Lighting

Lighting on a scooter is important for safety. Scooters have lights at the front and back. The front lights help you to see and be seen at night. The rear lights ensure that other people can see you when you brake. It is important to ensure that your lighting is working properly and is adjusted correctly, so you can ride safely, especially in the dark. It is also necessary to turn on your lights when it is dark or when it is raining, to improve visibility and prevent accidents.

Which Lighting is Required on a Scooter?

You must have specific lighting on a scooter to drive safely and to comply with the law:

- Headlight: At the front of your scooter, you must have a white headlight. This light helps you to see in the dark.

- Rear light: At the back of your scooter, you must have a red rear light. The light comes on when you brake, so others know you are stopping.

- Indicators: To indicate that you are changing direction, you must have orange indicators at the front and back of your scooter.

- License plate light: A small light that illuminates your license plate so it is visible in the dark.

Is license plate lighting mandatory on a scooter?

It helps you comply with the law and allows others to see your license plate. Make sure your license plate light always works.
