    Motorbike Pillion restrictions

    Does anyone know where I can get information on restrictions on passengers on a motorbike?
    Specifically age or height restrictions.

    I have had my license for years so not a "P" plate.
    I am interested in taking my young daughter on the back.

    Thanks

    sorry to answer my own post but finally found something:
    from Transport Department - Signals, Passengers

    You must not carry more than one passenger unless there is a sidecar on the motorcycle.
    You must ensure that the passenger sits astride the motorcycle on a fixed seat behind you with feet firmly on footrests.
    You must not carry a passenger under the age of 8 years unless he or she is carried on a fixed seat in a sidecar.
