Question 5809

Can children under twelve years of age ride as passengers on motorcycles?

  1. Yes, in any case.
  2. No, as a general rule.
  3. Yes, as long as they wear a properly approved helmet.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, as a general rule.

No, as a general rule. Motorcycle passengers must be at least 12 years old. The exception allows a child age 7 or older to ride if the rider is their father, mother, guardian, or an adult authorized by them. An approved helmet is required, but wearing one does not let you bypass the age requirement.
