Question 2

A vehicle storage location may be secured within 3 kilometers of the principal place of use, in a place other than a road.

A light motor vehicle must be registered and a number plate must be attached.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road, Section 1, 2 states: "Vehicles must be registered (light motor vehicles must be reported) and a number plate must be attached." Light motor vehicles require "reporting," not "registration."

Question 11

The vehicle user must make efforts to ensure that drivers comply with traffic regulations and that safe-driving managers properly manage safe driving practices.

Accepted Answer

The text in "1. Obligations of the User, etc. (1)" clearly states: "The vehicle user must make efforts to ensure that drivers comply with traffic regulations and that safe-driving managers properly manage safe driving practices."

Question 12

Users of emergency vehicles or road maintenance work vehicles must make efforts to provide traffic safety education to drivers in all cases.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The text in "1 (2)" states that users must make efforts to provide traffic safety education to drivers "except when a safe-driving manager is appointed." This requirement does not apply in all cases—it excludes situations where a safe-driving manager is already in place.

Question 13

Which of the following driver violations is NOT explicitly stated in the text as a reason for the user to be ordered by the Public Safety Commission to take measures to prevent recurrence?

Accepted Answer

D: Unlicensed driving

The text in "1 (4)" explicitly lists three violations that trigger orders from the Public Safety Commission: "(a) Maximum speed violations," "(b) Overloading violations," and "(c) Fatigued driving." Unlicensed driving is not included in this list.

Answer

Maximum speed violations

Answer

Overloading violations

Answer

Fatigued driving

Answer

Unlicensed driving

Question 14

A vehicle user who has been ordered to pay a parking violation fine may be subject to a penalty that prohibits operating that vehicle for a certain period if the user has previously been ordered to pay a parking violation fine.

Accepted Answer

✓ True

If a vehicle user who has previously been ordered to pay a parking-violation fine (a fine charged to the registered user when the actual driver cannot be identified) is ordered to pay one again, they may face a use-ban on that vehicle for a set period. In plain terms: repeated parking offences by the same user trigger a use restriction on the car itself (Road Traffic Act §51-4).

Question 15

Which of the following criteria for appointing a safe-driving manager is correct?

Accepted Answer

B: One vehicle with a passenger capacity of 11 or more

The text in "2 (1)" clearly states: "One or more vehicles with a passenger capacity of 11 or more; or five or more other vehicles (large motorcycles and ordinary motorcycles are each counted as 0.5 vehicles)."

Answer

One vehicle with a passenger capacity of 10 or more

Answer

One vehicle with a passenger capacity of 11 or more

Answer

Four or more other vehicles

Answer

Large motorcycles and ordinary motorcycles are each counted as one vehicle

Question 16

A deputy safe-driving manager must be appointed at workplaces that use 15 or more vehicles.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The text in "2 (2)" specifies that a deputy safe-driving manager must be appointed "at workplaces that use 20 or more vehicles (large motorcycles and ordinary motorcycles are each counted as 0.5 vehicles)." The requirement is 20 or more vehicles, not 15.

Question 17

Safe-driving managers are required to provide traffic safety education to drivers.

Accepted Answer

✓ True

The text in "2 (3) (a)" explicitly lists "providing traffic safety education" as one of the duties that safe-driving managers must reliably perform.

Question 18

Safe-driving managers must retain records of alcohol screening confirmations made with an alcohol detector for six months.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The text in "2 (3) (g)" specifies that confirmations must be "made using an alcohol detector, and those records must be retained for one year." The retention period is one year, not six months.

Question 19

Which of the following actions is NOT explicitly stated in the text as something that vehicle owners or safe-driving managers must not order drivers to do or tolerate?

Accepted Answer

C: Overloading violations

Items (a)-(f) of "2(5)" explicitly list "unlicensed driving," "maximum speed violations," and "drunk or alcohol-impaired driving." Item (e), however, reads "driving a vehicle in violation of loading restrictions" - the exact term "overloading violations" does not appear in the text. Therefore this is the correct answer.

Answer

Unlicensed driving

Answer

Maximum speed violations

Answer

Overloading violations

Answer

Drunk driving or alcohol-impaired driving

Question 20

Designated driver service operators must appoint a safe-driving manager at each of their business offices.

Accepted Answer

✓ True

The text in "2 (1)" clearly states: "Designated driver service operators must appoint a safe-driving manager at each of their business offices."

Question 21

Vehicle owners must secure a parking space within 2 kilometers of their home.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road state "within 2 kilometers of the base of use, such as your address." It is not "home" but the "base of use," and as an exception, the actual place of use, such as a business office, may be the base.

Question 22

Businesses required to designate a safe-driving manager are limited, in all cases, to those using five or more vehicles.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road require a safe-driving manager for a single vehicle when its passenger capacity is 11 or more (e.g. buses, minibuses), and for five or more of other vehicles. Since the obligation can arise with fewer than five vehicles when the capacity is 11 or more, the phrase "in all cases, five or more" is incorrect.

Question 23

A friend said "it's just a short trip, so it's fine," so I lent my vehicle to a friend whose license was suspended but who has driving skills, to go to a nearby convenience store.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road state "do not lend your vehicle to unlicensed people or people who have been drinking," and driving while a license is suspended is considered unlicensed driving. Regardless of distance or reason, this is a violation, and the vehicle owner is also subject to penalties.

Question 24

An employee was rushing a delivery and exceeded the speed limit by 30 km/h, but since no accident occurred, I as the employer have no responsibility.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road state that for speeding violations, the Public Safety Commission may issue instructions to the employer to prevent recurrence, and repeated violations may result in vehicle use restrictions. Employer responsibility applies regardless of whether an accident occurred.
