What’s in it

AI summary People under 18 years old must wear a properly fitted and fastened safety helmet whenever they ride a motorcycle or motorized bicycle on public roads. This rule also applies to any passengers under 18 who are riding on the vehicle. Anyone who breaks these rules could be required to pay a $35 fine.1
