Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. No, under no circumstances.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a passenger without a safety helmet on a moped. You are not allowed to do this under any circumstances - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act requires the rider of a moped and the person carried by him to wear, while riding, a safety helmet that meets the technical conditions, and forbids the rider to carry a passenger in a way that breaks this obligation. The place on the back seat (answer A) is not an exception - it is the normal passenger place. Low speed (answer B) changes nothing either: in a fall, the head hits the roadway with a force that can cause a serious injury even at 20-30 km/h. The passenger should have a well-fitted and fastened helmet. If they have no helmet, you simply do not carry them - you are responsible for this as the rider.
Legal basis: Art. 40 para. 1 and Art. 45 para. 2 point 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
