The safety of a scooter depends on the care taken

Excessive speed is a decisive factor in many acci-
dents.
Respect speed limits and never go faster than is
safe under the road conditions. Take care not to
skid on road marking lines. Always do a general
check before using your scooter to make sure that
it can be used safely. Traffic rules require that the
driver and his passenger wear a helmet. It is also
recommended that you wear gloves, an eye pro-
tection and bright and visible clothes to increase
safety.Anew Scooter driver should become familiar
with his scooter before starting to drive in traffic. A
scooter driver must signal his presence to other
users by:
- Switching on his lights when in motion
- Avoiding driving in places in which he is not
visible to other vehicles
- Driving carefully
- Taking special care at intersections, car park
entrances and exits, and slip roads.
Your scooter is designed for town use on the road
