The penalty for not wearing a helmet is a maximum fine of $200.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. The maximum is $100
• D. The maximum is $300

Answer: (B)

Penalties for helmet violations are set by law and can vary by jurisdiction and over time. The statement claiming a universal maximum of $200 assumes a fixed cap, but the actual maximum is determined by the current statute in force in your area and can differ based on factors like age, offense history, or whether it’s a first offense. That’s why this item is not correct—the stated maximum isn’t guaranteed to be $200 in every case. When studying, check the current helmet-violation regulation or traffic code for the exact maximum and any additional penalties that may apply.
