Answer 1

You'll have to give better location.  I know of a Cook County IL (near DuPage County) and also a Cook County Texas.  Also one in Minnesota I think.  Where are you really?

If you're in IL:

Moped drivers must have a valid driver's license.

LAWS: Moped drivers must obey all signs, signals and traffic laws. They also must obey most bicycle laws.

SPEED: A moped may not go over 30 miles per hour.

PASSENGERS: Moped drivers may carry a passenger only when the moped is made for two people. Equipment must include a passenger seat and a passenger footrest.

EQUIPMENT: If a moped is driven at night, it must have a headlight visible from at least 500 ft. A moped must also have a red reflector on the rear visible from at least 100 to 600 ft.
