When may the built-in TV and video equipment be used on a coach?
- A When the coach is moving slowly
- B When it cannot be seen by the driver
- C During long motorway journeys
- D During a coach tour
Why this is the answer
To prevent drivers from becoming distracted, TV or video equipment must be out of their sight. While passengers are being entertained, they can be sure the driver is concentrating on delivering them safely to their destination.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- When the coach is moving slowly — Speed is not the issue. What matters is whether the driver can see the screen.
- C
- During long motorway journeys — A motorway is where the driver most needs an undistracted view.
- D
- During a coach tour — A tour is exactly when it would be used, and the rule still turns on the driver's sight line.
Where this comes from
- Driving Buses and Coaches — section 7

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
