Is an adult driver allowed to transport a minor of 10 years old on their motorcycle who is neither their child nor their ward?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations in Spain, the general rule prohibits transporting children under 12 years old as passengers on motorcycles. However, there is an important exception: children over 7 years old may ride on a motorcycle provided that the driver is their parent, mother, legal guardian, or an adult authorized by them. In this case, since the child is 10 years old (meeting the requirement of being over 7) and the driver is not their parent or guardian, the correct answer is that they can carry them, but 'Only with authorization from the parents or guardian.' Wearing a certified helmet is mandatory, but it is not the sole legal condition that enables the age exception.
