Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **responsibility of the motorcycle rider** includes ensuring that all passengers wear a **protective helmet**. This is crucial because two-wheeled vehicles, such as motorcycles, are more fragile and less visible than other vehicles, which increases the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
- **Helmet use:** Both the rider and the passenger must wear the helmet properly fastened. This is vital because head injuries are the leading cause of death in motorcycle accidents. In fact, wearing a helmet can save lives, as three out of ten people who have a motorcycle accident survive thanks to wearing one.
- **Rider's responsibility:** The rider must ensure that the passenger complies with this safety measure. It is not only a matter of personal safety but also a legal obligation.
Therefore, it is the rider who has the responsibility to ensure that the passenger wears the helmet, not the vehicle owner or the passenger themselves.
