4. DRIVING GEARS :

The right clothes and equipment are important for your safety and comfort, but they cannot protect you from everything.

Helmet

Every rider and pillion passengers must wear a helmet that fits and is done up. A helmet can prevent a serious head injury and keep you alive if it fits your head well and is done up. Make sure you buy a new helmet. Secondhand helmets may have damage you cannot see that can be dangerous if you crash. Get a bright-colored helmet that can be easily seen. If other road users can see you, even in poor light or bad weather, they can avoid you.

Eye and Face Protection

Your face and eyes need protection from the wind, sand, and stones. Visors or goggles give this protection. Scratched visors or goggles can blur and distort light at night and should be replaced.

Clothing
Motorcycle clothing and boots are designed to protect you from injury and help you to be seen. In the heat, synthetic textile-based jackets and pants are available that can be comfortable, cool and protect you, so you can concentrate and control your bike properly.

5. WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF CRASH

If you are involved in a crash there are certain things you must do. As soon as you are able, inform the police by calling 999. The traffic police will arrive and will evaluate the crash and will fill out an accident form. One copy of the crash form, the pink color will be given to the driver who caused the crash (at fault) and the green copy will be given to the other driver (not at fault). In all cases, you have to inform your rental company for the processing of insurance claims and to facilitate repairs (if necessary) to the vehicles involved. No repairs of any damaged vehicle may be undertaken without written permission. For severe crashes or for any other reason that may seem appropriate at that time, the traffic police may decide to take the license of the drivers involved.

IMPORTANT - If you were not involved in a crash and encountered the presence of a traffic accident on your way, avoid looking at the incident as it leads to obstruction of traffic, or may cause another accident.
