Be visible and predictable

It might be a good idea toopt for a neon-colored helmet, jacket or backpack to be as visible as possible. As with any means of transport, you must clearly indicate your intentions to other usersespecially before a maneuver or a change of direction.

Pay attention to blind spots

As they are less bulky than cars, themopeds are generally less visible on the road and often end up in the blind spot of other vehicles. Moreover, in regarding 80% of cases, drivers involved in an accident with a moped declare that they did not see it.

For the AWSR, it is essential to educate motorists to carefully check blind spots to ensure that no moped is approaching, especially when opening the door or performing a manoeuvre. It is sometimes better to wait a bit to let a moped rider pass, rather than wanting to pass quickly and thus putting him in danger.
