What are the most important immediate actions after a moped accident in Sweden?

When do I legally have to report a moped accident in Sweden?

Even for minor incidents, reporting might be necessary for insurance purposes.

What basic first aid should a moped rider know?

Essential first aid includes knowing how to assess breathing and consciousness, how to stop severe bleeding using pressure, and how to place an unconscious person in the recovery position. Understanding how to manage shock is also important. Remember to always call for professional medical help immediately.

What are the key pre-ride checks for my moped?

Before each ride, you should conduct a walk-around check. Focus on your tires for correct pressure and tread depth, check that your brakes (both front and rear) are functioning correctly, and ensure all lights (headlight, taillight, indicators) are clean and working. Also, check the mirrors and horn.

Why is checking tires and brakes so important for moped safety?

Tires are your only contact with the road, so correct pressure and tread are vital for grip, especially in wet conditions or during braking. Properly functioning brakes are essential for safe stopping distances and control. Neglecting these can lead to loss of control, skidding, or accidents.

Can I get questions about vehicle maintenance on the Swedish AM theory test?

Yes, the Swedish theory exam for category AM includes questions related to vehicle safety and maintenance. Understanding how to perform basic checks and the importance of vehicle condition is part of being a responsible and safe rider, and therefore tested.
