Question 7424

Vehicles authorized to carry both people and cargo at the same time must...

  1. be equipped with a special brake system.
  2. be equipped with protection appropriate for the cargo they carry so that it does not injure the occupants.
  3. under no circumstances may people and goods be transported at the same time.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: be equipped with protection appropriate for the cargo they carry so that it does not injure the occupants.

A vehicle allowed to carry people and cargo at the same time needs protection suited to that cargo, like the partition grille in the image. This keeps the cargo from bothering occupants or injuring them if it is thrown forward during sudden braking or a crash. A special braking system is not required.
