Protective Gear for Motorcyclists

This rule is a legal requirement
It is also advisable to wear eye protectors, which MUST comply with the Regulations. Scratched or poorly fitting eye protectors can limit your view when riding, particularly in bright sunshine and the hours of darkness. Consider wearing ear protection. Strong boots, gloves and suitable clothing may help to protect you if you are involved in a collision.

💡Example

Wearing proper eye protection is crucial for motorcyclists and it should meet legal standards. For instance, if you're riding on a sunny day, well-fitting sunglasses that comply with regulations will help you see clearly and protect your eyes from debris, while strong boots and gloves can provide additional safety in case of a fall.
