What should you do when you're driving a coach at night and you have passengers on board?
- A Stop more often
- B Switch off the radio
- C Keep the interior lit
- D Close the curtains
Why this is the answer
Passengers should be able to move about the vehicle in safety. You should make sure that all interior lights are in working order before you start your journey.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Stop more often — More stops is a tiredness measure, not a night-time one.
- B
- Switch off the radio — The radio is a comfort question and has nothing to do with darkness.
- D
- Close the curtains — Closing the curtains makes it darker still inside.
