Question 7426

On motorcycles, carried luggage must be placed so that...

  1. it does not stick out beyond the rear.
  2. it does not stick out beyond the sides of the vehicle.
  3. it does not compromise the stability of the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: it does not compromise the stability of the vehicle.

On a motorcycle, luggage must be positioned and secured so that it does not compromise stability, because a loose or off-center bag can throw you off balance. It may protrude a little: up to 0.25 meters at the rear and up to 0.50 meters on each side of the longitudinal axis. That is why the options prohibiting any overhang are wrong.
