You dont have to have a traditional helmet. Since its a car and there is no "required' helmet type, you could use anything you wanted really.

gimp mask?

There are any number of things to put over your head for driving in the car. You dont need a traditional car or motorcycle helmet.

edit2:
Now I want to wear this

Under 55 mph a decent pair of aviator sunglasses work well if you don't expect a lot of other cars (and the debris they can kick up).

Most of the time I use the Save Phace masks and they work pretty well. However, on the freeway, I use a full face helmet. For some reason my better half doesn't think I should use my old helmet....

Holy crap...that's friggen cool...Mr. Woolery is a Boss.

Thanks jlester, I do notice a good bit of rocks/debris hitting my windshield on the way to work so it would probably have to be a full face helmet or the windshield... :/

Another option. level III ballistic face mask (will protect against a 44 mag at that level)

Terry - I saw that video when you posted it on another thread! Definitely not what you want! but...helmet or no helmet, getting caught in the rain would suck, best bet would be to try and pull over to wait it out under some cover.

Depends where you are. I once got stuck in a downpour and passed a sign that said "Next exit 86 miles".

So do any of you drive yours on the interstate? Or...on any long, straight roads at high rates of speed ???

Yes, but I prefer to do it during the daytime. At night, it is a bit of an adventure:

Does not sound like a fun ride...

LOL That looks like it sucked... I probably wouldn't have been going over 10mph if that's all I could see. I'm guessing a lot of people upgrade to HID's if that's stock visibility???

The issue isn't the lights, it is the location. The lights do a great job of illuminating the front fenders and the innards of the frame, not so much on the road. You get used to it. The speed in that picture was a lot higher than your number, BTW - but it was under controlled conditions. As they say "Professional driver on a closed course".

I wouldn't recommend wearing a Darth Vader helmet. Visibility sucks in those. I've done it a couple of times, but that was only to take a few novelty pictures.

My usual head gear is a retro Davida helmet/facemask, aviator goggles, and balaclava. The combination of these acts as a sort of semi-soft helmet setup. It's lighter and more comfortable than a full face helmet, and provides plenty of protection from most things (rocks, bugs, wind, sun, etc).
