Your state department of motor vehicles (DMV), or the city or county where it will be used, may regulate the use of
devices like the SCOOT - N - GO™. Some states may require a driver's license or minimum age to use the SCOOT - N -
GO™, or require the SCOOT - N - GO™ to be registered or licensed or require some additional type of equipment
like a brighter headlight. Please check with your state DMV or local municipality on requirements for using the
SCOOT - N - GO™. They can be located in the phonebook. State DMV offices can also be located on the Internet at
such sites as the following www.dmv.org or www.statehousegirls.net/agencies/dmv.
If your state or municipality allows the SCOOT - N - GO™ to be used on vehicle roadways please make sure you are
familiar with all traffic laws as set forth by your state DMV, such as yielding to pedestrians and other motorists,
signaling, riding as far to the right edge of the roadway as possible, obeying traffic signs etc. Your state DMV can
provide you with materials setting forth these traffic laws.
In addition to those traffic laws abide by the following general principals:
1. You are sharing the road or the path with others -- motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect their rights,
and be tolerant if they infringe on yours.
2. Ride defensively.
3. Look ahead of where you're going, and be ready to avoid:
* Vehicles slowing or turning in front of you, entering the road or your lane ahead of you, or coming up behind you.
* Parked car doors opening in front of you.
* Pedestrians stepping out in front of you.
* Children or dogs playing near the road.
* Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk construction, debris and other obstructions
that could cause you to swerve into traffic, catch your wheel or otherwise cause you to lose control and have an accident.
* The many other hazards and distractions which can occur while using the SCOOT - N - GO™ during a ride.
4. Ride on the right side of the road, in the same direction as vehicle traffic and as close to the edge of the road as possible.
5. Stop at stop signs and traffic lights; slow down and look both ways at street intersections. Remember that the
SCOOT - N - GO™ will always lose in a collision with a motor vehicle, so be prepared to yield
even if you have the right of way.
6. Use hand signals for turning and stopping. Learn the local vehicle code for the correct signals.
7. Don't weave through traffic or make any moves that may surprise people with whom you are sharing the road.
