Question

According to section 2 of motor vehicles Act, 1988 the term motor cab means any motor vehicle constructed or adapted to carry not more than

• A. 5 passengers or including the driver
• B. 6 passengers or including the driver
• C. 5 passengers or excluding the driver
• D. 6 passengers or excluding the driver

Hint:

For a 'motorcab' under the MV Act, remember the magic number is 6. The seating capacity is counted *excluding* the driver. So, it's a vehicle for a maximum of 6 passengers + 1 driver.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Section 2(25) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, defines "motorcab". The definition is: "'motorcab' means any motor vehicle constructed or adapted to carry not more than six passengers excluding the driver for hire or reward". The two key elements of this definition are the maximum passenger capacity (six) and the fact that this count does not include the driver.
