Question 5287
If a motorcycle passenger is not wearing a protective helmet, responsibility lies with the...
- passenger.
- driver.
- vehicle owner.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: driver.
The rider is responsible. As a general rule, the person who commits a violation is responsible for it. However, if a motorcycle passenger is not wearing the required helmet, the rider is responsible for the violation. In a car, it is different: an adult passenger who is not wearing a seat belt is personally responsible. In the image, the passenger is not wearing a helmet.
