Question 4559
As a general rule, the occupants of a vehicle must enter it from...
- either side, provided they do not obstruct other road users.
- the side farthest from the edge of the road, with the vehicle stopped.
- the side closest to the edge of the road, with the vehicle stationary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the side closest to the edge of the road, with the vehicle stationary.
As a general rule, you must get into a vehicle on the side closest to the edge of the road, once it has come to a complete stop. This keeps you off the roadway, where other vehicles are passing. That is what the child in the image is doing, getting into the taxi from the sidewalk. You cannot use just any side, even if you do not obstruct anyone, and the side farthest from the edge faces the roadway.
