A2Difficulty 2/5

You ride a motorcycle authorised to carry a passenger, and your ten-year-old child wears an approved helmet, sits behind you astride the seat and reaches the footrests. Does their age allow you to carry them?

Correct answer

Yes, also on interurban roads, provided those conditions are met.

Yes. The exception permits passengers over seven when the motorcycle is ridden by their parent, guardian or an adult authorised by them, provided the other passenger requirements are met. The child must wear an approved helmet and sit behind the rider, astride the seat with feet on the footrests; never between the rider and handlebars. The exception is not restricted to urban roads. Applicable road and vehicle restrictions must still be observed.
