because car rentals are not allowed, tourists might decide to get around by moped or scooter
 
the Bermudian speed limit with 20 mph sounds really cosy; but it is too slow for most of the local car- and moped-drivers
 
although the roads are often rough-surface, narrow and winding;
so it´s really an adventure to ride a scooter on the left-hand side
 
therefore it´s useful to be marked as tourists with the special helmets, which help more against a sun stroke than something else
