During what situation is it forbidden to have riders on board?

  1. When conducting routine maintenance

  2. When refueling the vehicle

  3. When making brief stops

  4. When checking tire pressure

The correct answer is: When refueling the vehicle

Having riders on board a commercial vehicle is forbidden when refueling the vehicle for safety reasons. During refueling, there is a heightened risk of fire or explosion due to the flammable nature of fuel vapors. If any issues arise, such as the possibility of fuel spills or ignition, having passengers in the vehicle could lead to severe injuries. In contrast, routine maintenance, making brief stops, and checking tire pressure typically do not pose the same immediate risks as refueling. While it is advisable to ensure safety during these activities, they generally allow for the presence of riders if precautions are followed. The prohibition during refueling is a standard safety measure to protect both the passengers and the driver.
