92. Pasajero
Un pasajero es una persona que viaja dentro o sobre un vehículo sin ser responsable de conducirlo o controlarlo. Puede viajar en coches, autobuses, motocicletas, trenes y otros medios siempre que el vehículo esté diseñado y autorizado para transportarlo.
Los pasajeros deben utilizar los asientos, cinturones, sistemas infantiles, cascos u otros equipos de seguridad exigidos. Un vehículo no debe transportar más personas que las permitidas por su capacidad homologada.
What is a passenger?
A passenger is a person travelling in or on a vehicle without being the person responsible for driving or controlling it.
Is a passenger the same as an occupant?
Not exactly. An occupant can include both the driver and passengers, while a passenger normally means an occupant who is not driving the vehicle.
Must passengers wear seat belts?
Where seat belts are provided and their use is required, passengers must wear them correctly. Exact requirements and exemptions vary between countries.
Can a vehicle carry more passengers than it has seats?
Normally no. Vehicles must not carry more people than the number or capacity for which they are designed and legally approved.
Do children count as passengers?
Yes. Children travelling in a vehicle are passengers, but additional rules may require an appropriate child-restraint system depending on their age, height or weight.
Can a passenger travel without a proper seat?
Generally no. Passengers should travel only in positions designed and approved for carrying people and use any required restraint system.
Can passengers ride on the outside of a vehicle?
This is generally prohibited except for specialised vehicles and circumstances specifically permitted by local law. Passengers should normally remain in the designated passenger compartment or seating position.
Can a motorcycle carry a passenger?
Yes, if the motorcycle is designed and equipped for one. The passenger may be required to use a proper seat, footrests, helmet and other protective equipment.
Can a bicycle carry a passenger?
Only when the bicycle or an approved passenger-carrying device is designed and legally permitted to carry that passenger. Local rules may contain special requirements for children and trailers.
Should passengers avoid distracting the driver?
Yes. Passengers should avoid behaviour that interferes with the driver's ability to observe the road, operate the controls or concentrate on traffic.
