What is the maximum permitted length of a dual axle bus?
- There is no length restriction, but the length of its rear extension should not exceed 3.5 meters.
- 13 meters; and for an articulated bus – 18 meters.
- 15.5 meters; and for an articulated bus – 18.75 meters.
- Correct answer: 13.5 meters.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: 13.5 meters.
A bus with two axles may be at most 13.5 meters long. Length limits keep large vehicles able to turn safely at junctions and bends and suited to road dimensions. The figures of 13 or 15.5 meters are wrong, and the claim that there is no length restriction is also wrong, because the law limits the bus's overall length.
