Can an officer immobilize a moped if the rider is not wearing an approved helmet?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
**Mopeds** are two- or three-wheeled vehicles that require both the driver and the passenger to wear a **safety helmet** that is properly fastened and adjusted to the head. This is crucial because these vehicles are more fragile, and their occupants are more likely to suffer injuries in the event of an accident.
The helmet is a **passive safety element** that protects the head from blows and serious injuries. To be effective, it must be **approved**, which means it has passed quality and safety tests. An approved helmet has a label certifying it as safe.
If a moped driver does not wear an approved helmet, a traffic officer has the authority to **immobilize the vehicle**. This is because failing to comply with this rule puts the safety of the driver and the passenger at risk.
