You are driving a school bus. You may let passengers on or off the bus only when
- other drivers can see your bus from at least 60 metres in either direction.
- there are at least three metres of road available on the left side of your vehicle.
- they will enter or exit only on the right side.
- all of the above conditions are met. ✓
Answer: D. all of the above conditions are met.
A school bus driver may let passengers on or off only when all of the listed conditions are met: visibility for other drivers from at least 60 metres in either direction, at least three metres of road available on the left, and passengers entering or exiting on the right side.
Why this is the answer
The school bus passage lists the checks before opening the doors: come to a full stop, keep at least three metres of road free on the left, make sure other drivers can see the bus from at least 60 metres in either direction, and have passengers get on or off from the right side only. The three conditions in the choices all appear in that list, so they must all be met.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. other drivers can see your bus from at least 60 metres in either direction. — The 60-metre visibility rule is real, but by itself it is not enough; the school bus passage also requires space on the left and right-side boarding.
- B. there are at least three metres of road available on the left side of your vehicle. — Leaving three metres on the left is required, but it is only one of the listed conditions, not the whole rule.
- C. they will enter or exit only on the right side. — Right-side entry and exit is required, but it is only one of the listed conditions, not the whole rule.
Remember it
For a school bus, run through the door-opening checklist: stopped, left space clear, seen from far enough, and passengers on the right.
