Hello, dear motorcycle lovers!
Today we will tell you how to ride a scooter to feel confident on the road. What rules must be followed to protect yourself and your passengers as much as possible while driving? If you have a scooter, then this article will definitely be useful to you.
Road safety is the most important thing for all road users.
While modern cars have airbags, motorcycles and scooters do not have this option. We will tell you how to ride a scooter to avoid troubles on the road. After all, there are a number of its own features, taking into account which you will drive safely and not interfere with other road users.
What is the penalty for riding a moped without a license?
/ /
A moped is an affordable, relatively inexpensive means of transportation that is convenient and easy to drive. This is why mopeds are very popular. But, like other vehicles, driving a moped requires a license, which can be obtained from the age of 16.
You need to approach this issue very responsibly, because driving without a license can have serious consequences. First, let’s determine exactly what rights a moped driver, who is a full participant in traffic on the roads, should have.
If the vehicle’s engine has a power of up to 50 cubic meters, and its maximum speed is 50 kilometers per hour, it is possible to obtain a license of a special category - “M”.
You can get a license from the age of 16. If you already have rights of other categories, for example, “B” or “C”, training for category “M” is not mandatory.
Every day, many violations of traffic rules are recorded on the roads, one of the most common among them is the lack of licenses for vehicle drivers.
Depending on the circumstances, fines for driving a moped without a driver’s license may vary, but on average they range from 800 rubles to 15 thousand.
Let's consider what responsibility is provided in different situations.
If the driver got behind the wheel, but left his license at home, then if stopped, the inspector will issue a warning or a minimum fine, which is 800 rubles. In addition, even after issuing a fine, the driver will not be able to continue driving until one of his friends, at his request, brings the forgotten ID within half an hour.
In another case, the moped may be sent to a special parking lot, and it will have to be picked up from there.

Seasonality and weather conditions
It is better to use a scooter in the warm season, when there is a stable daily above-zero temperature outside. This is, of course, in summer, late spring and early autumn. During this period, riding two-wheelers is a pleasure. But if it rains, it is better to refrain from traveling for the following reasons:
- bad visibility
- the driver is forced to slow down and, as a result, may become a nuisance on the road
- the road becomes slippery and the scooter often skids, especially when braking
Therefore, in rainy weather it is better to travel by car or public transport.
For safety reasons, we also do not recommend riding a scooter in winter.
It is technically not suitable for this time of year. In the cold it is difficult to maintain balance on ice, and the plastic on the scooter becomes brittle and even with a slight impact breaks easily. We advise you to forget about the scooter during the winter period.
Equipment
A scooter, unlike a car, does not have glass or a body, which can partially protect the driver from injury in the event of an emergency. For this reason, for safety reasons, scooter riders and passengers should not ride on the road with their helmets unfastened. A helmet is required, but other equipment is at your discretion. Whatever is comfortable, you can ride in, in any casual clothes and shoes. You can even do without motorcycle glasses if you ride at speeds up to 40 km/h. But it is advisable to always wear gloves, even if they are cotton construction gloves, 20 rubles each. For driving in twilight and darkness, it is advisable to have reflective elements on clothing.

Accordingly, you can drive any scooter from the age of sixteen. You can ride a scooter on the road in one row on the right side of the roadway.
Moreover, he can move not only within the boundaries of the far right lane. The rules for a moped allow you to maneuver due to public transport, which is at a stop.
