1 Answers
Riding a motorcycle without a helmet results in a deduction of two points. According to Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. The rules for motorcycle driving are as follows: 1. Rule 1: Power-assisted bicycles are limited to one rider; carrying passengers is prohibited, and they can carry a maximum of 30kg of cargo. For two-wheeled motor vehicles with two seats, carrying a passenger is allowed, and they can carry a maximum of 60kg of cargo. 2. Rule 2: The obligation for motorcycle drivers is that both the driver and the passenger must wear helmets. On general roads, those who have held a motorcycle license for less than one year are not allowed to carry passengers. On highways and motor vehicle-only roads, those who have held a motorcycle license for less than three years and drivers under 20 years old are not allowed to carry passengers. 3. Rule 3: On general roads without specific speed limits, power-assisted bicycles must not exceed 30km/h, while two-wheeled motor vehicles, like cars, must not exceed 60km/h. Additionally, according to regulations, only "motor vehicles as defined by the Road Transport Vehicle Law" are allowed on highways and motor vehicle-only roads. Only motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 126cc can use these roads. According to regulations, the maximum speed for two-wheeled motor vehicles on highways is the same as for four-wheeled cars, at 100km/h.
