My first road trip I did not wear a helmet. A couple observations from that trip. After opening it up my hair and mustache were tangled. I also met an 18 wheeler on a 2 lane road who kicked up a lot of sand and salt left over from winter. Painful lesson.
My third road trip I had a motorcycle helmet with me with a full clear shield. I went without wearing the helmet until I started on unknown roads. Glad I put it on, one of the roads was tarred with loose gravel on the tar. Front wheels picked up and pelted me. Lot of ping ping ping off the helmet and face shield but no pain this time. :-)
To me, what it boils down to, where and what I am up to if I wear a helmet.
