For motorcycle riders and passengers, is the clothing they wear important?
Traffic accidents
Explanation
Clothing is **fundamental** for motorcycle drivers and passengers because their bodies are directly exposed to weather conditions and potential accidents. Unlike cars, motorcycles do not have a **bodywork** to protect the driver, which increases the risk of injuries in the event of an accident.
- It is important to wear a **leather suit** or a similar material, well-fitted to the body, to offer additional protection.
- **Leather gloves** with protection and **strong boots** that support the foot and ankle are essential to protect the extremities.
- Wearing **bright and striking colors** helps make the driver more visible to other road users, reducing the risk of accidents.
Additionally, two or three-wheeled vehicles are less visible and more fragile than other cars, which increases the likelihood of injuries. Therefore, the use of a well-fastened **safety helmet** is mandatory and complements the protection offered by appropriate clothing.
