You could, but your field of view in an automotive fullface helmet is going to be less than it would in a fullface motorcycle helmet. That's why there are different ratings for 'em...

Just to add from what I have heard from other people. Motorcylce and Car helmets are designed for 2 seperate appliactions. Motorcyle helmets are designed to take one huge blow when your head impacts the ground and then you throw it away. Car helmets are designed to take a series of small bumps since you are still supposedly protected inside the car.
