Why is eye protection required in addition to a helmet in New York?
- A.It is only needed when riding at night
- B.It replaces the need for a helmet visor in all conditions
- C.A windshield alone does not reliably protect your eyes from wind, insects, and debris
- D.It is required only for passengers
Correct answer
C. A windshield alone does not reliably protect your eyes from wind, insects, and debris
Why
Wind, insects, stones, and other debris can impair vision or injure the eyes in an instant, and a motorcycle windshield does not provide dependable protection. Approved goggles, glasses, or a face shield keep your vision clear so you can use SEE effectively.
