BDifficulty 2/5

On a conventional motorcycle without a protective structure or seatbelt, what does the educational phrase “your body is the bodywork” refer to?

Correct answer

The rider's body.

The rider’s body is highly exposed in a fall or collision: this is a vulnerability metaphor, not a technical definition of bodywork. As at 7 October 2026, article 118 requires, in this case, a properly fastened helmet approved under UN Regulation No. 22; protective gloves on interurban roads; and closed footwear covering the whole foot on all roads, including for the passenger. Suitable jacket, trousers and armour add protection. No equipment eliminates every risk.
