Will motorcycle passengers be penalized for not wearing helmets?
1 Answers
Motorcycle passengers not wearing helmets will be penalized. Below is relevant information about non-motor vehicles: Penalties for not wearing helmets: According to regulations, non-motor vehicle riders not wearing helmets may be fined. When riding on the road, safety protection conditions must be met. Non-motor vehicles are considered "meat wrapped in iron," meaning the rider has no other means to protect the passenger's safety. Currently, the only effective way to protect cyclists is to wear a helmet properly. Rules against carrying passengers illegally: Electric vehicles and motorcycles have different management standards, especially regarding passenger carrying. Electric bicycles are not allowed to carry adults; the rear seat is only permitted for children under 12 years old. Otherwise, traffic police will impose penalties directly. The current chaos with electric vehicles includes situations where one vehicle carries multiple people, disregarding safety and exceeding the safe technical standards for road travel. Therefore, enforcing rules against illegal passenger carrying on electric vehicles ensures everyone's safety. Although motorcycles can carry one passenger with proper documentation, the passenger must wear a safety helmet before riding. Otherwise, if discovered by traffic police, they will face fines or similar penalties.
