Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations firmly establish that a motor vehicle must not be driven with its doors open, and that its doors must not be opened before it has come to a complete stop. In passenger transport by bus, all service and emergency doors must remain properly closed at all times while the vehicle is moving, to guarantee the safety of the users and prevent falls or serious accidents. Therefore, no circumstance of thermal discomfort, mechanical breakdown or passenger complaint justifies driving with the doors open, regardless of whether it is an urban or interurban service.
