Texas Motorcycle Safety Laws
Motorcycle Accident Lawyers: Texas offers motorcyclists the country’s widest range of geographic features and riding environments. From crowded urban streets to wide-open prairies, Texas has it all-- including a strictly-enforced regimen of motorcycle safety laws. Motorcycle safety laws protect both bikers and motorists; Texas motorcyclists should learn and adhere to the rules enacted to address the growing number of motorcycle accidents here in our state.
As gleaned from reliable sources including the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the American Motorcycle Association (AMA), Texas motorcycle safety laws require that:
- Helmets must be worn by riders younger than 21; motorcyclists who are 21 and older are strongly recommended to wear helmets, yet are not required to do so if they can show proof of successfully completing a motorcycle safety training course, or proof of appropriate medical insurance; there are no restrictions on helmet speakers;
- Eye protection is not required by law, but is highly recommended;
- Headlight use is required unless the motorcycle was built before 1975; other required equipment includes at least one mirror(right or left), and turn signals if the bike was made in or after 1960;
- Handlebar height is limited to a maximum of 15 inches above the seat;
- Passengers must be at least 5 years old unless a sidecar is used; a passenger seat is required if a passenger is being carried, yet a passenger footrest is not mandatory;
- State-funded motorcycle rider education and safety training is required for motorcyclists 18 and under, and is recommended for all riders;
- State compulsory liability insurance is required with minimum coverage limits at 25/50/25;
- Random motorcycle safety inspections are utilized to enforce the laws.
In spite of the web of motorcycle safety laws created to help reduce the frequency of serious motorcycle accidents, Texas bikers continue to be exposed to risk factors such as lack of visibility, under-maintained and poorly-marked roadways, and the ever-present threat from drunk or inattentive drivers.
