Under what condition should you tell your passenger to dismount?

• A. When you signal
• B. When you say it's OK
• C. At the next stop
• D. Whenever they want

Answer: (B)

On a motorcycle with a passenger, you control the safety of the dismount. The passenger should only get off when you give explicit verbal permission that it’s OK. This ensures you can account for speed, traffic, road conditions, and balance, and it keeps both of you coordinated. Relying on a hand signal alone isn’t as reliable for confirming the exact moment it’s safe, and dismounting at the next stop or whenever they want can create risky situations if conditions aren’t right. So, the passenger should dismount only when you say it’s OK.
