help Im a newbie and i need info what type of helmet should i wear?
The Answer to that question is sometimes you only need to choose the type of helmet that would suite your needs like comfort,safety,style but to give you a better picture about what are the diffrent types of helmets here are the descriptions of helmets.
There are five basic types of helmets intended for motorcycling, and others not intended for motorcycling but which are used by some riders. All of these types of helmets are secured by a chin strap, and their protective benefits are greatly reduced, if not eliminated, if the chin strap is not securely fastened so as to maintain a snug fit.
From most to least protective, as generally accepted by riders and manufacturers, the helmet types are:
Full face
A full face helmet covers the entire head, with a rear that covers the base of the skull...
Drivers and back riders who fail to wear prescribed helmet will be fined P1,500 plus attending seminar for traffic safety to be conducted by LTO.
* For carrying more passenger other than the back rider or cargo, a penalty of P1,000. * For defective accessories such as headlight, tail light, signal light, brake light, side mirror and horn a fine of P1,000 for the violators. * For modifying any part of the original design of a motorcycle or scooter without approval of LTO and the DTI a fine of P2,000. * Wearing flip flop, sandals, or slippers fine of P500 for the first offense, P700 for the 2nd offense and P1,000 for the 3rd offense and revocation of driver?s license.
