It prohibits the operator from carrying any package or other object that prevents him from keeping both hands on the handlebars and also prohibits carrying any person in a position that in terferes with the operation or control of the cycle or the operator’s view Another section relates to the so-called "chopper" motor cycle The new law requires motorcycle handlebars to be positioned so that the hands of the operator, when on the grips, are not at or above shoulder height when the rider is astride the seat D rivers of cars or other vehicles who attempt to cheat a motorcyclist out of full use of a traffic lane are in trouble under the new law. Motorcyclists, the law says, have the right to full use of a traffic lane but they may also operate two abreast in a single lane. In other words, if the driver of a car wants to pass a motorcycle, he should not attempt to squeeze by in the same lane as the motorcycle just because the cycle is sm aller than a motor vehicle. Passing restrictions have also been placed on the m o to rc y c lis t, the D ivisio n explains A Motorcyclist cannot le g a lly o v e rta k e and pass another vehicle in the same lane, unless overtaking another motorcycle.

It requires a motor cycle rider to sit on a per manent and regular seat a t tached to the motorcycle and requires the rider to sit astride the seat, facing forward, with one leg on each side of the cycle. If a passenger is carried, he or she must also sit on a per manent and regular seat if the unit is designed to carry more than one person, or upon another seat attached to the SANDY (O r*.)
