Question 1585 in the bank

How should an additional passenger sit on a motorcycle?

  1. The passenger should sit with both legs on the right side of the motorcycle.
  2. The passenger should sit with both legs on the left side of the motorcycle.
  3. Correct answer: The passenger should sit astride the motorcycle with his feet supported by the foot pedals..
  4. The passenger can sit on the motorcycle however he chooses to.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The passenger should sit astride the motorcycle with his feet supported by the foot pedals..

The passenger should sit with one leg on each side of the motorcycle, and with the feet on the foot pedals. Sitting this way keeps the motorcycle balanced and lets the passenger lean with the rider in turns. Sitting with both legs on the same side makes the motorcycle unstable and increases the risk.
