Question 6527

On a motorcycle, is it allowed to carry a child between the handlebars and the driver?

  1. Yes, with the appropriate helmet for their size.
  2. No.
  3. Only when the driver is the father, the mother, or the guardian.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. No motorcycle passenger may ride between the handlebars and the rider, not even a child. Wearing a helmet or having their father drive makes no difference. In the image, the child is in that position, in front of the rider, and that is prohibited. The child must sit on the seat behind the rider.
