Explanation
A motorcycle does not give its riders the structural protection of a car, so its accidents often have fatal consequences. That is why Article 118.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026) requires riders and passengers to wear an approved helmet, protective gloves on roads outside built-up areas, and closed footwear.
