According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, all of the southern states have some sort of law that requires a motorcycle rider to wear a helmet, though the laws do differ. Some of the laws require motorcycle riders of a certain age to wear a helmet, while other laws require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets, regardless of their age. Also, while all southern states do have some form of the law that required motorcycle riders to wear helmets, the following states have no law regarding helmets: Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire. It's suggested that before you ride in any specific state, you check the local laws of that state to see what is required.
