The Commissioner for Transport also has discretion to approve

other helmets provided they afford a degree of protection from injury

equal to or greater than those which comply with the quoted standards.

The term "motor cycle" includes motorcycles, motor scooters

and all two wheeled motor vehicles with an unladen weight of not more

than six hundredweight (cwt).

The regulations stipulate that only approved helents may be sold,

hired out, or displayed for sale or hiring.

Anyone who contravenes this regulation by possessing either

for sale or hire an unapproved type of helmet, will be liable on conviction

to a fine of $1,000 and six months' imprisonment.

In the event of a conviction for the possession of a non-approved

helmet, the courts may order the forfeiture and disposal of the helmets.
