- Correct answer: A private motor vehicle, designed to carry up to eight passengers, apart from the driver and stated on the vehicle license private vehicle.
- A motor vehicle, designed to carry ten passengers, licensed as a private vehicle
- A private motor vehicle, designed to carry at least twelve passengers, licensed as a private vehicle
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A private motor vehicle, designed to carry up to eight passengers, apart from the driver and stated on the vehicle license private vehicle.
A private passenger car must meet two conditions: it is designed to carry up to eight passengers in addition to the driver, and its vehicle licence lists it as a private vehicle. A vehicle built for more passengers, such as ten or twelve, no longer counts as a private passenger car. A vehicle licensed as public, like a taxi, is not private even with the same number of seats.
