Is it permitted to carry a child positioned between the handlebars and the rider on a motorcycle?

Correct answer

No.

It is not permitted to carry a child positioned between the handlebars and the rider on a motorcycle. The regulations on carrying passengers on motorcycles and mopeds are very clear on this point. They establish that passengers must always occupy the seat behind the rider. Placing a passenger between the rider and the handlebars is contrary to these rules. In addition, the regulations specify that passengers must be over 12 years old, although there is an exception for children over 7 who travel in vehicles driven by their parents, guardians or authorised persons. These passengers must also sit astride the vehicle with their feet resting on the side footrests.
