Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

A person remotely operating a remotely operated small vehicle has no particular speed restrictions as long as the device is operated reliably.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The Rules of the Road, Chapter 2, Section 11, 2(2) states: "A person remotely operating a remotely operated small vehicle must operate the remote control device reliably and ensure the vehicle travels at a speed and in a manner that does not endanger others." Since there is an obligation to travel at a speed that does not endanger others, this statement is incorrect.

Exactly. Reliable operation includes keeping it slow enough to stay safe around people.
