1Opinion of the Court

OLSZEWSKI, Judge:

This is an appeal of a judgment of sentence for violation of Pennsylvania’s helmet law, 75 Pa.C.S. § 3525(a).

Appellant Dwayne R. Hull was stopped by a Pennsylvania State Police Officer on July 4, 1996. Appellant, who was operating a motorcycle, was charged with violating 75 Pa.C.S. § 3525(a) because his helmet did not conform to the standards promulgated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) in 67 Pa.Code §§ 107.5(d) and (f). Appellant appeals his conviction of this summary offense, claiming that 75 Pa.C.S. § 3525 is unconstitutionally vague.
