What is the min age for pillion rider?

[nucomer]

I know is not advisable to pillion kids but just need to occasionally.

[mechwira]

Carrying pillion not sitting astride is 3 points.

 

Carrying passenger in dangerous manner is 6 points.

 

Insecure helmet is 3 points.

 

So if your kid properly sit behind, feet on pedal, reasonably fitting approved helmet, you ok. Put your child in front of you and/or ill fitting helmet, no go. Probably too small to sit behind also no go. Otherwise, age is not a factor.

Whoa. Thats new to me. Didn see this in TP site.

[w7_lee]

Wow, that is new to me too.....

My child school got at least 3 fathers that bring their children to school on bike.

One of them rides a 3 wheeler motorbike, dunno if that counts. One angmo father (in business wear) ride a vespa scooter. The last one ride a class 2 Ducati 1200 (I think).

So it is illegal to pillion children (

 

So isn't Singapore stressful

jaywalking is also illegal... so...

I think there's also a requirement that the pillion must be able to reach the pillion footpegs, regardless of age. But I have never heard of someone being stopped by TP for having kids as pillions.

my son also enjoyed n hugged tight when riding with me when he was in pri 1......introduction to basic roller coaster so when he is

when its short, doesnt matter shorts or skirts, dangling or firm... they deserve all the attention... talking abt this, I was so distracted when one pillion wearing skirt was nonchalantly using her phone away while her skirt was totally blowing up...she wasnt even sitting down on her skirt... a sight to behold... couldnt sleep that night

Errm.....who was it....was it Fiona Xie? I think when she was filming where she rode on a R1.

 

Her breasts were totally sitting on the tank.

 

The extras aka male bikers was suddenly becoming shorter just to be very sure.

[GuiNNeSS]

And yes. The 10 year old pillion rule was there the longest time.

 

Most TP wont borther to really catch that. Its really up to the Rider to be careful with their pillion.

 

Usually accidents, if pillions is adult, its no big deal. But best to take note that its illegal for pillion under age of 10, so please ride safer.

 

The legal system will come down harder if the child involved in an accident is below 10 years of age.

 

And it can be even worse where the rider is hit by other road users. The child under 10 years of age cannot be covered fully in insurance.

depend on the child height too.. for safety concern
