What is the difference between actual passenger count and rated passenger capacity in Subject 4?
1 Answers
Rated passenger capacity refers to the theoretical maximum number of passengers allowed, while actual passenger count indicates the real number of passengers carried. In Subject 4, you may encounter questions like: 'A driver operating a large bus with 28 passengers (rated capacity 55) collides with a tractor (rated load 40 tons, actual load 55.2 tons) at an uncontrolled intersection while traveling at 50 km/h.' Here, '28 passengers with rated capacity 55' means the bus is permitted to carry up to 55 passengers, but actually carries only 28, which complies with regulations and doesn't constitute overloading. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's license theory exam, is part of China's motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It mainly covers: safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident procedures. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions presented in case studies, images, animations, etc., with a perfect score of 100 and passing mark of 90.
