But why the decision to ban Kei trucks from Rhode Island streets? Because the DMV claims they don't meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

Motorcycles require additional certification before riding

Damn, I’d study and take the test for a Kei truck citation in a heartbeat

Helmets are not required in Rhode Island

The driver is unprotected on a Motorcycle, the kei truck ban is ... because it doesn't protect enough the driver in case of crash.
If you put the motorcycles on the same standard than the cars, none but a few would be allowed.
