BASIC SAFETY RULES
To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in
possession of all the requirements prescribed
by law (driving licence, minimum age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state taxes,
vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).
Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving
it first in areas with low traffic and/or private
areas.
The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or
psychotropic substances notably increases
the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysical
conditions and fit for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.
Most road accidents are caused by the driver’s lack of experience.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,
in any case, make sure that the driver has
all the requirements for driving.

the following obligations for the owner:
– new homologation;
– new registration;
– driving license.
Further, said modifications cause the loss of
the insurance cover, since insurance policies expressly prohibit to make technical
changes aimed at increasing the vehicle
performance levels.
For the reasons stated above, the failure to
comply with the tampering prohibition is
punished by law with appropriate sanctions
(including the confiscation of the vehicle),
which, according to the case, can be combined with the sanctions provided for not
using the crash helmet and/or the number
plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations
(ownership tax) and with penal sanctions
provided for using the vehicle without driving license.

local regulations as to the vehicle equipment
be always observed.
In particular, avoid making any technical
changes aimed at increasing the speed of
the vehicle or that may alter the original specifications of the vehicle itself.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.

CLOTHING
Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is homologated, in good shape, of the right size
and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will
make yourself more visible to the other drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of being
knocked down, and you will be more protected in case of fall.
This clothing should be very tight-fitting and
fastened at the wrists and ankles.
Strings, belts and ties should not be hanging loose; prevent these and other objects
from interfering with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms.
