Legal Commentary. Georgia law on requiring motorcycle helmets can be considered strict compared to other states not requiring helmets. All operators and passengers on motorcycles must wear a helmet at all times when the motorcycle is being operated in Georgia, unless the passenger is in a vehicle meeting the definition of a motorcycle with an enclosed cab or motorized cart. The helmets also must meet the Georgia Commissioner of Public Safety’s approved standards for motorcycle helmets.
Included in the Georgia Helmet Law is the requirement that all motorcycles must have either a windshield or the operator and/or passenger must wear Georgia Commissioner of Public Safety approved goggles or eye protective devices. Similar to the Georgia Helmet Law, this also does not apply to a vehicle meeting the definition of a motorcycle with an enclosed cab or motorized cart.
This Georgia statute also grants the authority to the Georgia Commissioner of Public Safety to approve standards for protective headgear and eye protective devices; enforce those standards; and to publish those standards.
