Explanation
Under Article 118.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), riders and passengers of motorcycles and mopeds must wear a properly fastened protective helmet on all types of road. Not wearing one exposes them to serious head injuries and is one of the main causes of death in these accidents.
