Safety Guidelines
4
Scooter Safety
We recommend that all riders take a certified
rider training course. New riders should always
start with a basic course, and even experienced
riders will find an advanced course beneficial.
The Motorcycle and Moped Industry Council
(MMIC) offers information about rider training
on their website (www.mmic.ca). For local
information and requirements, or to find a list
of approved training providers, riders should
check with their provincial transportation
authority.
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.
Make yourself more visible, especially at night,
by wearing bright reflective clothing,
positioning yourself so other drivers can see
you, signaling before turning or changing lanes,
and using your horn when necessary.
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgment and ride safely.
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one
alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional
drink. Don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your
friends drink and ride either.
