Question 3897

When may law enforcement officers responsible for traffic enforcement prohibit a motorcycle from being driven further?

  1. When its load protrudes more than 0.15 meters from the rear.
  2. Whenever its driver is under 18 years of age.
  3. When its driver is not wearing a protective helmet.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When its driver is not wearing a protective helmet.

An officer may prohibit a motorcycle from being driven further if the rider or passenger is not wearing the required helmet. The prohibition is lifted when the person who was not wearing a helmet puts one on. In the image, the motorcycle rider is not wearing a helmet. Being under 18 is not, by itself, a reason to prevent the motorcycle from being driven further.
