Clothing - APRILIA SCARABEO 250 - 2006 Manual

Always observe posted and statutory
speed limits, but do not assume that you
can ride as fast as the speed limit under all
road conditions. Slowing down a little can
greatly increase your safety under all road
conditions. Do not ride your vehicle off
road.
Do not tamper with the muffler system or
the emissions control system of your
vehicle. This is not only bad for the
environment, it can subject you to serious
penalties.

CLOTHING

Before riding your vehicle, ensure that your
riding gear is in good condition. To be
effective, your helmet must fit properly, and
the visor or other eye protection must be
clean. Both research and experience have
shown that drivers of other vehicles often
do not see vehicles or riders. In order to
make yourself more conspicuous to these
drivers, wear bright reflective clothing,
such as a reflective vest, or clothing with
reflective sections sewn into the jacket,
pants and gloves. Be particularly aware of
approaching automobiles and trucks that
might be trying to turn left in front of you.
Many vehicle accidents are caused by an
opposing automobile driver making a left
turn without warning in front of the vehicle.
Inevitably, the driver will look right at you,
yet swear that hedid not see you before
turning directly into your path.
Stay alert!
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colors. In this way you will
make yourself more visible to the other
drivers, notably reducing the risk of being
knocked down and being more protected in
case of fall.
Always wear your crash helmet. Many
accidents are fatal because of injuries to
the head.
This clothing should be very tightfitting and
fastened at the wrists and ankles.
Strings, belts and ties should not be
hanging loose; prevent these and other
objects from interfering with driving by
getting entangled with moving parts or
driving mechanisms.
