While riding a motorcycle, are you obliged to use a crash helmet?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes, unless the motorcycle is originally fitted with safety belts.

In accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, the primary duty of every motorcyclist is to use a protective helmet to protect their head. However, the law provides for an exception to this rule for motorcycles that are factory-fitted with seat belts. In such a situation, the seat belts constitute the primary form of protection for the rider, exempting them from the requirement to wear a helmet.
