Scooter Safety Gear and Safety Rules

Used Scooters- Free Ads

• Always wear your helmet! (Head injuries are very serious.)
• Wear knee and elbow pads just like those used for in-line skating.
• Wrist guards are also highly recommended to help avoid broken wrists or arms when using your hands to break a fall.  The wrist guards should have hard plastic on the palm to reduce the force of the impact.
• Keep a constant lookout for cars - especially backing out of parking areas and driveways!
• Do not ride at night - your vehicle is too small to see at night.
• Travel with friends so that there is someone to go for help if you need it.
• Don't ride with headphones on, because your ears are a valuable warning tool - sometimes even more useful than your eyes, since you don't have eyes in the back of your head!
• Wear neon, fluorescent, or other bright colors when riding during the day.
• Obey traffic rules, such as yielding at intersections and stopping for stop signs.
• Stay alert at all times. Watch out for potholes, cracks, wet leaves, storm gates, railroad tracks, or anything that could make you lose control.
• Ride so cars can see you. Stay out of drivers' blind spots.
• Ride far enough out from the curb to avoid the unexpected from parked cars (like doors opening).
• Always wear your helmet! (Head injuries can kill you!) - Yes, we know that's the first thing on the list.  It's FIRST, LAST and ALWAYS!!!!
