This is going to sound like a stupid question, but I figure Adv rider folk are more likely to know than most others on KB.
Question is: Are motocross helmets legal to use on the road?
I searched around, but found nothing addressing this on the site, though given another few weeks I could have trawled every therad. The reason for the question is that we have one car, 2 kids and potentially conflicting appointments. Leave out the argument "Would you let your kid ride on the back of your bike in an MX lid." for the moment, this is hypothetical and the fact that I even thought of it disturbed me. (I still need to get him & the bike in the same place to see if his feet reach the pegs.)
We could allow an argument on the topic: Can you get on-road lids in kids sizes, and would a "no" answer negate the above (disallowed) argument on the basis that a lid that fits is better than a top-of-the-line lid which is 3 sizes too big.
At least there would be a place to go to find out the answer(s). Here.
NZTA say anything approved to UN/ECE 22-5 will do. MX lid says it does....
