  1. What must a school bus driver check regarding the fire extinguisher during a pre-trip inspection?

    Answer: That it is the correct type, fully charged, properly mounted, and accessible

    The fire extinguisher must be the correct type (typically dry chemical 2A:10BC), fully charged, securely mounted, and immediately accessible to the driver.

  2. A school bus driver notices during pre-trip that one of the alternating flashing amber warning lights is not working. What should the driver do?

    Answer: Remove the bus from service — amber warning lights are required equipment

    Amber flashing warning lights are required safety equipment; a non-functioning light means the bus must be taken out of service.

  3. What is the correct procedure when a driver discovers a fluid leak under the school bus during pre-trip inspection?

    Answer: Identify the type and location of the leak and remove the bus from service if it involves brake fluid, fuel, or coolant

    Any leak involving brake fluid, fuel, or coolant is a safety defect requiring the vehicle to be taken out of service immediately.

  4. During a pre-trip inspection, how does the driver verify that the school bus body and chassis are structurally sound?

    Answer: By visually and physically checking for cracks, damage, missing bolts, and deformation in the frame and body panels

    The driver must walk around the vehicle inspecting for visible structural damage, cracks in the frame, missing components, and body damage that could affect safety.

  5. What must a driver check regarding student passenger seats during a pre-trip inspection?

    Answer: That all seats are securely fastened to the floor, backrests are intact, and no sharp edges are exposed

    Seats must be securely anchored, structurally sound, and free of sharp edges that could injure students.

  6. What does the driver verify when checking the school bus fuel level during pre-trip inspection?

    Answer: That there is sufficient fuel to complete all scheduled routes without refueling

    The driver must confirm there is enough fuel to complete all assigned routes, since running out of fuel strands students and disrupts service.
