In what situations while driving, is the tram driver allowed to disable the driving lock?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. It is forbidden in every situation.
Explanation
The question is about switching off the drive lock while driving a tram. This is prohibited in every situation - answer C.
The drive lock, called the "green line" ("zielona linia"), prevents the tram from moving with open or not fully closed doors. Switching it off while driving would allow the tram to run with open doors, and this creates a risk of a passenger falling out, for example on a bend or when braking. A passenger's request (answer A) or a very full car (answer B) do not justify such an action - in a crowd, the risk of falling out is actually greater. When the doors do not close, you stop the tram and follow the dispatcher's instructions.
