Unlike passenger vehicles, mopeds do not offer their drivers any sort of protection in the event of an accident. For this reason, accidents involving mopeds, scooters or motorcycles tend to leave riders with more serious or even fatal injuries.
If you decide to take a moped for a spin, here are a few precautions you can take to stay safe on the road.
- Wear a helmet at all times.
- Wear leather or other tough clothing for extra protection against the road.
- Stay visible – use headlights and reflectors.
- Closely obey all traffic laws.
