Section: 第６節 その他注意しなければならないこと ２ ペダル付き原動機付自転車
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
I wanted to ride on the sidewalk, so I stopped the motor of my pedal-equipped moped and rode using the pedals. In this case, I am treated as a pedestrian.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that even when riding a pedal-equipped moped using the pedals without operating the motor, it is still treated as operating a motor vehicle or general moped. Therefore, you are not treated as a pedestrian.

## Driving school curriculum
Stage 1 – Topic 1: Driver's mindset

## Source passage (Rules of the Road)
Rules of the Road, Ch.8 §6 (Other precautions) — Pedal-equipped mopeds (mofa with pedals) follow moped rules when motor-driven and bicycle rules when pedal-only — switching modes correctly is the rider's responsibility. Always confirm the operating mode before each maneuver.
