May an adult ride a motorcycle carrying a 10-year-old child as a passenger if the adult is not the child's father, mother, or legal guardian?

  1. Only if authorized by one of them.
  2. No.
  3. Yes, provided the child wears an approved helmet.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only if authorized by one of them.

Yes, if the child's father, mother, or guardian authorizes the adult. At age 10, a child may ride as a passenger on a motorcycle with them or with an adult they authorize. Without that authorization, the adult must not carry the child, even if the child wears an approved helmet.
