When adjusting your mirrors to carry a passenger, the passenger should:

• A. Sit on the seat with you
• B. Sit behind you on the luggage rack
• C. Stand beside you
• D. Sit in front of you

Answer: (A)

When you’re carrying a passenger, you adjust your mirrors with the rider and passenger in their proper positions. The passenger should sit on the seat behind the rider, on the passenger seat. This two-up seating arrangement is how motorcycles are designed to carry a second person safely, and it lets you set the mirrors to include the space behind both of you. Putting a passenger on a luggage rack isn’t safe or legal, standing beside you isn’t a seating position and would throw off balance, and having the passenger sit in front of you would block your view and hinder control. Riding with the passenger on the seat behind you ensures both of you are in the intended spots and the mirrors can be adjusted to keep an eye on traffic behind both of you.
