Question 7648
If you ride a motorcycle outside a built-up area, are you required to wear gloves?
- Yes, their use is required on all types of roads.
- Yes, even in summer, to protect your hands in case of a fall.
- No, because they can make riding more difficult.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, even in summer, to protect your hands in case of a fall.
Yes. As a rule, motorcycle riders and passengers must wear protective gloves on roads outside built-up areas, even in hot weather. In a fall, they protect your hands and wrists from scraping against the asphalt. They are not required on urban roads, though you should wear them.
