Ch. 11 · Owner & Manager

Users of emergency vehicles or road maintenance work vehicles must make efforts to provide traffic safety education to drivers in all cases.

[True / False · Medium]

Hikari

Emergency and work vehicles should always get safety education, right? Seems logical.

Yui

Almost—but that's false. The rule says users must provide education except when a safe-driving manager is already appointed, so it doesn't apply in all cases.

Hikari

Ah, so there's an exception when a manager's already handling it?

Yui

Exactly! If a safe-driving manager is on the job, the user doesn't need to do extra education.
