When riding a moped in the presence of snow or patches of ice on the roadway:

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When snow that has accumulated on the road surface has been there for some time, has been driven over by vehicles and has become compacted or turned to ice, it behaves almost like ice. In that state, tire grip is greatly reduced and the danger of skidding and falling increases, something especially critical on a two-wheeled vehicle such as the moped. The claim that it is mandatory to always turn on the low beam regardless of visibility is false: lighting is required because of visibility conditions (General Traffic Regulations, Article 106(1), which includes snowfall) and not merely because of snow or ice on the ground. Braking hard, even at intervals, is also a dangerous mistake: on slippery surfaces you must brake gently and early to avoid locking the wheels.
