Safe riding
±
Always
make
pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.
±
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and passenger.
±
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic is
the predominating cause of auto-
mobile/scooter accidents. Many
accidents have been caused by an
automobile driver who did not see
the scooter. Making yourself con-
spicuous appears to be very effec-
tive in reducing the chance of this
type of accident.
±
Therefore:
±
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
±
Use extra caution when ap-
proaching and passing through
intersections,
since
intersec-
tions are the most likely places
for scooter accidents to occur.
±
Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist
’
s blind spot.
±
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent driver
’
s license.
±
Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified opera-
tors.
±
Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
±
We recommend that you prac-
tice riding your scooter where
there is no traffic until you have
become thoroughly familiar with
the scooter and all of its con-
trols.
±
Many accidents have been caused
by error of the scooter operator. A
typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to
EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercor-
nering (insufficient lean angle for
the speed).
±
Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warrant-
ed by road and traffic conditions.
