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.
