SCOOTER SAFETY
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, always wear an approved motorcycle or scooter
helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-
sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride your scooter.
Helmets and protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear be-
cause it offers the best protection against head injuries. Your
helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and aid
your vision.
Additional riding gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, you should also use:
• Sturdy boots with nonslip soles to help protect your
feet and ankles
• Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help pre-
vent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises
• A motorcycle or scooter riding suit or jacket that has
been designed for comfort, as well as protection. Bright
colored and reflective clothing can help make you more
noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothing
that can get caught on any part of your scooter.
Not wearing a helmet increases your chance of serious
injury or death in a crash.
