Bicycle Helmet Law
On 10/1/2001, the CHILD BICYCLE SAFETY ACT went into effect as enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly. Here is what it means to you and your child:
- All children below the age of 16 must wear a protective bicycle helmet that fits well and is fastened securely to the child's head using the straps of the helmet while they are operating a bicycle.
- This law also applies to children under the age of 16 who are passengers on bicycles being operated by another person. This does not apply to tricycles.
-
This requirement applies to all public roadways, public bicycle paths, or other public maintained right-of-ways.
-
Any parent/guardian found responsible for violation of the Child Helmet Safety Law may be ordered to pay a civil fine of up to ten dollars ($10).
