Other State laws require operators and/or passengers of a certain age, e.g., under 18, to wear helmets. This is indicated as Age-specific. Some State laws include additional restrictions - such restrictions are indicated in this column, with footnotes to provide specific details. 2 While the sanctions shown are for the first offense, some States provide for greater sanctions for the second and/or subsequent offenses for not wearing a motorcycle helmet. Where Included is listed, this means the standard includes but is not limited to FMVSS 218. 4 While Alabama's law does not specifically authorize licensing action for this offense, an offender may be subject to such action. DOT HS 811 459 -1- April 2011
