Question 1258 in the bank

Is a bus used for driving instruction purposes permitted to enter where the following road sign is placed?

A red-bordered white circle containing a blue square with a white triangle showing the blue Hebrew letter Lamed.
  1. No, except if it belongs to a bus company that won permission.
  2. Yes.
  3. Correct answer: No.
  4. Yes, except for vehicles with an all up weight that exceeds 10,000 kg.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No.

This sign prohibits entry to any vehicle used for driving instruction; the letter inside stands for a learner vehicle. The ban covers every kind of instruction vehicle, buses included, regardless of total weight or which company owns it. A municipal permit given to bus companies does not allow a bus to enter while it is being used for a driving lesson.
