Correct answer
- CNo, como norma general.No, as a general rule.
As a general rule, children under twelve may not ride as passengers on mopeds and motorcycles. As an exception, children aged 7 and over may ride as passengers on these vehicles as long as the rider is their father, mother, legal guardian or an adult authorised by them. The following conditions must also be met: 1. The vehicle's registration documents must show that it is approved for more than one person. 2. The passenger must use the seat behind the rider. 3. The passenger must sit astride, with their feet on the side footrests. The passenger may never sit between the rider and the handlebar of the moped or motorcycle. 4. Both must wear approved protective helmets.
