Driver of a “tour vehicle” must be:
- First degree graduate in Land of Israel Studies and holder of class D or D1 driving license.
- A driver approved by the Ministry of Transportation and holder of type D or D1 driving license.
- A certified tour guide approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and holder of type D or D1 driving license.
- Correct answer: A certified tour guide approved by the Ministry of Tourism, and holder of type D or D1 driving license.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A certified tour guide approved by the Ministry of Tourism, and holder of type D or D1 driving license.
A tour vehicle carries travellers on a guided tour, so its driver also acts as the group's guide. That is why the driver must be a certified tour guide approved by the Ministry of Tourism and must also hold a type D or D1 licence suited to the vehicle. Approval by the Ministry of Transportation alone or a degree in Land of Israel Studies is not enough, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection does not certify tour guides.
