Mopeds are two-wheeled vehicles that, like motorcycles, are less visible, less stable, and more fragile than other types of vehicles. This means that their drivers and passengers are at a higher risk of injury in the event of an accident. For this reason, it is **mandatory** for both drivers and passengers of mopeds to wear a **protective helmet** that is properly fastened and adjusted to the head, even when traveling on urban roads.

The use of a helmet is crucial because accidents involving mopeds, especially in urban areas, can have more severe consequences if people are not wearing one. Frontal and side collisions are common, and the helmet helps protect the head, reducing the risk of severe injuries.

Therefore, whenever you drive or ride on a moped, you must wear a helmet to ensure your safety and comply with current regulations.
