2. When should a driver sign a vehicle inspection report?
  1. After every trip
  2. If noted defects are repaired ✓
  3. After each fueling

Answer: B. If noted defects are repaired

A driver should sign the vehicle inspection report if noted defects are repaired or certified as not needing repair. The handbook ties your signature to defect certification, not to completing a trip or stopping for fuel. It says a written inspection report may be required each day, and the motor carrier must fix any safety-related items listed and certify that repairs were done or were not needed. You sign the report only when defects were noted and that certification exists. The passenger-bus section repeats the same idea for reviewing the previous driver's report. That is why the signing point is after noted defects are repaired or cleared.

5. 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 the students to approach. ✓
  2. Turning on the alternating red lights.
  3. Pulling over to the side of the road.

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

The driver should make sure all surrounding traffic has stopped before opening the door and signaling the students to approach. The handbook tells school bus drivers to make a final check that all traffic has stopped before completely opening the door and signaling students to approach. That places the traffic check right before the door opens and before students are given the signal to come toward the bus. It connects directly to the action of letting students approach, so the driver does not invite them forward until surrounding traffic is stopped.
