Ch. 9 · Passenger & Substitute
While working as a taxi driver, I became unable to pick up passengers because I was going to take a lunch break, but I left the off-duty sign inside the vehicle without displaying it.
[True / False · Medium]
Answer: ✕ False
Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that taxi drivers must display the off-duty sign when they cannot pick up passengers due to meals or breaks. Leaving it inside the vehicle does not constitute displaying it and misleads passengers, so this is inappropriate.
