2. True - Rickshaw drivers typically stop wherever you want, within reason.
3. True - You must respect road signs when cycling for safety.

7. True - Aeroplanes consume fossil fuels as a source of energy for propulsion.
8. True - The 'Knowledge' is a test that London taxi drivers (not metro drivers) must pass to demonstrate their knowledge of London's streets and routes.

Answer 3

Let's go through each statement:

1. True - You can ride in a longtail boat in Thailand. Longtail boats are a popular mode of transportation in Thailand, especially in areas with waterways.

2. False - The statement "The rickshaw driver will stop wherever you want" is generally false. While rickshaw drivers may stop at certain designated locations or at your request, they may not always stop wherever you want, especially if it's not safe or convenient.

3. True - You must respect road signs when cycling. This is a general rule of road safety, and cyclists are expected to follow road signs and signals just like any other road user.

4. True - In the UK, you generally have to be 18 years old to ride a motorcycle. There are specific age and licensing requirements for different types of motorcycles and mopeds.

5. True - In Almaty, Kazakhstan, it often drops below -10°C during the winter. Almaty experiences cold winters, and temperatures below -10°C are not uncommon.

6. False - You should regularly check your bike's brakes and tires for safety reasons. Neglecting to do so can lead to accidents and injuries. It is important to maintain your bicycle properly.

7. True - Aeroplanes consume fossil fuels for propulsion. While there are efforts to develop more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aviation technologies, the majority of commercial aircraft still rely on fossil fuels.

8. True - The "Knowledge" is a test that taxi drivers in London, particularly those driving black cabs, are required to pass. It tests their knowledge of London streets and routes and is a rigorous examination for taxi drivers.

So, statements 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 are true, while statements 2 and 6 are false.
