| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was stopped for wearing a non-dot approved helmet on three occasions. but, when i bought a new helmet after the first stop, i took in the nevada revised statute, a copy of fmvss.218 and asked the dealer if the helmet i was purchasing complied with both of the above. he said it did. i was stopped again two months later. i once again attempted to purchase a different helmet, with the same guidelines, but the salesperson had no idea if the helmet complied, and repeatedly stated that fmvss.218 was a manufacturer's obligation, not the obligation of the seller. if it is not the obligation of the seller, then it cannot be the obligation of the purchaser. i went to the highway patrol offices in nevada, california and arizona and they only told me that any helmet i bought had to meet fmvss.218. i contacted the department of transportation and asked for a list of approved helmets, so i could make a "conforming" purchase. i was told they do not approve helmets, and once again was referred to fmvss.218. as a middle class, administrative assistant who likes to ride without getting stopped due to the helmet, can someone please tell me what helmets are legal - as in, i need a manufacturer, make and model before i spend any more of my hard earned money. i live in rural nevada, so it has to be one i can buy on line or in washoe county. *tr |
