Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash hel-
met. Make sure that it is homologated, in good shape, of the
right size and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting
colours. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the
other drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of being knocked
down, and you will be more protected in case of fall.
This clothing should be very tight-fitting and fastened at the
wrists and ankles. Strings, belts and ties should not be hang-
ing loose; prevent these and other objects from interfering with
driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving
mechanisms.
Do not keep objects that can be dangerous in case of fall, for
example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in
your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to pas-
sengers).
