To keep you and your city safe, all Dott riders should abide by the following when riding:

- **Be 18+ years old.**
- **Stick to one person per vehicle.**
- **Stay focused**– don’t wear headphones, look at your phone, or do anything else that could distract you from the traffic at hand.
- **Follow local traffic rules,** and stay aware of cars, bikes, and pedestrians.
- **Never ride or park on sidewalks** to keep them safe for pedestrians.
- **Park according to the rules in your city.** Check our in-app [Map guide](https://app.ridedott.com/mapGuide) or the [Parking guidelines](https://ridedott.elevio.help/en/articles/198-general-parking-guidelines) section for the full details.
- **Don’t drink and ride.**
- **Wear reflective gear** when riding at night and in low visibility (e.g. foggy weather).
- **Remember to wear a helmet.** Even though it isn’t required by law in some countries, it's a key safety measure everywhere. **Please note that you’re not insured for head trauma if you're not wearing a helmet.**
