Australian Road Rules270—Wearing motor bike helmets(1) The rider of a motor bike that is moving, or is stationary but not parked, must:
(a) wear an approved motor bike helmet
securely fitted and fastened on the
rider's head; and
(b) not ride with a passenger unless the passenger complies with subrule (2)
and
(2) A passenger on a motor bike (
except a passenger in a sidecar or
on a seat designed for
a passenger,
other than a pillion seat) that is moving, or is stationary but not parked,
must:
(a) sit astride the pillion seat facing forwards; and
(b) keep both feet on the footrests designed for use by a pillion passenger on the
motor bike.
I reckon the pillion is OK, and the rider only needs to do up his helmet.
