Do
Motorcycle Helmets Interfere with the Vision and Hearing of Riders PDF
version (posted
June 1996)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsored a study to
access the effect of wearing a helmet upon the ability of motorcycle riders
(1) to visually detect the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes before
changing lanes and (2) to detect traffic sounds when operating at normal
traffic speeds. The information in this study will benefit motorcycle
advocates across the nation seeking information about the impact of helmet
usage on motorcyclists' vision and hearing.
