Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 12(1)) require the passenger of a moped to sit astride, with their feet resting on the side footrests and on the seat behind the driver. As a general rule they must be over twelve years old, but exceptionally those over seven may travel if the driver is their father, mother, legal guardian or an adult authorized by them, with an approved protective helmet and meeting those same positioning conditions (Article 12(2)). The passenger must never sit between the driver and the handlebars, nor travel sitting sideways, because the regulations require sitting astride and occupying the seat behind. Riders and passengers of mopeds may continue to use certified helmets during the transitional regime, until 1 October 2027; after that, an approved helmet in accordance with UNECE Regulation R22 is required.
