Taking into account the order to secure vehicles during stops, should all the doors remain closed when the tram driver is in the cabin?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about a tram that is parked while the tram driver stays in the cab. The obligation to secure the vehicle while it is parked does not then require all the doors of the tram to stay closed - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to secure a parked vehicle against being started by an unauthorised person and to take other precautions. When the tram driver is in the cab, he is watching the tram himself and no stranger will start it, so the doors may be open, for example at a turning loop, where passengers get on before departure. The obligation to close the doors and secure the cab applies above all to a situation in which the tram driver leaves the tram. However, open doors do not free you from watching the passengers and the surroundings.
