While driving a bus, are you allowed to consume food?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Yes, when you are not carrying passengers.
Explanation
The question is about eating a meal while driving a bus. You may do it if you are driving without passengers - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits the driver of a power-driven vehicle carrying a person from smoking tobacco or eating food while driving. The ban is linked to carrying people, so when you are driving an empty bus, for example to the depot, you are not breaking it. Even one passenger (answer B) means carrying a person, so the ban already applies. The type of road (answer C) does not matter - the rule does not mention motorways or expressways; the only thing that counts is whether you are carrying people. Remember, however, that eating always draws your attention away and keeps your hands busy, so it is best to eat during a break.
