DVSA-style practice question · Vehicle Loading ## The answer options - Only if all the seats in the towing vehicle are full - Yes, if they're over 16 - Only if a stabiliser is fitted - No, not at any time**Correct** ## Why that is the answer It is illegal and extremely dangerous for anyone to travel inside a caravan while it is being towed. Caravans are not designed for passengers and lack vital safety equipment like seatbelts and crash protection. Fittings such as stabilisers help with vehicle handling, but they do not make it safe or legal for passengers to ride inside. In line with official safety guidance, all passengers must always travel inside the towing vehicle. ## How this comes up in the real test Questions from vehicle loading appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves. The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
