BASIC SAFETY RULES
To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in
possession of all the requirements pre-
scribed by law (driving licence, minimum
age, psychophysical ability, insurance,
state taxes, vehicle registration, number
plate, etc.).
Gradually get to know the vehicle by driv-
ing it first in areas with low traffic and/or pri-
vate areas.
The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or
psychotropic substances notably increases
the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysi-
cal conditions and fit for driving and pay
particular attention to physical weariness
and drowsiness.
Most road accidents are caused by the
driver»s lack of experience.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,
in any case, make sure that the driver has
all the requirements for driving.
Rigorously observe all road signs and na-
tional and local road regulations.
Avoid abrupt movements that can be dan-
gerous for yourself and other people (for
example: rearing up on the back wheel,
speeding, etc.), and give due consideration
to the road surface, visibility and other driv-
ing conditions. Avoid obstacles that could damage the ve-
hicle or make you lose control.
Avoid riding in the slipstream created by
preceding vehicles in order to increase
your speed.
!
WARNING
Always keep both hands on the handle-
bars and both feet on the footboard (or
on the footrests), in the correct driving
posture.
Avoid standing up or stretching your
limbs while driving.
