Germany Weighs ATV Helmet Law
Despite the absence of a formal helmet law for ATV operators in Germany, the country’s Industrie-Verband Motorrad (IVM) and Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV) recently kicked off a safety campaign heralding the use of rider head protection.
The move comes as the German government debates legislation regarding the issue of helmets for ATV operators. The organizations, working with ATV manufacturers and importers, say they are in favor of a helmet law similar to that already established for motorcyclists.
