Is it mandatory for PMVs to have an audible warning device (a bell)?
Traffic rules
Explanation
Obligation to have a bell and audible warning device on PMVs
All **personal mobility vehicles (PMVs)** must be fitted with an **audible warning device**, that is, a **bell** or similar device that makes a sound to **warn other people**.
It does not matter how you use the PMV:
- **Personal** use (leisure, getting around the city).
- **Professional** use (for example, delivery riders).
In addition, when the PMV is used for **delivery** and has **reverse gear**, when it is engaged an **intermittent audible warning** (a repeated beeping sound) must be emitted to warn of the manoeuvre.
In summary:
- **Bell or audible warning device: always mandatory.**
- **Audible warning when engaging reverse gear: mandatory on delivery PMVs with this function.**
