It doesn't remove the duty of care of the rider at all- it just removes the suggestion that the child shouldn't have been riding. If the rider does anything illegal or dangerous they would remain solely responsible (same as current pillion law)
At the moment pillion law's pretty weak- CBT riders or restricted license holders routinely carry pillions. A new law would be an opportunity to start sorting that out too...
