School Bus Practice Question 10

SSchool Bus · Question 10

When students cross the road in front of the bus, the driver should:

• AHonk to hurry them
• BVisually confirm they cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus, in the driver's line of sight
• CDrive forward to encourage them
• DLook only at the mirrors

Correct answer: B. Visually confirm they cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus, in the driver's line of sight

Why: Direct students to walk far enough in front to be seen — at least 10 feet (carriers may require 12 or more). Make eye contact and confirm before releasing the brake.

How this question fits the School Bus test

Study technique for this topic

Know the dimensions of the front, side, and rear danger zones, the proper eight-light activation sequence, and the emergency evacuation procedure including front-door, rear-door, and split evacuations.
