In what situations, can a tram driver let a passenger in a hurry in or out of the tram?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Only if the passenger is standing at the tram stop.
Explanation
This question is about letting on and letting off a passenger who is in a great hurry. The tram driver may do this only at a stop - the answer is B.
A stop is a place adapted for getting on and off safely: the passenger steps onto a platform or pavement, not onto a roadway with cars driving on it. Opening the doors while waiting for the lights to change (answer A) or outside a stop at the passenger's request (answer C) could end with the person getting off being hit. The Road Traffic Act prohibits opening the doors of a vehicle and getting out without making sure that this will not endanger traffic safety. A passenger's hurry is not a reason to risk that passenger's life.
Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 1 point 3 and Art. 3 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
