You are driving a group of passengers on an ordinary road, and some of them stand in the aisle dancing and making a commotion that disturbs your driving. What is the correct action for the driver?
💡 Hint
Driving while letting passengers dance or cause a disturbance that seriously hinders safe driving violates the driver's duties (Article 49(1)9 of the Road Traffic Act). Note that this duty falls on the driver, not the passengers.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Article 49(1)9 of the Road Traffic Act forbids driving while leaving passengers to dance or make a commotion inside the car to a degree that seriously hinders safe driving. This duty lies with the driver, so carrying on because it is the passengers' responsibility, or merely slowing down and continuing, is a violation. You should stop the commotion, for example by stopping in a safe place, before driving on.
