Can a passenger's lack of experience be the cause of a motorcycle accident?

Correct answer

Yes, especially if their movements unbalance the bike on a bend.

Yes. A passenger who does not know how to accompany the motorcycle’s movements may unbalance it, especially on bends, and contribute to an accident. Follow the rider’s movements without counteracting them or making sudden movements. The rider should explain how to travel and adapt riding to the passenger. Added weight calls for adaptation but does not by itself explain the risk due to inexperience; there is no basis here for claiming that this causes most accidents.
