You want to transport a pillion passenger and luggage on your motorbike. What must you be aware of?

Your answer is fully correct. When transporting a pillion passenger and luggage on a motorbike in Germany, you must pay attention to three key rules: First, the maximum authorised mass (the total allowed weight for the bike including rider, passenger, and luggage) must not be exceeded to ensure safe handling and braking. Second, all luggage must be securely fastened so it doesn't shift or fall off during the ride, which could cause danger to you or other road users. Third, the bike's lighting systems (headlights, taillights, indicators) must remain clearly visible and not be blocked by luggage or the passenger, as functioning and visible lighting is essential for road safety and legal compliance. Following these rules helps maintain control, safety, and legal driving on German roads.
