Question 322 in the bank

How many passengers are permitted to travel in a commercial vehicle with an overall permissible weight of more than 3,500kg?

  1. According to the specifications of the driver’s license.
  2. Only one passenger, sitting besides the driver.
  3. According to the number of seats in the driver’s compartment only.
  4. Correct answer: Up to 6 passengers, not including those sitting besides the driver.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Up to 6 passengers, not including those sitting besides the driver.

A commercial vehicle with an overall permissible weight above 3,500 kg may carry up to six passengers, not counting those sitting beside the driver. The limit is not only the seats in the driver's compartment or a single passenger. The driver's licence defines which vehicles you may drive, not how many passengers this vehicle may carry.
