What is the purpose of wearing gloves when riding a motorcycle?

Correct answer

Help reduce abrasions in a fall and protect against weather conditions.

Protective gloves help reduce hand injuries and abrasions in a fall and protect against cold and other weather conditions according to their design. They do not guarantee that every injury is prevented and remain useful in summer: choose gloves suited to the weather that allow proper control operation. They are mandatory on interurban roads in the cases covered by Article 118; an exception exists for documented vehicles with protective enclosures and seat belts.
