Karimen Drill

A rider of a general motorized bicycle (moped) only needs to "make an effort" to wear a helmet, so riding without one is not a violation.

一般原動機付自転車(原付)の運転者は、ヘルメットをかぶるよう努めればよく、かぶらなくても違反ではない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

For general mopeds the law states you must not ride without a helmet. It is a strict duty, not an effort-based one.

Original text

一般原動機付自転車の運転者は、乗車用ヘルメットをかぶらないで一般原動機付自転車を運転してはならない。
