Will points be deducted for carrying a passenger on a motorcycle?

No points will be deducted for carrying a passenger on a motorcycle. Legal requirements for carrying a passenger on a motorcycle: Motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50CC can legally carry a passenger. Precautions for carrying a passenger on a motorcycle: Before departure, check the condition of the motorcycle, including whether the headlights, turn signals, horn, handlebars, etc., are functioning properly; wearing protective gear and a helmet is legally required. Choose brightly colored clothing; obey traffic rules, avoid racing with cars, drive safely in accordance with traffic regulations, and yield to pedestrians. Do not follow too closely; maintain an appropriate distance behind the right rear corner of the vehicle in front. When overtaking, pass from the left side of the vehicle ahead; avoid overtaking on the right or between two parallel vehicles.
I think riding a motorcycle with a passenger is common, but whether points are deducted depends on the specific situation. Generally, if you carry one passenger, both wearing helmets and riding normally, points usually won't be deducted. However, if you carry too many people, such as overloading or passengers not wearing helmets, it may violate traffic safety rules. I've been riding motorcycles for several years and know these details. The most important thing is safety first—motorcycles are inherently unstable, and carrying passengers can make them even more so, increasing the risk of accidents. Regulations also vary slightly by region, with some cities enforcing stricter rules. Deducting points is usually around 1 point, and fines are common. In short, before carrying a passenger, make sure to comply with local laws, check helmets, and avoid taking risks for convenience. Safe riding is about being responsible for yourself and your passengers—it's far more important than points.
