What factors might limit the tram driver's field of vision?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Persons in the cabin.
Explanation
In the photo we see the tram driver's cab, seen from the control desk, with a view of snow-covered tracks and a junction; there are interior mirrors in the cab. The tram driver's field of view may be limited by people in the cab - the answer is A.
A person standing in the cab, for example an instructor, a second tram driver or another employee, may cover part of the windscreen or a mirror. The tram driver could then fail to notice a pedestrian or a car. Weather conditions (answer B) also limit visibility, but they are not the "only" factor. Advertisements on the sides of the tram (answer C) are not in the tram driver's field of view. While driving, you make sure that nobody covers the windows and mirrors.
