Inertial frames are non accelerated frames i.e they move with constant velocity. As the driver in a vehicle is moving with a constant speed, thus the reference frame is an inertial frame. Also the Newtonian mechanics (law's of motion) are applicable only in inertial frame. Thus the assertion is true but the reason is false.

Q. Assertion : The driver in a vehicle moving with a constant speed on a straight road is in a non‐inertial frame of reference. Reason : A reference frame in which Newton’s laws of motion are applicable is non‐inertial.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false
