A lightweight two-wheeled motorcycle is not allowed to carry passengers on any part other than the seats, and the rear seat can only carry one additional person. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules, they will be given a warning or fined between 20 and 200 yuan. The following points should be noted when carrying passengers on a motorcycle: 1. Driving license; the driver must have a driver's license, compulsory insurance, and both must wear helmets. 2. Tire pressure and rear suspension adjustment; the motorcycle body should have a tire pressure sticker indicating the recommended tire pressure for solo and dual riding. If you frequently ride with a passenger, you should inflate the tires sufficiently. 3. The driver's sense of responsibility; from the moment the passenger gets on the motorcycle, the driver must be aware that they are carrying another life. The driver is absolutely responsible for the passenger's safety. Every action should be taken with this in mind. 4. Be mentally prepared for close contact with the passenger; distractions such as feeling the passenger's tight grip on your waist or the warmth on your back should be avoided while driving. 5. Establish communication cues with the passenger; the passenger can lightly push the driver's back to indicate readiness to start. If the passenger feels uncomfortable and wants to slow down, they can gently pull the driver's left or right shoulder on a straight road. If the passenger is guiding the route, they can lightly tap the driver's left or right shoulder to indicate a turn. If the passenger wants to get off, they must wait until the motorcycle has stopped, the driver has both feet on the ground and applied the front brake, and the driver has signaled before getting off.
