Correct answer
Suitable protective equipment
Suitable, properly fitted protective equipment protects better than loose clothing or unstable footwear. Not every item is merely recommended. Article 118 requires closed footwear covering the whole foot on all roads and protective gloves on interurban roads, subject to the regulatory exemption for vehicles with a protective structure and seat belt. Appropriate protective jacket, trousers and footwear offer additional protection without eliminating injury risk.
