Question 5402
In a passenger car with nine seats, including the driver's seat, can nine minors ride in it?
- No, because it would exceed the authorized number of seats.
- Only if the children are under 12 years old.
- Yes, as long as the driver is their father, mother or legal guardian.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because it would exceed the authorized number of seats.
No. The nine seats include the driver's seat, so there is room for the driver and eight passengers. Each child takes up one seat, just like an adult, and nine children would make ten people in total. Whether their father is driving or the children are small does not change the count.
