GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY EUU75900 THINK OF YOUR SAFETY 1 Both scooters and mopeds are fascinating vehicles which give a tremendous feeling of freedom to their riders. They must be correctly maintained at all times in order to ensure optimum performance. However, as a rider you must also ensure that your physical condition is good, and that you are not tired, in order that you too can optimize your vehicle control. Medicines, drugs and alcohol should not be combined with riding, especially alcohol, which increases the individual's likelihood of taking risks. Alcohol is dangerous, even in small quantities. Correct protective riding gear is just as much a part of motorcycling safety as the safety belt is in the car; a good leather suit and gloves, sturdy boots and a good quality, properly fitting crash helmet are ideal. But beware: good protective clothing can result in the individual being lulled into a false sense of security. When this happens more risks are taken and speeds increase...this particularly applies in wet weather. The good motorcyclist therefore rides defensively and protectively in order to minimize risks. 1-1

THINK OF YOUR SAFETY
Both scooters and mopeds are fascinating vehicles which give a tremendous feeling of freedom to their riders. They
must be correctly maintained at all times in order to ensure optimum performance. However, as a rider you must also
ensure that your physical condition is good, and that you are not tired, in order that you too can optimize your vehicle
control. Medicines, drugs and alcohol should not be combined with riding, especially alcohol, which increases the
individual’s likelihood of taking risks. Alcohol is dangerous, even in small quantities.
Correct protective riding gear is just as much a part of motorcycling safety as the safety belt is in the car; a good leather
suit and gloves, sturdy boots and a good quality, properly fitting crash helmet are ideal. But beware: good protective
clothing can result in the individual being lulled into a false sense of security. When this happens more risks are taken
and speeds increase... this particularly applies in wet weather. The good motorcyclist therefore rides defensively and
protectively in order to minimize risks.
