Correct answer
Yes, both the driver and the passenger must wear a helmet.
Yes, both must wear an approved, properly fastened helmet under Article 118.1. It reduces injury risk but does not guarantee no harm. The protective-structure exception also requires seat belts and documentation; this case does not meet it. From 1 October 2026, closed footwear covering the whole foot is also required, and protective gloves on interurban roads, for these categories where the exception does not apply.
