What must you do to protect yourself against head injuries?

To protect yourself against head injuries while riding a motorcycle, you must always wear an appropriate, well-fitting motorcycle helmet. Only helmets that are specifically designed for motorcycle use and meet official safety standards provide the necessary protection in case of an accident. Items like motorcycle caps or work safety helmets do not offer the required protection and are not allowed by law. This rule helps to significantly reduce the risk of severe head injuries in the event of a crash. So, choosing a proper motorcycle helmet is essential for your safety and is a legal requirement in Germany.
