Riders without helmets are more likely to suffer
severe bodily injury or die if they are in an accident.
Warning
Check that your helmet complies with safety
specifications, permits good vision, is the right size
for your head, and carries a certification label
indicating that it conforms to the standards in force in
your state. Road traffic laws differ from state to state.
Learn about traffic laws in your state before riding and
always obey them.

Rider's training

Accidents are frequently due to inexperience. Riding,
manoeuvres and braking must be performed in a
different way than on the other vehicles.

Untrained riders or a wrong use of the vehicle
may lead to loss of control, serious injuries or even
death.

Apparel

Riding gear is very important for safety. Unlike cars, a
motorcycle offers no impact protection in an accident.
Proper riding gear includes helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, long sleeve jacket and long trousers.
- The helmet must meet the requirements listed at
page 9; if your helmet does not have a visor, use
suitable eye wear;
- Use five-finger gloves made from leather or
abrasion-resistant material;
- Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles
and offer ankle protection;
- Jacket, trousers or riding suit must be made from
leather or abrasion-resistant material and have
high-visibility colours and inserts.
Important
Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories
that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.
