What are the procedures for carrying a passenger on a blue-plate motorcycle?

[DeSabrina]

Carrying a passenger on a blue-plate motorcycle violates road traffic safety regulations and may result in a warning or fine, along with a one-point deduction on the driver's license. Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China"; Article 55 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China".

I remember when I just got my motorcycle license, I was super nervous the first time taking my girlfriend out. The steps had to be followed from the beginning: first, ensure my driver's license was complete—for a blue-plate motorcycle with a displacement above 50cc, a Class D license was required—then check that the vehicle registration wasn't expired. Next, make sure she wore a properly sized helmet, and so did I; safety helmets aren't just for show. Before getting on the bike, adjust the rearview mirrors to clearly see behind; have her hold onto my waist tightly and avoid distracting conversations. While riding, control the speed—don’t exceed 60 km/h on city roads, especially when turning. If stopped by traffic police, pull over immediately, cooperate by showing the documents, and maintain a good attitude. If fined for violations like not wearing a helmet (200 RMB and 2 points deducted), handle the penalty promptly to avoid late fees. I always check tire pressure and brake performance before every ride, which makes carrying a passenger steadier. In short, with more practice, new riders will get the hang of it.

I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade, and carrying passengers has become routine. The procedure is simple but shouldn't be taken lightly: Before departure, routinely check the bike's chain and taillight to avoid mid-journey breakdowns. Making passengers wear helmets is a non-negotiable requirement, and I'm no exception. When starting off, instruct them to hold the handlebars firmly and avoid swaying. Maintain a speed below 60 km/h while riding, leave extra safety distance, and pay close attention to balance affected by passenger weight. Slow down at red lights or in congested areas. If stopped by traffic police, I calmly pull over, present my documents, and explain the situation. For violations like overloading, fines range from 100-200 yuan with penalty points, which I usually handle through online payment platforms for convenience. Regular motorcycle maintenance, including oil changes, makes passenger-carrying safer. With experience, it all becomes easier.

Riding a blue-plate motorcycle with a passenger is most feared for its safety risks. The key steps focus on protection: both must wear helmets, preferably full-face helmets for better safety. Adjust the seat before riding to ensure the passenger is seated properly and holding onto the back. Stay focused on the road while riding, control the throttle to avoid speeding, and test the brakes to ensure responsiveness. If stopped by authorities, park and provide documents without argument. Violations like riding without a license may result in vehicle impoundment, followed by timely review of traffic rules. Safety first to protect the passenger.
