​Michigan Motorcycle Helmet Law

As most riders are aware, it is now legal for some motorcycle riders to ride without using a motorcycle helmet. This is a big change for riders as it has been mandatory for the past 40 years for all motorcycle riders to wear a motorcycle helmet while riding in Michigan.

There are certain provisions that must be followed to be in compliance with Michigan law when riding without a motorcycle helmet: The primary factors allowing you to ride without a helmet are:

• Motorcyclists must be at least 21 and carry $20,000 in medical insurance.

• Motorcycle riders who choose to ride without helmets also must pass a safety course or have their motorcycle endorsement for at least two years.

Here at ApprovalPowersports.com where we sell a lot of motorcycles, we will not get into the debate of whether these changes in law should have occurred. We want everyone to enjoy their own style of riding whether it be with a helmet or without.

The Michigan motorcycle helmet laws have been subject to great debate over the years with people on both sides of the issue arguing to support their personal position. While we won't take sides here, we do hope that all riders will exercise the the proper cautions while riding a motorcycle and stay safe. Although organ donors are in great demand, we would prefer that you not become on of them due to carelessness or inattention while riding.
