RSVDon Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Ok, so another thread brought this up. Now I'm interested. Ohio law states:Eye Protection - Required by law unless equipped with windscreen.So does that mean if your helmet is equipped with a windscreen aka visor, or that your bike have a windscreen.I don't care either way as I wear a full face but I was curious.

natedogg624 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 i dont think sportbike windscreens count under the legal definition of a "windscreen." i believe it has to be taller than your head. oryour visor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeDredd Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Sportbike windshield would not count no.. helmet with visor or some sort of eyewear is required. Being caught with your visor up is also good enough to be stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 +1Just wear some eyewear/sunglasses or have the visor down when your riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I do, just curious on the law and its interpretation. Dayton suburb police will pull you over for any little thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrillo Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 so is it then illegal to have my visor cracked just a tiny bit while riding? I like to do this when its slow moving so I don't die in stop and go traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cattmouch33 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have never ever been stopped by a dayton cop...ever. Been speeding past them, have no front license plate, seems like they have other things to do. I normally crack the visor when slow moving, I think it's rare they will pull you over for the visor up unless they're looking for something else.
