Maryland Motorcycle Helmet Law
In Maryland, all motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear a helmet. Additionally, all motorcycle operators must wear eye protection, unless the bike is equipped with a windscreen.
Helmets and eye protection must meet the standards established by Maryland’s Administrator of Transportation, who approves safety gear and adopts/enforces standards and specifications for approval of safety gear. The Administrator publishes a list of all protective gear that is approved by name and type.
Because such standards are subject to change, it is advisable to check with the Administrator before driving or riding on a motorcycle in Maryland.
