How should the internal mirrors on a tram be positioned?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. To see the area of the wagon close to the door.
Explanation
The question is about positioning the internal mirror in a tram. It should allow you to see the area of the car near the doors - answer B.
The internal mirror helps the tram driver to monitor passengers getting on and off, especially at the first doors, and to notice whether someone is standing in the doorway while the doors are closing. You can see the tram driver's cab itself without a mirror (answer A), so such a position would make no sense. The outline of the vehicle (answer C) is checked in the external mirrors, which show the sides of the tram and the space next to it. Before leaving, you check the position of all the mirrors, because doing this while driving is not safe.
