Getting Ready & Protective Gear

If your motorcycle does not have a windshield, what is the best way to protect your eyes?

  • A.Wearing ordinary sunglasses and squinting in the wind
  • B.Relying on a cap brim to block debris
  • C.Wearing a face shield or shatter-resistant goggles
  • D.Riding with no eye protection on short trips
Correct answer

C. Wearing a face shield or shatter-resistant goggles

Why

A face shield or shatter-resistant goggles protect against wind, dust, bugs, and road debris that can suddenly impair vision. Ordinary sunglasses alone can slip or blow off and offer less protection.
