What should you do if you see a hazard while riding?

When encountering a hazard while riding, the best course of action is to slow down and proceed with caution. This approach allows you to maintain better control of your moped and gives you more time to assess the situation. By reducing your speed, you can react more effectively to any unexpected obstacles, road conditions, or other vehicles that may pose a risk.

Additionally, slowing down increases your reaction time, allowing you to evaluate the hazard more thoroughly and make informed decisions about your next moves. This is especially important as it helps you to avoid potential accidents or falls, maintaining your safety and that of others on the road.

On the other hand, accelerating to quickly pass a hazard could lead to losing control, especially if the situation changes rapidly. Ignoring the hazard altogether can lead to dangerous outcomes, as well as making sudden lane changes can create more hazards rather than resolving them, potentially putting you and other road users at risk.
