Your passenger should be instructed
that they can cause loss of motorcycle
control by making sudden movements
or by adopting an incorrect seated
position.
The
rider
should
instruct
the
passenger as follows:
It is important that the passenger sits
still while the motorcycle is in motion
and does not interfere with the
operation of the motorcycle.
To keep their feet on the passenger
footrests and to firmly hold onto the
grab handles or the rider's waist or
hips.
Advise the passenger to lean with the
rider when traveling around corners
and not to lean unless the rider does
so.
Warning
The handling and braking capabilities
of a motorcycle will be affected by the
presence of a passenger. The rider
must make allowances for these
changes
when
operating
the
motorcycle with a passenger and
should not attempt such operation
unless trained to do so and without
becoming familiar and comfortable with
the changes in motorcycle operating
characteristics that this brings about.
Motorcycle operation without making
allowances for the presence of a
passenger could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not carry animals on your
motorcycle.
An animal could make sudden and
unpredictable movements that could
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
