If You Crash - Honda NSS250A Owner's Manual

If You Crash

Personal safety is your first priority after
any accident. If you or anyone else has
been injured, take time to assess the
severity of the injuries and whether it is
safe to continue riding. Call for
emergency assistance if needed. Also
follow applicable laws and regulations if
another person or vehicle is involved in
the accident.
If you decide you are capable of riding
safely, carefully inspect your scooter for
damage and determine if it is safe to ride.
Check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts securing such parts as the handlebar,
control levers, brakes, and wheels.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
If there is minor damage, or you are
unsure about possible damage, ride slowly
and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage
is hidden or not immediately apparent, so
you should have your scooter thoroughly
checked at a qualified service facility as
soon as possible. Also, be sure to have
your Honda dealer check the frame and
suspension after any serious crash.
If your scooter cannot be ridden, see
Transporting Your Scooter, page 155 .
