Question 238 in the bank

What is the maximum number of passengers allowed in an combined commercial vehicle with an overall permissible weight of up to 3,500 kg?

  1. As stated in the driver’s license, if at all.
  2. One passenger next to the driver and three passengers in the back.
  3. Correct answer: As stated on the vehicle license but not more than eight passengers, apart from the driver.
  4. Two passengers next to the driver and four passengers in the back.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: As stated on the vehicle license but not more than eight passengers, apart from the driver.

The number of seats in a combined commercial vehicle is set and recorded on the vehicle license, and you may not carry more passengers than it states. On top of that, such a vehicle may never carry more than eight passengers besides the driver. A fixed split such as one passenger in front and three in the back is not the rule, and the driver's license does not set passenger numbers.
