LOL, dont matter, they'll grow out of them before they get to wear them :lmao:

( considering its now illegal to have under 12 yr olds as pillions)



Oggy, AU licence valid or do you need an international licence ? ,

[Tarrasque]

I thought they have to be over 8 and able to reach the pillion pegs?

Are you sure?

Been Sunny everyday and 22 degrees (so far).....

Yep kids do grow out of the gear quickly, but thats no excuse not to wear it (just a better reason that it should be cheaper).

I hired the car with the Aussie licence. Couldnt find my UK one, but i'd always use the Aussie one here as too much paperwork for the police to deal with overseas' licenses... I imagine I'm already banned here with all the speed camera's everywhere.

You'd want to watch it mate it may just catch up with you. Good morning by the way. Glad the weathers good.

Remembered reading the minimum age for pillions was 12 yrs old somewhere, but after a search turns out I was wrong..


Minimum Pillion Passenger Age or Requirements Print E-mail

Taking children for a ride requires careful thought and planning for their safety.

Motorcycle Riders Association of Australia state that there is no minimum age requirement for being a pillion passenger. They state that the requirements are:

'A pillion passenger must be able to sit on the seat and both feet must be able to rest comfortably on the foot pegs'

However, in NSW the minimum age is 8 years.

NSW
Any passenger carried on a motorbike (not in a sidecar) must be eight years of age or older. Children under eight are only allowed to be carried in the sidecar of a motorbike.

Sidecars must not be operated if:

* The passenger is not safely seated.
* The passenger is not wearing an approved helmet.
