Which of the following statements about school buses for children is NOT correct?
Only a reported vehicle may use the paint scheme and signs of a school bus for children, and the law also sets duties such as the operator submitting safe-operation records, displaying that children are on board, and keeping the education certificate in the bus (Articles 52 and 53 of the Road Traffic Act). This question asks for the incorrect statement, so mind the direction of the question.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Article 52(4) of the Road Traffic Act bans unreported vehicles and the like from using paint and markings similar to a school bus for children, and bans driving such vehicles, so the first statement is wrong. Under Article 53(7), the operator must write and keep safe-operation records and submit them every quarter, and under Article 53(1) the sign that children are aboard is used only while driving with them aboard. Under Article 31-2(5) of the Enforcement Decree, the driver's training certificate is kept inside the school bus.
