QQGIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

Scooters are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom.

However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best scooter does not

ignore the laws of physics.

Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your

scooter. Moreover, what is true for the scooter is also true for the rider: good performance depends on

being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of

the question. Scooter riders—more than car drivers—must always be at their mental and physical

best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous

risks.

Protective clothing is as essential for the scooter rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passen-

gers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic

materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum pro-

tective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits,

in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable.

Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is

even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensive-

ly—avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.

Enjoy your ride!
