CDL - Commercial Driver's License Passenger Transport Practice Test 1

Question 1

What is the standee line marked on a bus floor, and what rule applies to it?

Accepted Answer

A boundary behind which standing passengers must remain while the bus is in motion

Answer

The standee line shows the forward limit for standing passengers. No standee may stand ahead of this line while the bus is moving, keeping them away from the driver and the doorway for safety.

Question 2

A passenger on your bus becomes disruptive and refuses to follow your safety instructions. What is the proper course of action?

Accepted Answer

Stop at the safest available location and discharge the passenger if necessary

Answer

A bus driver has the authority and responsibility to discharge a disruptive passenger, but must do so at a safe location — not in the middle of traffic or a dangerous area. Safety of all passengers comes first.

Question 3

On a controlled-access (limited-access) highway, when is a bus driver permitted to stop to discharge passengers?

Accepted Answer

Only at designated stops or safe areas approved for that purpose

Answer

Federal regulations prohibit stopping on controlled-access highways to pick up or discharge passengers except at designated locations. Stopping on a freeway shoulder exposes passengers to extreme danger.

Question 4

When approaching a drawbridge that has no traffic control signal and no bridge tender on duty, what must a bus driver do?

Accepted Answer

Stop no closer than 50 feet from the draw of the bridge and confirm it is safe before crossing

Answer

CDL regulations require drivers to stop at least 50 feet before an uncontrolled drawbridge and verify that the draw is fully down and locked before crossing — a bridge that looks down may not be secured.

Question 5

A CDL passenger vehicle driver should avoid fueling the bus while passengers are on board because:

Accepted Answer

Fuel vapors and potential ignition sources pose a fire risk to passengers who cannot quickly evacuate

Answer

While not an absolute ban in all situations, drivers should avoid fueling with passengers on board whenever possible because spilled fuel or vapors near passengers who may not exit quickly creates a serious fire hazard.
