Are motorcycle passengers less safe than the drivers?
I'll never ride with a passenger and I'll tell you why. When you ride a motorcycle you have to lean into the curves. The driver has a better feel for the road than the passenger and knows how far to lean and how to control the throttle to pull out of it. The passenger does not necessarily have this sense, so it is possible they could add to the driver's lean or overcorrect when they pull out of it. They can also throw the bike off balance in ways the driver can't predict. It takes a very skilled driver and passenger to be safe on a motorcycle. So it isn't a matter of being safe or not safe. If the bike goes down then both the driver and the passenger are going to get pretty banged up. It is my feeling that the chance of an accident goes up when you have a passenger. It is also true that the passenger has more of a chance of not being prepared when the bike takes off and could fly off the back, so I guess statistically the passenger is in more danger than the driver, but it really just comes down to being experienced and safe. Stupid people are always at risk of injury.

Is it illegal to ride with an unlicensed driver?
Laws vary from state to state. However, I don't know of anywhere that it is illegal, but it is very irresponsible. If a passenger is in the car when the driver is pulled over for driving without a licence, the passenger may be ticketed or jailed, depending on the state, and the passenger would more than likely get a ride home and nothing more. If you know that the driver of a vehicle is not licensed by the state, you should not ride with that driver. If you are in a car accident, the driver cannot be insured if they are unlicensed, and you could be liable for your hospitalization, ambulance and physician's fees.
