AMDifficulty 3/5

A parent carries their eight-year-old child as a passenger on a two-wheeled moped authorised to carry one. Wearing a helmet and able to use the footrests, how must the child sit?

Correct answer

Astraddle behind the rider, with feet on the footrests.

Astraddle the passenger seat behind the rider, with feet on the footrests. The general rule allows passengers older than twelve; exceptionally, children older than seven may travel with a parent, guardian or authorised adult, subject to safety requirements. The vehicle must be authorised to carry a passenger. Sitting in front of the rider or sideways is not allowed.
