In what way must the rider of a moped watch the traffic environment while riding?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When riding a moped, the surroundings must be scanned constantly, alternating the gaze between the road ahead, the sides and the rearview mirrors, in order to detect any unforeseen event or the presence of other users in advance. Turning the body and head backward to watch those following is dangerous, because it destabilizes the moped's path and you lose sight of what is happening ahead. Keeping the gaze fixed ahead is not correct either: it creates a tunnel effect that prevents you from noticing vehicles joining the road, pedestrians or vehicles approaching from the sides or from behind.
