Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The protective helmet has an essential dual function: it protects the head in case of impact (passive safety) and helps the rider be seen by other road users (preventive active safety). Since mopeds are small and easily go unnoticed, wearing a helmet in light colors (such as white or fluorescent yellow), vivid colors or with reflective inserts creates an immediate contrast with the asphalt and the surroundings. By contrast, black, dark or matte helmets blend the rider into the roadway and notably reduce visibility, increasing the risk of being hit from behind or of a collision.
