No Motorcycle laws in Missouri start today

Some Missourians will be able to ride their motorcycles without a helmet, starting this morning.

Governor Mike Parson signed legislation into law in July, which gives Missouri motorcyclists the option of riding without a helmet.

Under the old law, every person operating or riding on a motorcycle had to wear protective headgear. But starting today, Missouri motorcyclists ages 26 and older can ride without a helmet, if they have both medical insurance and proof of financial responsibility.
