Is it allowed for the passenger on a moped to ride between the rider and the handlebars?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On mopeds the passenger must ride astride, with their feet on the side footrests, on the seat behind the rider and provided that this is stated in the vehicle registration certificate or registration certificate (licencia de circulación) (General Traffic Regulations, Article 12(1)). The passenger must not be placed between the rider and the handlebars under any circumstances, because that interferes with handling the steering and limits visibility. That is why it is false that this position is accepted for a child under seven: the prohibition applies to any passenger, whatever their age, including those over seven who travel under the exception (with their father, mother, guardian or an authorized adult), who must also ride on the seat behind. Nor does the registration certificate authorize that position: it only certifies that the vehicle may carry a passenger and does not change the rules on positioning.
