Momoka

If the engine's off and you're just pushing it, you're a pedestrian, right?

Hikari

Not if you're towing another vehicle! That's one of the three exceptions — engine running, towing, or having a sidecar.

Momoka

Oh wow, I thought turning on the lights might count too!

Hikari

Nope, lights and helmets don't change your status — just remember those three exceptions and you're good.
