Question 229 in the bank

Is it permitted to seat more than one passenger alongside of the driver?

  1. It is absolutely forbidden.
  2. Correct answer: No, unless it is stated in the vehicle registration.
  3. Yes, if two seatbelts are installed, in addition to the driver’s seatbelt.
  4. Yes, if the front seat is an integrated seat.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No, unless it is stated in the vehicle registration.

As a rule, only one passenger may sit beside the driver. More are allowed only when the vehicle registration explicitly permits it, because that document sets the approved number of seats. So an integrated front seat or extra seatbelts are not enough on their own, and it is not an absolute ban either.

Topic: Rules and regulations. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Private car (B).
