Wear reflective clothing so other motorists can see you in the dark. Wear a helmet to avoid serious head injury in the event of a crash or fall.
Obey posted speed limits. Never travel faster than the weather conditions or your skill level allow.
Reduce your speed on bumpy roads and try to avoid road hazards such as potholes. These hazards could cause you to lose control of your moped, according to GSMotorworks.com.
You will be traveling more slowly than much of the traffic around you. Check your mirrors every five to seven seconds to avoid problems with the traffic behind you.
Check with your local governing agency before you start riding your moped. Your state may have additional safety guidelines, rules and regulations for moped operators.
