A1Difficulty 3/5

When refuelling your motorcycle, what precaution must you take?

Correct answer

Stop the engine and switch off the lights and mobile phone

Stop the engine and switch off lights and the mobile phone. Article 115 also requires electrical systems such as the radio and electromagnetic-radiation emitting devices to be switched off; the same precaution applies at self-service pumps. Stopping the engine while leaving dipped headlights on is insufficient. Always closing a fuel tap is not a general requirement for every motorcycle.
