Ohio’s Motorcycle Helmet Law – ORC 4511.53

Riding a motorcycle is more dangerous than driving a car. They are less stable than a car during maneuvers such as emergency braking and swerving. They are also less visible on the road. Moreover, when they crash they lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle so the driver and passenger are more likely to be injured or killed. The federal government estimates that wearing a helmet reduces the risk of dying in a crash by 37 percent. Unhelmeted drivers are 3 times more likely than helmeted ones to sustain traumatic brain injuries in a crash.
