Who can demand you to appear at a truck inspection station?
- A traffic officer ✓
- A pedestrian
- A passenger
- A fellow driver
Answer: A. A traffic officer
A traffic officer — a police officer or appointed ministry officer — can require you to appear at a truck inspection station.
Why this is the answer
The truck handbook says any police officer or appointed ministry officer may perform a safety inspection at any time and any location. Those officers may also require you to drive to the nearest inspection station. That authority is given to enforcement officers, not to ordinary road users, so a traffic officer is the correct choice.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. A pedestrian — A pedestrian has no authority under the handbook to stop a commercial vehicle or send it to an inspection station.
- C. A passenger — A passenger does not have inspection authority; only police officers or appointed ministry officers can require you to attend.
- D. A fellow driver — A fellow driver cannot demand that you appear at an inspection station; that authority belongs to police or ministry officers.
Remember it
Think police or ministry enforcement when you think inspection station — not the people sharing the road with you.
