Moped riders required to wear a helmet<\/p>\n
As of January 1, 2023, wearing a helmet on a light moped is mandatory. Any passengers must also wear a helmet from that date onwards. This obligation has been introduced to reduce the number of casualties among light moped riders, as they are particularly vulnerable in traffic.<\/p>\n
With the 'Helmet on' campaign, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management reminds moped riders and their passengers of the helmet requirement as of January, and that otherwise they risk a fine of \u20ac100.00.<\/p>\n
As of January 1, 2023, the moped theory exams at the CBR comply with the new legislation. Some exam questions have been adjusted. They have also updated over 150 images used in the theory exams for cars, motorcycles, and mopeds to align with the helmet requirement as of January 1, 2023. The CBR administers approximately 7,000 theory exams and 3,500 practical exams for mopeds monthly.<\/p>\n
Moped riders are vulnerable in traffic. To reduce the number of (fatal) casualties among moped riders, it is mandatory as of January 1, 2023, for both the driver and passenger to wear an approved helmet. The moped may travel at a maximum speed of 25 km per hour, rides on the bicycle path, and can be recognized by a blue license plate.<\/p>\n
Wear a helmet on your moped from January 1st. This is better for your own safety (and that of your passenger) and you avoid a fine of \u20ac100.<\/p>\n
