RI does not require a helmet on a motorcycle, so I'm sure we don't require one on a scooter, either. DUH! Most that I see have a helmet, as we are right on the Mass. stat line, you can't help but cross now and again. Mass. DOES require a helmet. Other parts of RI border CT which also requires a helmet.
A teacher told this to our class about driving a motorbike with no safety gear on.

'Even a ride around the block can be dangerous on an MC. Guys, if you want to take a gal for a ride on your bike make sure she has the right gear on. No one likes scarred women.'

My bro and SIL witnessed a scooter accident a few weeks ago. He told me that when the guy got up off the ground the face shield on the skid lid was scratched so badly that it was opaque and if he hadn't had a chin bar he face would have been scraped up pretty badly.
