Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Sitting astride a regulated seat, with his feet placed on the feet supports and holding a handle or the rider..
A passenger must sit astride a proper seat meant for passengers, with feet on the foot supports and hands on a grab handle or holding the rider. This keeps the passenger stable, lets them move with the rider through turns, and avoids disturbing control. Sitting in front of the rider or holding the fuel tank or handlebar interferes with steering, and leaning back is unstable when braking.
