When you ride a moped, can you transport a passenger that has consumed alcohol?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. No, under no circumstances.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a passenger who has drunk alcohol on a moped. You are not allowed to do this under any circumstances - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act forbids carrying a person who is intoxicated or after drinking alcohol or after taking a substance with a similar effect on a bicycle, moped or motorcycle, unless the person is carried in a sidecar. A moped has no sidecar, so the exception does not apply, and the place on the back seat (answer B) is exactly what is forbidden. Limiting your speed to 20 km/h (answer C) changes nothing. The passenger of a two-wheeler actively takes part in the ride - they must hold on, lean together with the rider and sit still. A person who has drunk alcohol has impaired balance and reactions, may sway or let go of the handle and throw you off balance, and in a fall they usually do not have time to protect themselves.
