Which of the following conditions must be met for you to carry persons outside the driver's cab in a lorry?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Persons are being carried on seats.
Explanation
The question is about carrying people in a lorry outside the driver's cab. The condition is that the people are carried on seats - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act allows people to be carried in a lorry outside the driver's cab under four conditions at the same time: the vehicle meets the technical conditions required for carrying people, the people are not between the load and the driver's cab, they are carried on seats, and the vehicle does not exceed a speed of 50 km/h. So answer A is wrong - standing places are ruled out, because when braking there is nothing to hold on to and people are thrown forward. Answer C describes exactly what the rule prohibits: a person between the load and the cab would be crushed by a shifting load. Remember also that a driver carrying people outside the cab is not allowed to smoke or eat while driving.
