Which of the following activities is prohibited if you are carrying persons outside the driver's cab in a lorry?

This question is about the prohibitions that apply to a driver who is carrying people outside the cab of a lorry. Eating is prohibited - answer C.

The Road Traffic Act states that the driver of a power-driven vehicle who is carrying a person is prohibited from smoking tobacco or eating while driving; the exception covers the driver of a lorry carrying a person in the driver's cab and the driver of a passenger car other than a taxi. Since you are carrying people outside the cab, the exception does not cover you - eating and smoking while driving are prohibited. Talking to passengers (answer B) is not prohibited, although it is difficult in this situation, and carrying an extra person in the cab (answer A) is allowed, as long as you do not exceed the number of seats in the vehicle registration certificate - carrying people outside the cab removes the eating exception anyway. When carrying people outside the cab, also remember the 50 km/h limit and the requirement for seats.
