Helmet and Clothing
Warning
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle
helmet,
gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting
around the knee and ankle) and a
brightly colored jacket. Brightly colored
clothing will considerably increase a
rider's (or passenger's) visibility to
other
operators
Although full protection is not possible,
wearing correct protective clothing can
reduce the risk of injury when riding.
Warning
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger's head comfortably
and securely. A brightly colored helmet
will increase a rider's (or passenger's)
visibility to other operators of road
vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
