New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road safety

May passengers travel in the tray of a utility, the boot, or a trailer or caravan?

The answer

  • No — nobody may travel in an area of the vehicle not designed for passengers Correct
  • Yes, if they are over 16
  • Yes, if the vehicle stays under 60 km/h
  • Yes, for short trips on quiet roads

Why that's the answer

No-one may travel in an area of the vehicle not designed for passengers — the boot, the floor, the tray of a ute, a trailer or a caravan. The driver must also make sure no passenger has any part of their body outside the vehicle.
