Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. Both the rider and the passenger must keep their helmets fastened on all roads and at any speed, whether they are full-face or open-face helmets. An unfastened helmet flies off in a fall and does not protect you. In the image, the motorcyclist has her helmet strap unfastened, which is not allowed.
