Question 1465 in the bank

Is every taxi required to have an ABS anti-lock braking system?

  1. No, only buses and private passenger cars must have it.
  2. No, only buses and commercial vehicles must have it.
  3. No, only city cabs must have it.
  4. Correct answer: Yes.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes.

Every taxi must be fitted with ABS, whatever kind of service it provides. ABS keeps the wheels from locking under hard braking, so the driver can still steer and the risk of skidding is reduced. Because a taxi carries paying passengers, strict safety equipment rules apply to it. Answers limiting the requirement to city cabs or to other vehicle types are wrong.

Topic: Rules and regulations. The bank marks it for these classes: Bus (D).
