Ch. 5 · Driving Method

Stopping to let passengers get on or off does not count as parking if it is within 10 minutes.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The text states, 'Stopping to let passengers get on or off, or to load or unload cargo within 5 minutes, does not count as parking.' There is no time limit mentioned for passenger loading and unloading, and the 5-minute condition applies to cargo loading and unloading. This question is an incorrect interpretation.

Ten minutes for passengers sounds about right, doesn't it?

That's the trap. There's no time limit for passengers. The five-minute rule only applies to loading or unloading cargo. This statement is false.

Hikari
Wait, so passenger stops aren't parking at all?
Misaki
Misaki
Correct. Brief passenger loading never counts as parking, but cargo gets the five-minute window.
