Can auto racing helmets be used for streetbike helmets?
Auto racing helmets cannot be used for street bicycling or motorcycling, at least in many jurisdictions where minimum visual field requirements exist for a street legal helmet.Although auto racing helmets are similar in construction to motorcycle helmets and provide the same level of protection, they have a number of essential differences besides possessing fire protection required in ultra-high-speed car crashes:Car racing helmets are designed more for repeated impacts in a single place since a securely held racing driver will not move. In contrast, during a motorcycle crash the rider will hit his or her head in many places.Car racing helmets are shaped a little differently from motorcycle helmets because most hits are to the top of the driver's head rather than the front or the sides as in a motorcycle helmet. The full-face protection on a race car helmet will not extend as low on the face as in a motorcycle helmet.Race car helmets have very narrow visual fields. This means that if used on a street bike the rider could quite possibly not see a vehicle coming in from the side.These three features mean an auto racing helmet is not going to provide optimum protection for a motorcycle or bicycle rider on a public street, and could even be dangerous because it is so hard to see out of.
