Is it permitted to transport children under 12 years of age as passengers on a motorcycle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No, as a general rule. The General Traffic Regulations state that the minimum age to travel as a passenger on a motorcycle or moped is 12 years old. However, there is an important exception: children over 7 years old may travel as passengers if the driver is their parent, legal guardian, or an authorized adult. Regardless of age (provided it is permitted), the following conditions must be met: Wear an approved helmet of the correct size. Sit astride the seat (straddling) with feet resting on the lateral footpegs. The seat must be behind the driver (never between the driver and the handlebars).
