Question 224 in the bank

Are we permitted to ride or drive a vehicle when part of our body is sticking out of the vehicle?

  1. Correct answer: It is forbidden, except on a motorbike.
  2. It is only permitted for adult passengers.
  3. Yes, when driving on dirt roads.
  4. Yes, in a collector’s vehicle only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: It is forbidden, except on a motorbike.

It is forbidden to ride or drive a vehicle when part of the body sticks out of the vehicle, because a hand or head may be hit by a passing vehicle, a pole or a branch, and the driver may also lose control. The ban does not depend on the passengers' age, the type of road, or the vehicle being old. The exception is a motorbike, where the rider sits outside anyway and not inside an enclosed cabin.
