Question 5640

Can motorcycle riders ride side by side?

  1. Yes, in a column of two, keeping as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway.
  2. No, it is prohibited.
  3. Yes, in order to pass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.

No. A motorcycle is a motor vehicle (automóvil) and travels on the roadway, and motorcycles must ride single file. Only bicycles may ride two abreast, and keeping close to the right edge does not change that.
