What impact has the position of the tram driver's seat on the operation of the control devices?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. It has a crucial impact.
Explanation
This question is about adjusting the tram driver's seat before setting off. It has a crucial impact on operating the controls - the answer is C.
The position of the seat determines whether the tram driver can easily reach the master controller for driving and braking, the buttons on the control panel and the dead man's device, and also whether the tram driver can see the road in front of the tram and the view in the mirrors well. A badly adjusted seat is tiring, delays reaction and makes hard braking in a sudden situation more difficult. That is why answers A and B, which play down this impact, are wrong. Before setting off, you adjust the seat so that your back rests against the backrest and your hands and feet can operate all the controls without effort.
