What should you do with your helmet while riding?

Keeping your helmet securely fastened on your head while riding is crucial for your safety. The primary purpose of wearing a helmet is to protect your head in the event of an accident. A properly fastened helmet reduces the risk of it coming off during a ride, which can lead to severe injury or fatality. Helmets are designed to absorb impacts, and if they are not worn correctly, that protection is compromised.

Other options, such as hanging the helmet on the motorcycle handle or placing it on the seat when not riding, do not offer any protection and could lead to the helmet being damaged or stolen. Removing the helmet when not in direct sunlight does not address the essential need for head protection while riding. Therefore, keeping the helmet on your head ensures you are adequately protected during your ride, which is why this choice is the most appropriate.
