Washington
Motorcycle Helmet Law
Washington law requires all motorcycle
operators and passengers to wear a helmet conforming to the rules adopted by the
Washington State Patrol. The helmet must be equipped with either a neck or chin
strap, which must be fastened securely when the motorcycle is in motion.
In addition, all operators must wear
glasses, goggles, or a face shield of a type conforming to the rules adopted by
the State Patrol, unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield.
The State Patrol is authorized and
empowered to adopt and amend rules concerning standards and procedures for
conformance of rules adopted for helmets, glasses, goggles, and face shields.
Because these rules are subject to change, it's best to check with the State
Patrol before riding on a motorcycle in Washington.
