[Elist] HELMET REGULATION CHANGES

[John Del Santo]

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) / Department of Transportation (DOT)  released a final ruling yesterday in changes to FMVS 218 which regards motorcycle helmet regulations.  At some point in the near future helmet manufacturers will be required to change the markings of helmets in several ways....the major change will be to permanently mark the back of a helmet with the words "FMVS 218  DOT  CERTIFIED".    The stated reason for this is so that the police can spot alleged "fake" stickers used on some riders helmets.
