Motorcycles don require occupant safety standards, so why are LSV operators subjected to additional driving restrictions?
• Federally, crash testing for occupant safety is not required for motorcycles, just as it is not required for LSVs. However, provincially, Ontario requires helmet use for all motorcyclists (and bicyclists under the age of 18). The safety benefits of helmets are well documented. • It is important to note that LSVs are not required to have seatbelt assembly anchorages that meet performance standards; if the seatbelt assembly is poorly anchored, the safety benefits accorded to drivers and passengers may be inadequate.
