SCOOTER SAFETY TIPS
ALWAYS use a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads.
This is a small investment - only about $35 - and can
instantly eliminate almost two-thirds of possible scooter
accidents, including most of the most serious ones. In many
states, provinces and regions throughout the world, these are
required by law! Children under eight should always be
supervised when using scooters.
Almost a third of all scooter and
skateboard related injuries and accidents involve
children under the age of eight. As everyone knows, scooters
are capable of travelling very quickly, and children that age
do not always have the judgement or coordination to handle
these high speeds. Use scooters in a safe places
like dropin ramps and half pipes.
Cars and scooters, and BMX and
skateboards don't mix, especially for younger riders.
Smooth, paved surfaces are best - avoid bumpy, uneven, wet or
rocky ones. Schoolyards, parks, paved trails are examples of
safe places to "scoot"! And, on sidewalks, be
especially careful for pedestrians, who always have the right
of way. Always observe the basic rules of the road anywhere
you use scooters.
As scooters can travel as fast as many other types of
vehicles, motorized and non-motorized, they too must observe
the rules of the road. These include:
-
Stop
at every stop sign. Look left, right, and left again before
proceeding.
-
Stop
at the end of the driveway. Look left, right, and left
before entering the street.
-
Use
proper hand signals.
-
Obey
traffic signs and signals.
-
Do
not ride a scooter at night.
When
it is dark out, there are just too many things that can
easily upset your balance and cause you to fall. Therefore,
no one should ride scooters at night.
