How must a passenger on a motorcycle or moped position their feet to ride safely?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish that the passenger must ride sitting astride with their feet resting on the side footrests. It is mandatory to use them to ensure the balance of the vehicle and the physical safety of the passenger. Letting the feet hang loose increases the risk of injury from the asphalt or the wheel, and placing them on the tank destabilizes the motorcycle.
