My grandson is 8 months old and can hold up his head now. I know he would have to wear a helmet, so I'm concerned he might be too young.


Answer
Check local regulations and then check with your pediatrician. My son's pediatrician said that his neck would not be strong enough to support both his head and a helmet until he was 1 year old. However, that was 22 yrs ago. I don't know if recommendations have changed since then, but you should check with the physician you trust with the rest of his health.

Can I ride a 43cc Gas Scooter in Massachusetts without a license/permit?

What are the laws in Massachusetts regarding gas powered scooters (no directionals/headlights/license plate/25mph max speed)? Can I ride one at 15 years old, with no permit or registration? What are the restrictions?


Answer
Massachusetts Law provides for the following restrictions in the operation of a Motor Scooter:

a) Operator must wear a helmet as prescribed by the Registrar. The helmet must meet or exceed the standards established in the United States Department of Transportation's (US DOT) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218 for motorcycle helmets (49 CFR 571.218).

b) Operator must be at least 16 years of age and have a valid driver's license or learner's permit.

c) Motorized Scooters may not be operated at a speed greater than twenty-miles per hour (20 m.p.h.).

d) Motorized Scooters may be operated on all public ways (except limited access or express state highways where signs prohibiting bicycles or scooters have been posted).

e) Motorized Scooter operators are subject to all state traffic laws and regulations, except that the operator must keep to the right side of the road at all times, including when passing a motor vehicle which is moving in the travel lane of the way.

f.) Operator shall signal when stopping or turning.

g.) Motorized Scooters may not be operated upon any way after sunset or before sunrise.

h.) No passenger may be carried on a Motorized Scooter.

i.) Any violation is subject to a fine of up to $25 (1st Offense); $25-$50 (2nd Offense); $50-$100 (3rd + Offense)...
