Approximately 2,000 motorcyclists are killed, and more than 50,000 are injured in traffic crashes each year. Many of these injuries and deaths could be prevented if motorcycle riders and their passengers wore helmets.  

Illinois law does not require motorcycle operators or passengers to wear helmets. The law does, however, require drivers and riders to protect their eyes with glasses, goggles, or a transparent shield.
