New California bill could allow Sikh bikers to ride motorcycles without helmets due to religious reasons.
According to the Sikh Rehat Maryada, a code of conduct for orthodox Sikhism, men are required to wear a turban as a symbol of humility, and children wear patkas — a cloth head covering secured with strings.
The Automobile Club of Southern California opposes the legislation, citing concerns that it would weaken the state’s universal motorcycle helmet law. More than 5,500 motorcyclists died in 2020, and more than 180,000 were injured from motorcycle crashes,Helmets were found to reduce the risk of head injuries from crashes by 69%.
“It’s an opportunity to give them the freedoms of their faith and let them live the American dream and ride a motorcycle and not have to wear a helmet that doesn’t go over a turban,” Dahle said.
