Fake DOT stickers


Found this. I know must of you buy expensive helmets so it's not a problem for most.

Re: Fake DOT stickers


I think fake Snell stickers would be more concerning. I never buy a helmet that's just DOT approved. You could also use common sense if you suspect a helmet to have a fake DOT sticker. For example, if the owner drilled "speed holes" in the helmet and it has a DOT sticker, it's probably a fake sticker.

Re: Fake DOT stickers


that's the downfall to mandatory helmet laws... lack of enforcement.
if you're gonna have a law - enforce it.
if you're not going to enforce it - don't have a law.

then all the retards who figure they're "getting one over on the man" with their novelty helmet and faux DOT sticker can just go helmet-less and speed the gene pool cleanse

Re: Fake DOT stickers


In Vermont you can wear an old leather football helmet and it is legal as long as you attach a reflector to it.

"No person may operate or ride upon a motorcycle upon a highway unless he wears upon his head protective headgear reflectorized in part and of a type approved by the commissioner. The headgear shall be equipped with either a neck or chin strap."
