Learner riders must wear an approved high-visibility (hi-vis) vest or jacket when riding. This makes it easier for other road users to see you, reducing the risk of a crash.
You can purchase an approved hi-vis vest or jacket from motorcycle retailers or workwear stores.

Learner and provisional riders (P1 and P2) must wear approved protective gloves when riding. Gloves reduce the risk of hand injuries if you fall or crash.
Only approved gloves can be worn and must be labelled or marked by the manufacturer as complying with ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐:๐๐๐๐.
