Are 16 year old allowed to carry passengers?
Another one of those unenforced & unenforceable laws.
first off, the main concern is the health and well being of all those involved in the collision. I hope they recover quickly.
but is the 16 year old even supposed to be towing anybody on their bike? I thought the law now was that they couldn’t.
that issue is obviously secondary to their recovery but it’s not totally insignificant information.
