Question 4199

The minimum age to ride as a passenger on a motorcycle or moped is...

  1. Three years old, but always with an additional seat.
  2. 12 years old and, exceptionally, over 7 years old if the motorcycle or moped is driven by the father, mother, or guardian.
  3. Always 12 years old.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 12 years old and, exceptionally, over 7 years old if the motorcycle or moped is driven by the father, mother, or guardian.

As a general rule, a passenger on a motorcycle or moped must be at least 12 years old. As an exception, a child age 7 or older may ride behind the rider if the rider is their father, mother, guardian, or an adult authorized by them. That is why "always 12 years old" is incorrect, and no 3-year-old may ride as a passenger.
