They may be coupled with a light trailer not exceeding 750 kg.

3What is the minimum age requirement to obtain a full Category D driving licence in Moldova, barring special vocational certification exceptions?

A.24 years

B.18 years

C.20 years

D.30 years

Explanation: Under the current licensing age table, the minimum age for full Category D is 24 years. The minimum for subcategory D1 is 21 years; the current table does not state the claimed professional-certificate reduction for full Category D.

4When may a bus driver open the passenger service doors according to Moldovan Road Traffic Regulations?

A.Only after the bus has come to a complete standstill at an authorized stop or terminal

B.While rolling slowly into the stop bay to speed up boarding

C.Whenever passengers request to alight at red traffic signals

D.Whenever approaching a passenger signaling from the roadside between stops

Explanation: RCR strictly mandates that passenger doors must remain firmly closed while the vehicle is in motion. The driver may open the doors only after the bus has come to a complete stop at an authorized passenger stop, terminal, or station.

5What safety interlock is standard on modern public transit buses to prevent driving with open doors?

A.A door-brake interlock that automatically keeps the service brakes applied until all passenger doors are fully closed and latched

B.An engine rev limiter that sets engine RPM to maximum when a door opens

C.An emergency ejection seat system in the driver's cab

D.An automatic horn that sounds continuously whenever the fuel cap is removed

Explanation: Modern buses are equipped with a door-brake interlock (blocare demaraj cu uși deschise) that prevents accelerator actuation and holds the brakes until sensors confirm all passenger doors are fully closed.

6In built-up areas (localități), what obligation do other drivers have towards a route transit bus signaling to leave a designated bus stop (sign 5.38)?

A.Drivers on the adjacent lane must slow down or stop to yield priority to the bus re-entering traffic

B.Drivers must sound their horn and accelerate to pass before the bus pulls out

C.The bus driver has no priority and must wait until all traffic lanes are completely empty

D.Drivers need only yield if the bus is carrying military personnel

Explanation: Under the Moldovan RCR, in localities, drivers of other vehicles must yield right-of-way to public route buses and trolleybuses that are pulling out from marked bus stops. However, the bus driver may only begin moving after ensuring that other drivers are yielding.

7Before pulling out from a marked bus stop in a built-up area, what is the bus driver required to do despite having legal priority?

A.Ensure that approaching drivers are actively slowing down or yielding before pulling into the traffic lane

B.Pull directly into the traffic lane without checking mirrors because priority is absolute

C.Sound the horn three times and close the driver's side window

D.Flash high-beam headlights to force oncoming traffic to stop

Explanation: The RCR specifies that although route buses have priority when departing from designated stops in localities, the bus driver may only take advantage of this right after confirming that approaching drivers have noticed the signal and are yielding way.

8Who is permitted to use a dedicated lane for route public transport indicated by sign 5.34 ('Bandă rezervată vehiculelor de rută')?

A.Public route buses, trolleybuses, and other vehicles explicitly authorized by municipal signage or local traffic regulations

B.Any vehicle carrying two or more occupants at any time of day

C.Heavy commercial goods trucks exceeding 12 tonnes to bypass congestion

D.Motorcycles and mopeds without restriction on all streets

Explanation: Sign 5.34 designates a lane reserved exclusively for scheduled public transit vehicles (buses and trolleybuses). Other vehicles are prohibited from driving or stopping in this lane, except where broken lane markings permit entering to execute a right turn or momentary passenger drop-off.

9When is another driver permitted to enter a dedicated bus lane marked by longitudinal broken line 1.5?

A.Only to execute a right turn at an upcoming intersection, or for a brief passenger drop-off provided it does not impede public transit

B.To overtake slower vehicles on the left during heavy traffic

C.To park the vehicle unattended for up to 15 minutes

D.Whenever driving at speeds exceeding 60 km/h

Explanation: Where a dedicated bus lane is separated by a broken line (1.5), drivers turning right must change into that lane before the turn. They may also enter briefly to pick up or set down passengers along the right curb, provided route buses are not obstructed.

B.Seated capacity plus up to 50% standing passengers in the aisle

C.As many passengers as can fit as long as the gross vehicle weight is not exceeded
