When a motorcycle is stopped, what should a passenger do?

When a motorcycle is stopped, the proper action for a passenger is to keep both feet on the foot pegs. This position helps maintain the stability of the motorcycle and prevents it from tipping over. By remaining on the foot pegs, the passenger ensures that their weight is centered and aligned with the bike, which helps the rider manage stability during a stop.

Maintaining this position also ensures that the passenger is ready to resume riding without delay when the motorcycle begins to move again. Shifting weight or moving around can lead to instability and unintended movement, making it important for the passenger to maintain a steady posture while the bike is stopped.
