Chapter: Ch. 9 Passenger & Substitute
Section: 本文
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
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.

## Correct 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.

## Driving school curriculum
Stage 2 – Topic 14: Vehicle owner responsibilities and insurance
