Observe all rules of the road. Particularly
pay attention to all warning, regulatory and
informational signs.
Avoid showing off (i.e., popping wheelies).
Especially observe speed limits, remember
that road conditions change with the
weather and wet and icy pavements are
particularly dangerous for vehicles, espe-
cially if you are riding too fast. Remember
that automobile drivers have a hard time
seeing two wheeled vehicles, so always
give the automobile the right of way, even if
it is legally yours.
Before changing lane, look over your
shoulder to make sure that the way is
clear. Do not rely exclusively on the rear-
view mirror: you may miscalculate the dis-
tance and speed of a vehicle, or you may
even not see it at all.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the ve-
hicle or make you lose control.
Do not tailgate, do not attempt to increase
your gas mileage by following in the slip
stream of cars or trucks in front of you.
In case of accident motorcycles, scooters
and mopeds do not provide the same de-
gree of protection ensured by automobiles.
The legs, in particular, are exposed the risk
of being injured. However, the additional
installation of leg guards may actually in-
crease the risk of injuries and their serious-
ness in case of accident.
Do not install leg guards available on the
market of spare parts and accessories.
Non-compliance with these instructions
may result in serious injuries or even
death.
Always ride with both hands on the han-
dlebars and feet on the footrests.
Never shift gear without using the clutch, if
the vehicle is so equipped. Do not operate
the shift lever or the other controls sudden-
ly or abruptly. Such misuse can damage
the internal components of the vehicle and
consequently cause seizure, loss of con-
trol, accidents and serious injuries or even
death.
Remain in the seat when you are riding.
Do not stand up or attempt to stretch while
you are riding your vehicle. If you need to
rest, pull over to the side of the road when
it can be safely done.
