NSW; Helmet law

OK, so all you old farts... when did it become law in NSW to have to
wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle?

And when did it become so in other states?

Victoria in 1959

NSW I think sometime around 1970 but you could get away without wearing one
if you had a doctors certificate saying that you suffered with
claustrophobia

 

It doesn't help with the OP's question but it's perfectly legal to
ride without a helmet in the UK if you a Sikh and need to wear a
turban. That's the only exception.

 

....like most of your postings

I feel your pain.

 

Not sure. I got my licence in Nov 1963 and it wasn't a requirement in WA
then. I owned one but didn't wear it for the test.

I got mine in '76 and had to wear a helmet, so we now know it was sometime
between '71 and '76.

i wondered what happened with them, i gather these days they either dont
ride or wrap it around the top of their helmet?

 

I got my m/c licence in SA in '72; I wore a helmet and I'm pretty sure
that was coz we had to. But I'm also pretty sure that was a relatively
recent change to the law.

 

Qld was about 1970 but I don't know exactly.

 

Now they all drive hot cars that are fully-sikh!

Q: Does anything say "I'm a Wanker" louder than whinging about top-posting?
