Is the rider of a motorcycle carrying a passenger on the rear seat required to wear a helmet?

Correct answer

Yes, and they are responsible if the passenger does not wear one.

Unlike what happens in cars, for example, in the case of a motorcycle, the rider is solely responsible for ensuring that both they and the passenger accompanying them wear an approved helmet correctly fastened. If the passenger refuses to wear the helmet, the rider will be responsible. For this reason, if you are riding a motorcycle, you must never allow the passenger on the rear seat not to wear the safety helmet.
