In what situation can a tram drive start driving, if the passengers have not moved away from the edge of the tram stop.
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. On condition that he exercises particular caution.
Explanation
The question is about moving off from a stop when the passengers have not moved away from its edge. The tram driver may start driving on condition that he exercises particular caution - answer B.
At crowded stops, passengers often stand near the edge of the platform, and there is not always room for them to move away. The tram driver may then move off, but very slowly, watching the mirrors and warning with the bell, ready to stop the tram at any moment. A delay compared to the timetable (answer A) never justifies moving off in a risky way. Answer C assumes an absolute prohibition, which the rules do not provide for - they require particular caution, that is increased attention and readiness to react immediately. If someone is standing so close to the track that they could be hit, you do not move off, or you stop immediately.
