Question 1174 in the bank

What is the maximum number of passengers a minibus driver is permitted to carry?

  1. 6 adults and two children.
  2. Correct answer: As stated in the vehicle’s registration documents and not more than ten.
  3. 8 passengers besides the driver.
  4. As the number of seats.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: As stated in the vehicle’s registration documents and not more than ten.

A minibus may carry only the number of passengers stated in its registration documents, and never more than ten. The driver should check those documents rather than simply count the seats, since the number of seats alone does not set the legal limit. Fixed figures such as eight passengers, or six adults and two children, are not the rule.
