[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"Under North Carolina law, everyone riding a motorcycle must wear a safety helmet that complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218. This includes both motorcycle operators and passengers. If you\u2019re not wearing a motorcycle helmet at the time of an accident, it can complicate your claim and make it more challenging to seek compensation for your injuries.  North Carolina allows full helmets that include visors or three-quarter helmets that leave the face open to the wind. Face shields on full helmets protect riders\u2019 eyes and help prevent accidents on the road by keeping sand, debris, and bugs out of riders\u2019 faces. If riders choose a three-quarter motorcycle helmet, the NC DOT recommends that riders wear goggles or other face protection on the road.  A motorcycle helmet made according to safety standards must meet certain requirements. These include having a thick inner liner of foam, a DOT sticker showing the helmet is approved by the Department of Transportation, and a manufacturer's label showing important information about the helmet. If a motorcycle helmet is missing any of these items, it's unlikely that it complies with the law.","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/motorcycle-accident-lawyer\/north-carolina-motorcycle-laws\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"North Carolina requires that most motorcycles get annual safety inspections.
