What must a passenger on your motorcycle do?
- A.Wear a DOT-compliant helmet, keep feet on the footrests, and lean with you in turns
- B.Wear any hat instead of a helmet
- C.Hold onto your arms to steer with you
- D.Stand on the footrests in turns
Correct answer
A. Wear a DOT-compliant helmet, keep feet on the footrests, and lean with you in turns
Why
Passengers are subject to the same helmet law as riders and should keep their feet on the footrests at all times. Leaning with the rider, rather than against the turn, keeps the motorcycle predictable.
