Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

Which of the following is the correct standard for walking-type motorized vehicles?

[Multiple choice · Medium]

Answer: B: Length not exceeding 190 centimeters, width not exceeding 60 centimeters

Explanation

Standard (1) for walking-type vehicles specifies that "the length must not exceed 190 centimeters and the width must not exceed 60 centimeters." Unlike many other small vehicles that are 120 centimeters × 70 centimeters, this vehicle type is characterized by being longer in length and narrower in width.
