Foreword - Safety First
Safety Helmet and
Clothing
Warning
When riding the motorcycle, both
rider and passenger must always
wear a motorcycle safety helmet,
eye protection, gloves, trousers
(close fitting around the knee and
ankle) and a brightly coloured
jacket. Brightly coloured clothing
will considerably increase a rider's
(or passenger's) visibility to other
operators
of
road
vehicles.
Although full protection is not
possible, wearing correct protective
clothing can reduce the risk of
injury when riding.
Warning
A safety helmet is one of the most
important pieces of riding gear as it
offers protection against head
injuries. You and your passenger's
helmet should be carefully chosen
and should fit you or your
passenger's head comfortably and
securely. A brightly coloured
helmet will increase a rider's (or
passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a
full face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to
protect your eyes.
