BDifficulty 2/5

May a child over seven and under twelve travel on the rear passenger seat of a motorcycle authorised to carry a passenger?

Correct answer

Yes, under the parent, guardian or authorised-adult exception, meeting the other requirements.

Yes, exceptionally, if the rider is a parent, guardian or an adult authorised by them. The child must wear a suitable helmet and meet the other applicable protective requirements, sit astride behind the rider and keep their feet on the side footrests. Adult authorisation does not remove those requirements or allow carrying any child under seven.
