How should cargo be transported in a vehicle that has no separate driver’s compartment?
- It is prohibited to transport freight in a vehicle that doesn’t have a separate driver’s compartment.
- Correct answer: The vehicle must have a partition that separates and protects the passengers from being hit by the cargo.
- It is only permitted to transport freights on platforms.
- It is only permitted to transport freight in bulk.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle must have a partition that separates and protects the passengers from being hit by the cargo.
In a vehicle with no separate driver's compartment, the driver and passengers share the same space as the cargo. In hard braking or a crash, the load keeps moving forward and can seriously injure them. So carrying cargo is allowed, but a partition must separate the occupants from the load and protect them. There is no total ban, and no restriction to bulk loads or platforms only.
