Correct answer

The regulations state that riders of motorcycles, mopeds and similar vehicles may ride without a helmet if their vehicle has a protective structure and seat belts and this is recorded on its ITV card. This exemption applies because the rider is protected by other safety measures, so the correct answer is the one about the protective structure and seat belt.
