A2Difficulty 3/5

On a motorcycle without a sidecar or protective enclosure, how must the passenger ride on their seat?

Correct answer

Astride the seat, with their feet resting on the side footrests, whether inside or outside built-up areas.

The passenger must sit on the seat behind the rider, astride it, with their feet on the side footrests, both inside and outside built-up areas. They must wear an approved helmet and the motorcycle must be authorised to carry a passenger. This position helps maintain stability; avoid sudden movements and adapt your riding to the extra weight.
