Ask the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
Recently the MSF was asked… “When riding two up, who should be responsible for the hand signals, the operator or the co-rider?”
MSF response…
”Only the operator should make the hand signals.” “It is the operator’s responsibility!”
Reasons
- “A passenger cannot always anticipate what the operator will do that would require a hand signal.”
- “If the operator had to tell the passenger to to give a particular signal, valuable time could be lost or the operator could lose attention to riding.”
