Correct answer
C. 5
Explanation
The question is about the number of people from a team of labourers who may be carried in a trailer pulled by an agricultural tractor. There may be no more than 5 of them - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits carrying people in a trailer, but it allows carrying escort guards, teams of labourers and people doing loading work in a trailer behind an agricultural tractor under several conditions. The number of people carried must not exceed 5, standing people must hold on to handles, nobody may ride between the load and the front wall of the trailer, and the speed of the combination must not be higher than 20 km/h. Neither 10 people (answer A) nor 7 people (answer B) are within the limit - a larger group must be carried in a vehicle adapted for carrying people or in several trips. The limit of 5 people covers everyone riding in the trailer together, including an escort guard or people for unloading, so you count every person on the cargo bed.
