1. 3

2. 5

3. 7

4. 10

The correct answer is: 5

The correct answer is that a truck over 5 tonnes must have a valid 407 transponder to use the Highway 407 Express Toll Route (ETR). This requirement is in place to ensure that larger vehicles, which can cause more wear and tear on the roads and contribute to heavier traffic, are properly registered for tolling purposes. Having a valid transponder allows the vehicle to pass through electronic toll collection points seamlessly, ensuring an efficient and automated process for toll payments. It's important for drivers of trucks over this weight limit to be aware of this regulation to avoid fines and ensure compliance with the tolling system in Ontario. Understanding these requirements is essential for safe and lawful operation on the express toll routes.
