Which of these class of licenses allows you to drive a school-purpose bus?
- Class F
- Class D
- Class B ✓
- Class C
Answer: C. Class B
A Class B licence is the one that lets you drive a school-purpose bus.
Why this is the answer
The truck handbook's legislation section for Class B states plainly that this class is allowed to drive any school-purposes bus, and that it also covers vehicles in classes C, D, E, F and G. So the school bus permission belongs to Class B specifically, while a regular bus falls under a different class. That is the only class in the passages tied to school-purpose buses.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Class F — The passages only mention Class F as a class that a Class B holder may also drive, and never describe what a Class F licence on its own covers.
- B. Class D — The Class D material says that a Class D licence does not permit you to drive a bus carrying passengers.
- D. Class C — Class C is described as allowing you to drive any regular bus, not a school-purpose bus.
Remember it
Picture the school bus parked in the B spot: school bus goes with Class B, regular bus goes with Class C.
