Correct answer

  • AEl conductor debe usar casco y es el responsable de que el pasajero lo use.The rider must wear a helmet and is responsible for making sure the passenger wears one.

Both the rider and the passenger of a motorcycle must wear an approved helmet, fastened. In addition, the Traffic Law makes the rider responsible for the passenger wearing one, so the rider is liable if the passenger rides without it.
