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 or the 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.
This list is a snippet of our full Terms & Conditions. Please make sure you read and comply with all our Terms & Conditions, and respect the local laws to ensure you’re following all the rules – this way, you avoid the risk of being charged both legal and administrative fines.
