Rider Reference Card

New Mexico

One card, two sides — two wallet-sized pages. Print at full size with margins off; your browser reads the page size from the card itself. Each card carries one clause, one date and the name of the person who checked it.

New Mexico state

Helmets

Not required — no rule addresses it

The law’s definition excludes this device by its shape.

No person under the age of eighteen shall operate a motorcycle unless the person is wearing a safety helmet that is securely fastened on the person's head in a normal manner as headgear

§ 66-7-356

Evidence: Tier A — the jurisdiction’s own official publication

Law as of 2026-08-31 · git c35aac7

Legal information as of the date printed, not legal advice, and not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Verify against the official source at the link.

Why the other subjects have no card

No card for this yet: PEVRA has not verified this rule against its official source. A card would print a claim nobody here can stand behind. (19 subjects)

PEVRA does not print a card for a place nobody has verified, and no status on this site means a rider is in the clear everywhere. A card that could say that would be a card that could be wrong.
