GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY SAFE RIDING 1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident. 2. This scooter is designed to carry the operator and passenger in certain conditions (check the relevant regulation of each country). 3. Most traffic accidents involving scooters and cars are due to the fact that car drivers do not see scooters. By making yourself clearly visible, you can reduce the risks of accidents. From now on: a. Wear a brightly colored jacket. b. Be very cautious when approaching crossroad, because this is where most accidents are caused. c. Ride where other drivers can see you. Avoid remaining in car drivers' "blind spot". 4. Numerous accidents are equally due to the rider's lack of experience. In fact, it is those scooter riders who do not hold a full driving licence who are involved in most accidents. a. Make sure that you are properly taught. Do not lend your scooter to anyone who is not an experienced rider. b. Know your limitations and do not over-estimate them. c. Practice wherever there is no traffic until you are familiar with the scooter and its controls. 5. Many scooter accidents are due to riding faults. A typical riding fault is where the rider takes a corner too wide because of EXCESSIVE SPEED or takes it too sharply (too tight a corner for the speed). a. Always observe the speed limits and never go faster than the state of the road and the traffic conditions allow. b. Always signal when turning or changing lanes. Make sure you can be seen by other road users. 6. The operator's and passenger's posture are important for proper control. a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboard during operation to maintain control of the scooter. b. The passenger should always hold on the operator, or the seat strap or grab bar if the scooter is so equipped with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests. c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests. 7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 1-3 1
