Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: glasses, ohio bmv, motorcycle index

Question
in ohio are rider glasses needed if you have motorcycle with a windshield?

Answer
According to the Ohio BMV Manual, "A windshield is not a substitute for a faceshield or goggles".  So I'd say, no.  ;)  

There are plenty of OSHA Certified safety glasses that actually look quite nice, and are functional.  One brand I highly recommend is the Wiley X brand.  They make OSHA Certified sunglasses and goggles, with optional clear lenses that pop in/out.  They've also got some models that have a foam backing to help protect against wind.  I actually own 3 pairs of these myself.
