Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

Jumping on a moving streetcar is prohibited, but buses are not mentioned in the text.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

Chapter 2, Section 7, Item 1 of the Rules of the Road states: "You must not jump on or off a vehicle or streetcar while it is moving." The term "vehicle" includes buses. Therefore, buses are mentioned, and this statement is incorrect. In fact, the term "vehicle" refers to vehicles in general, including buses.

Oh, so streetcars are mentioned but buses aren't in the rule?

Wait, so buses are already included in 'vehicle'?

Exactly! 'Vehicle' is the catch-all term, so buses, cars, trucks—all of them—are covered by the same rule.
