The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer: Both I & II<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A driver license is required in both scenarios mentioned in the question because these actions constitute “operating” a motor vehicle under most jurisdictions’ traffic laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Scenario I: Sitting in the driver\u2019s seat of a car while the engine is running<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This action implies control over the vehicle. Even if the car is stationary, starting or running the engine signifies an intent to operate the vehicle. Laws in most jurisdictions classify this as being in “physical control” of a vehicle, which requires a valid driver’s license. The rationale behind this rule is to ensure that anyone with the potential to drive a vehicle meets the legal requirements of knowledge, skill, and responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a driver could move the vehicle accidentally or intentionally while the engine is running. In cases of impairment or lack of a license, this could lead to dangerous outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Scenario II: Steering a car while it is being pushed or towed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Steering a towed or pushed vehicle also requires a driver’s license because it involves active control over the vehicle’s direction. While the car may not be powered by its engine, the person steering must understand traffic laws, proper vehicle handling, and safety protocols to prevent accidents. Without a valid license, the individual is not legally certified to perform this task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if the vehicle being towed drifts or veers into oncoming traffic due to poor steering, the consequences could be catastrophic. Therefore, ensuring that the person steering is a licensed driver mitigates this risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Legal Basis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traffic laws aim to ensure public safety by requiring all operators of motor vehicles, regardless of the method of operation, to hold a valid driver’s license. This ensures accountability, competence, and adherence to the law in situations involving vehicle control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
