New motorcycle helmet ratings website Monday, 28 June 2010
 
New safety ratings for motorcycle helmets website.

New safety ratings have been announced by Road Safety Minister Mike Penning as he unveiled a new website to give motorcyclists the best advice and information on choosing a helmet.
 
Below is a page of the type of information that is shown on the site.
All these ratings are published on the new SHARP website which has been overhauled to include more information for motorcyclists on how to find the right helmet for them. The site also includes demonstrations of how the SHARP tests are carried out and how to make sure a helmet fits properly.

In addition, new in-store information leaflets are being made available for retailers to give them and their customers more information about the SHARP scheme.

202 helmets have now been tested and rated by SHARP - the Department for Transport’s Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme.
