Chapter: Ch. 8 Motorcycles
Section: 第１節 二輪車の運転者の心得
Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
A 21-year-old who has held a large motorcycle license for 2 years but has held a regular motorcycle license for 4 years can ride a large motorcycle two-up on an expressway.

## Correct answer
True

## Explanation
Under Rules of the Road Ch.8 and Road Traffic Act §71-4, people under 20 or who have held a large motorcycle license for less than 3 years cannot carry a passenger on an expressway. However, those who are 20+ AND have held a regular motorcycle license for 3+ years can ride two-up on a large motorcycle as an exception. The person in the question (21 years old, 2 years on large licence, 4 years on regular licence) meets that exception, so two-up riding is allowed.
