Final answer:

The false statement regarding a Class 2 operator's licence is that they cannot drive a school bus, as they are allowed if the bus has more than 24 passengers and they meet jurisdictional requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the qualifications and restrictions of a driver with a Class 2 operator's licence. Answering which statement is false for such a holder:

  • a) It is true that they can operate a bus with more than 24 passengers.
  • b) They are indeed qualified to drive an ambulance, as ambulances typically require a Class 4 licence and a Class 2 also covers the vehicles in the categories below it.
  • c) This statement is false. A holder of a Class 2 operator's licence can drive a school bus if it has more than 24 passengers, provided they meet any additional criteria set out for school bus drivers in their jurisdiction.
  • d) The statement is misleading as a Class 1 driver's licence typically requires the highest level of training since it covers semi-trailer trucks and all other types of vehicles, which include those covered by Class 2. So a Class 1 driver would generally be considered to have a higher level of training than Class 2 drivers.

Therefore, the false statement about the holder of a Class 2 operator's licence is that they cannot drive a school bus (c).
