Question 1431 in the bank

What is the maximum number of passengers permitted on a commercial vehicle with an all up weight exceeding 3,500 kg, which has no standard chassis for passenger transportation?

  1. Eleven passengers including the driver.
  2. Six passengers, including the passengers that sit next to the driver.
  3. Correct answer: Six passengers, besides the passengers that sit next to the driver.
  4. Eight passengers, besides the passengers that sit next to the driver.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Six passengers, besides the passengers that sit next to the driver.

A commercial vehicle over 3,500 kg without a standard passenger body may carry at most six passengers, and this count does not include the passengers seated next to the driver in the cab. Such a vehicle is built for cargo, not for carrying people, so the number is strictly limited. Counting the front passengers within the six, or allowing eight or eleven, does not match the rule.
