In which situation, are you allowed to leave the tram depot with a damaged external warning bell?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Under no circumstances.
Explanation
The question is about leaving the depot in a tram with a damaged external warning bell. The tram driver is under no circumstances allowed to leave in such a tram - answer B.
The bell is the basic sound signal of a tram, which the tram driver uses to warn pedestrians and drivers of danger. It is part of the mandatory equipment, and a vehicle taking part in traffic must be equipped and maintained so that using it does not endanger safety. Driving only during the day (answer A) does not solve the problem, because a sound warning is needed at any time of day. An entry in the documents (answer C) does not make the bell work again. You report the fault to the technical service before leaving.
Legal basis: Art. 66 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 point 3 of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 2 March 2011 on the technical conditions of trams and trolleybuses and the scope of their necessary equipment (Dz.U. nr 65 poz. 344)
