Does Delaware Law require all motorcycle occupants to wear a protective helmet?

Yes
No
Only riders over 18
Only in certain counties

The correct answer is: No

Delaware law does not require all motorcycle occupants to wear a protective helmet. Instead, the law mandates that only riders under the age of 18 must wear helmets. This distinction allows adults over 18 the choice to ride without a helmet, reflecting a belief in personal responsibility and choice for mature riders. However, it is still strongly recommended for all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear helmets for their safety, as helmets can significantly reduce the risk of serious head injury in the event of an accident. The incorrect options reflect different interpretations of helmet laws. Some may suggest that there are age-specific requirements or that certain locations impose additional rules, but the overarching state law specifically focuses on those under 18. Understanding this legal framework is essential for safe riding practices and compliance with state regulations.
