Aus Helmet Laws
Hi,
I am planning to bring my bike over to Sydney with me and by pure chance came across a mention of large fines and helmet confiscation if your helmet does not conform to AS1698.
I paid £300 for my Shoei helmet which is sold in Aus, but naturally don't want my helmet confiscated if I use it. How have you all got around this issue ?
Are there any other safety standards that I need to look out for on leathers etc ?
Cheers

Re: Aus Helmet Laws
You will have to get a new lid, but on the bright side they are snell tested out there which is more strict than our ec 2205. I don't think it matters with leathers etc as it's not a legal requirement to wear them.
I need a new lid but obviously i'm waiting

Re: Aus Helmet Laws
No way, I just bought it. That's annoying, especially as the exact same helmet is sold in Aus.
