Question 517 in the bank

According to the law, what is the maximum allowed length of the bus in the following picture?

A white single-deck bus with two axles, seen from the side with its front facing left. A pink stripe and a red stripe run along its body, and there is a yellow patch on the lower part of the front.
  1. Correct answer: 13.5 meters.
  2. 18.5 meters.
  3. 11 meters.
  4. 12 meters.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: 13.5 meters.

The bus in the picture is a rigid bus, not an articulated one. The maximum length the law allows for such a bus is 13.5 meters. The 18.5 meters option does not suit this bus: an articulated bus is built of two sections joined by a joint, and the bus in the picture is not.
