Question 1171 in the bank

Is a taxi driver permitted to drop passengers next to a sign or marking that prohibits stopping or parking?

  1. He is permitted to stop only if instructed to do so by a policeman.
  2. Correct answer: Yes, on an urban road only.
  3. Only share-taxi drivers are permitted to do so.
  4. Yes, on all types of roads.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, on an urban road only.

On an urban road, a taxi driver may stop for the time needed to pick up or drop off passengers, even where a sign or marking prohibits stopping or parking. This permission does not apply on a non-urban road. It is not conditional on a policeman's instruction, and it is not limited to share-taxis.
