What may limit your field of vision when you ride a moped?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Incorrectly-fitted glasses and helmet.
Explanation
In the photo a rider in a full-face helmet is sitting on a scooter at the entry to a road, with his head turned to the side. The field of view of a moped rider can be limited by badly fitted glasses and helmet - answer A.
A helmet that is too big moves on the head and covers the eyes, one that is too small presses and distracts, and a helmet with a narrow visor or a scratched, tinted visor limits vision to the sides and after dark. Similarly, glasses with thick frames cover the sides of the field of view, and unsuitable lenses distort the image or mist up. The field of view is important at every junction, because danger often comes from the side. A badly chosen moped (answer B) may be uncomfortable, but it does not cover your eyes. Overalls (answer C) limit movement, not vision. When choosing a helmet, check that you can see well to the sides and that there are no blind areas when you wear glasses.
