Nevada Motorcycle Helmet Law

In Nevada, helmets are only required when the motorcycle is being driven on the highway. Drivers and riders must wear a helmet and protective glasses, goggles, or face shields that meet the standards adopted by the Nevada's Motor Vehicle Department.

If the bike is equipped with a windscreen, the driver and passenger are not required to wear glasses, goggles, or face shields. Helmet and eye protection are not required when a motorcycle is being driven in a parade authorized by a local authority or when the driver and passengers ride on a three-wheeled motorcycle with an enclosed cab.

Because helmet and eye protection standards can change, it's best to check with the Motor Vehicle Department to learn about current requirements before riding on a motorcycle in Nevada.
