Question 1494 in the bank

Who is permitted to transport hazardous materials?

  1. Anybody who was trained to do it and obtained a permit from the body that trained him.
  2. Anybody who successfully completed a heavy vehicle driving course.
  3. Anybody who is permitted to drive a vehicle with an all up weight of more than 12,000 kg..
  4. Correct answer: Only someone who was trained to do so and obtained a permit from the Ministry of Transportation.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Only someone who was trained to do so and obtained a permit from the Ministry of Transportation.

Carrying hazardous materials requires special training and a permit from the Ministry of Transportation, because a mistake or crash could cause fire, explosion or pollution. A heavy vehicle licence or a heavy vehicle driving course is not enough on its own. A permit from the body that did the training is also not valid, since only the Ministry can issue it.
