BDifficulty 3/5

A motorcycle is authorised to carry a passenger. A ten-year-old child wears an approved helmet, sits astride behind the rider and reaches the footrests. What does an adult rider who is not their parent or guardian need?

Correct answer

Authorisation from the parent or guardian.

The rider needs authorisation from the child’s parent or guardian. Article 12.2 exceptionally allows children over seven to travel with such authorised adult riders, while retaining the helmet, seat and footrest requirements. Authorisation does not replace those requirements or allow the child to sit between rider and handlebars.
