BDifficulty 2/5

Under the general rule in Article 12.1, excluding the family or authorised-adult exception, how old must a passenger seated behind the rider of a two-wheeled moped be?

Correct answer

Over twelve years old.

The general rule requires the passenger to be over twelve years old. The moped must be authorised to carry a passenger, who must sit astride, with feet on the footrests and behind the rider, complying with applicable protective-equipment rules. Article 12.2 exceptionally allows passengers over seven with their father, mother, guardian or an adult authorised by them, subject to the required conditions. Do not confuse the rear-seat passenger rule with a sidecar occupant.
