Question 6353
Can a motorcycle passenger's lack of experience be a cause of an accident?
- No.
- Yes, especially in curves.
- Yes, because of the increase in the vehicle's weight.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, especially in curves.
Yes. A passenger who has never ridden on a motorcycle can upset its balance, especially in curves, by stiffening up or leaning the opposite way. Before setting off, explain that they should lean with you and avoid sudden movements. Their weight increases the braking distance, but that has nothing to do with their experience.
