Question 1

A passenger requests that you drive through a school zone at 35 mph during school hours. The posted limit is 15 mph. What do you do?

Maintain the 15 mph school zone speed limit regardless of passenger requests

School zone speed limits are legally enforced and a driver cannot exceed them at a passenger's request.

Question 2

You notice that a regular passenger has been making increasingly personal remarks and appears to be developing an unhealthy attachment. What is the professional response?

Accepted Answer

Maintain professional boundaries, limit personal conversation, and report the behavior to dispatch if it escalates

Answer

Taxi drivers must maintain professional boundaries and escalate concerns through proper channels.

Question 3

A passenger directs you to a poorly lit industrial area late at night and then asks you to stop, claiming this is their destination. You feel unsafe. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Trust your instincts, keep driving to a well-lit area, and contact dispatch or 911 while staying calm

Answer

Driver safety is paramount; moving to a safer location before stopping is appropriate when danger is perceived.

Question 4

A passenger is clearly under the influence of alcohol and asks to be driven to a bar to continue drinking. What is the correct response?

Accepted Answer

Transport the passenger safely to their requested destination since it is a legal location

Answer

A passenger's legal destination cannot be refused; an intoxicated passenger going to a bar is not grounds for refusal as long as they are not disruptive.

Question 5

Your GPS indicates a bridge is closed, but the passenger insists the bridge is open because they crossed it earlier today. What should you do?

Verify the situation by approaching the bridge or checking real-time traffic alerts, then make a safe routing decision
