Enforcement of
Cycle Helmet Law
Full enforcement of the law requiring motorcycle operators and passengers to wear protective helmets of an approved type began September 15, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, has reminded motorcyclists. Colonel Burgess stated that the law, enacted by the 1970 General Assembly and recommended by the U. S. Highway Safety Act of 1966, ' required himto.'establish standards within one year after enactment of the law and that enforcement of it begin no sooner than 60 days after filing of the standards. September 15, was the date selected. The Virginia standards colsely parallel the ANSI Z90 ones set by the American National Standards Institute, Inc. As of now, Colonel Burgess said that some 25 helmets have been approved and others will be passe<J on shortly. The selling or offering for sale of an unapproved helmet after the enforcement date is illegal.
Colonel Burgess added that it is most important that the manufacturer’s identifying label, usually a decal, not be removed, obliterated or covered up, as this is the only immediate means whereby a police officer can determine if the helmet is an approved type.
Colonel Burgess added that lists of approved models are available to the public through any State Police facility.
