In what circumstance is a moped rider exempt from wearing the required protective helmet?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The rider and passenger of a moped must wear the appropriate regulation helmet properly fastened on all types of roads, urban ones too. Riders and passengers of mopeds may continue to use certified helmets during the transitional regime, until 1 October 2027; after that, an approved helmet in accordance with UNECE Regulation R22 is required. If the vehicle has a self-protection structure and seatbelts, and this is stated on its roadworthiness test (ITV) card or technical specifications certificate, its occupants are exempt from the helmet and must use the seatbelt. Neither riding in the city nor the heat is by itself an exemption.
