      The trip must be estimated to exceed 10 miles and use the meter

    • C.

      The customer had better have a good story to expect the driver to take less than what is normally due for the ride

    • D.

      The trip must be within the city limits

    Correct Answer
    A. The trip must be estimated to exceed 5 miles and the meter is used
    Explanation
    The requirement for a driver to negotiate a fare or flat rate lower than the metered rate before beginning a trip is that the trip must be estimated to exceed 5 miles and the meter is used. This means that if the estimated distance of the trip is less than 5 miles, the driver cannot negotiate a lower fare and must charge the metered rate. However, if the estimated distance is more than 5 miles, the driver and customer can negotiate a lower fare before starting the trip. The use of the meter ensures that the fare is still calculated accurately based on the actual distance traveled.

    • A.

      Report it to the police department

    • B.

      Take article back to last destination address

    • C.

      Take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company having a lost and found facility

    • D.

      Look for identification to determine ownership

    Correct Answer
    C. Take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company having a lost and found facility
    Explanation
    When a chauffeur finds any package, article, baggage, or goods left in the vehicle, the proper procedure is to take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company that has a lost and found facility. This ensures that the item is safely stored and can be returned to its rightful owner. Reporting it to the police department may not be necessary unless the item is suspicious or potentially dangerous. Taking the article back to the last destination address may not be feasible or practical, as the owner may have already left the location. Looking for identification to determine ownership is a good practice, but ultimately, the item should be handed over to the appropriate department or company for safekeeping.

    • D.

      An indirect route is chosen to increase the fare

    Correct Answer
    D. An indirect route is chosen to increase the fare
    Explanation
    Taking an indirect route to increase the fare would be considered wrong because it goes against ethical and professional standards. As a driver, the primary responsibility is to provide efficient and safe transportation to the passenger. Choosing an indirect route solely to increase the fare is dishonest and takes advantage of the passenger's trust. It is important to prioritize the passenger's needs and provide them with the most direct and efficient route possible.
