BDifficulty 2/5

Under the rules in force from 1 October 2026, which of these circumstances exempts a cyclist from wearing a helmet on an interurban road?

Correct answer

None of these circumstances.

None of those listed. Article 118.2 requires an approved or certified, properly fastened helmet on interurban roads. The former exceptions for prolonged uphill gradients, extreme heat and medical reasons were removed from Articles 118 and 119. If heat prevents safe riding, stop to rest somewhere safe; do not remove the helmet and continue riding.
