Amend motorcycle laws to make full protective wearable gear mandatory

Amend motorcycle laws to make full protective wearable gear mandatory — 36 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

The law currently only mandates for motorcycle riders to wear helmets. We think this needs to change so riders are required by law to wear full protective wearable gear, including jackets, footwear, trousers and gloves.

Additional details

With too many accidents still taking place each year, safety for all parties is priority. Currently motorcycle riders are only mandated by law to wear a helmet when on the roads. We believe this needs to be amended to include protective jackets, footwear, trousers and gloves as a matter of urgency to keep our loved ones safe.
