Questions (4)

1. When making a stop to pick up students, a driver should ensure all surrounding traffic has stopped before:
  1. Opening the door and signaling for students to approach the bus. ✓
  2. Turning on the alternating red lights.
  3. Pulling over to the side of the road.
  4. Braking.

Answer: A. Opening the door and signaling for students to approach the bus.

Before opening the door and signaling students to approach the bus, the driver must make sure all surrounding traffic has stopped. The handbook tells school bus drivers to make a final check that traffic has stopped before fully opening the door and signaling students to come toward the bus. That puts the door-and-signal step after the stop and after checking surrounding traffic. Students should board only when the driver signals, so the driver must confirm it is safe before giving that signal.

2. A vehicle stopped at a green light may indicate that the driver:
  1. Is impaired. ✓
  2. Is colorblind.
  3. Does not know the rules of the road.
  4. Is very patient.

Answer: A. Is impaired.

A vehicle stopped at a green light may indicate that the driver is impaired. The handbook lists stopping at a green light, along with waiting too long at a stop, as stopping at the wrong time. It places that behavior with weaving, drifting, and leaving the road, actions that show a driver is not responding normally to the traffic situation. Among the choices, impairment fits a driver who fails to go on a green signal; the passage does not tie the stop to colorblindness, rule ignorance, or patience.

4. If a traffic light has been green for a long time:
  1. It will probably stay green as you approach.
  2. It is likely broken.
  3. It is likely that the light will soon change to yellow. ✓
  4. It is likely the light will skip yellow and change from green to red.

Answer: C. It is likely that the light will soon change to yellow.

If a traffic light has been green for a long time, expect it to soon change to yellow. The handbook tells drivers to look far ahead and treat a long-lasting green as a sign that the light will probably change before they arrive. It says to start slowing down and be ready to stop. Since the change is expected as you approach, the best match is that yellow is likely coming soon. The manual does not say the light is broken or that it will skip yellow.
