Which TWO of the following are correct rules that a rider of a personal mobility device (such as an electric kick scooter) must follow? Select TWO
Riders of personal mobility devices have both a duty to wear a helmet and a duty to use lights at night (Article 50(4) and (9) of the Road Traffic Act). Check whether the article really contains any "it's fine in this kind of place" exception, such as a bicycle track or a well-lit road.
Answer: ②, ④
Explanation
Under Article 50(4) of the Road Traffic Act, riders of bicycles and personal mobility devices must wear a helmet meeting the standard in Article 32(2) of the Enforcement Rule on bicycle tracks and on roads under the Road Act, so a bicycle track is no exception. Under paragraph 9, when traveling on the road at night they must turn on the headlight and tail light or wear a light-emitting device such as a reflective band. Bright streetlights do not exempt them from this duty.
