Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, as long as they are over seven years old and the driver is their guardian or an authorized person.

Yes, as an exception. From age 7, a child may ride as a passenger on a motorcycle if their father, mother, guardian, or an adult authorized by them is driving. With any other driver, the child must be at least 12. They must always wear an approved helmet and sit astride the seat behind the driver, like the child in the image.
