Correct answer
- ACuando su conductor no lleve puesto el casco.When its rider is not wearing a helmet.
Under Article 118.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by RD 518/2026, motorcycle riders and passengers must wear an approved helmet that meets UNECE Regulation R22, properly fastened, on all types of road. If the rider is not wearing one, officers can immobilise the motorcycle; if it is the passenger, it is enough for the passenger to get off.
