I noticed that a spare crash helmet had been perched on the pillion.
People sometimes refer to pillion riders as being uninsurable, but that is rather an unfortunate word.
She was riding as the pillion passenger on a wet bike that strayed into the path of a boat pulling a water skier.
Once on the road, learner motor cyclists are now no longer allowed to carry pillion passengers.
The number of pillion passengers who do not wear helmets is not known.
Pillion passengers are an additional complication to the driver, who must exercise particular care in winter months when the weather makes road conditions dangerous.
Further, it is common knowledge that the attachment of a sidecar does not prevent the carrying of a pillion passenger on the motor cycle.
I regret that separate figures are not available of deaths in accidents to motor-cyclists who were carrying pillion passengers at the time.
