Is a driver allowed to carry their 9-year-old son as a passenger on their moped?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, the passenger of a moped must be over twelve years old. However, the General Traffic Regulations (Article 12) provide an exception: those over seven years old may travel as passengers if the rider is their father, mother, guardian or an adult authorized by them, provided that they wear an approved protective helmet, that the passenger is listed in the registration certificate (licencia de circulación) or vehicle registration certificate of the moped and that they ride astride, behind the rider. That is why it is incorrect to prohibit the carrying of minors under twelve absolutely, because that does not take the exception into account; and it is also incorrect to limit it to urban roads, because the rule does not establish that restriction.
