When carrying a passenger, where should they be when you adjust your mirrors?

The recommended position for a passenger when you adjust your mirrors is sitting on the seat with you. This practice is essential because the passenger's weight and position can affect the motorcycle's balance and handling. When the passenger is seated properly, it enables you to accurately judge how the motorcycle will respond on the road with the added weight. Additionally, adjusting mirrors while a passenger is properly seated ensures that you have a clear and accurate view of your surroundings, which is vital for safe riding. Proper mirror adjustment allows the rider to monitor traffic effectively, making it safer for both the rider and the passenger.

If mirrors are adjusted without the passenger in their correct position, the rider risks having blind spots or misjudging the distance of vehicles behind or beside them, leading to potential safety hazards.
