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.
Attention
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 17; 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.
