Is it permitted for a passenger to travel situated between the driver and the handlebars of a motorcycle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly prohibited. Traffic regulations establish that, on motorcycles and mopeds, the passenger must always sit behind the rider. Placing a person between the rider and the handlebars is very dangerous because it blocks proper vision, limits the freedom of arm movement needed to handle the steering and destabilizes the vehicle. This prohibition applies without exceptions, whether the trip is short or the passenger is a minor.
