CDL Passenger Transport Practice Test 3

Question 1

Under FMCSA rules, a 'standee line' on a transit bus is a line on the floor indicating:

Accepted Answer

The forward limit of where standing passengers may stand while the bus is moving

Answer

The standee line is a floor marking that standing passengers must remain behind while the bus is in motion, preventing obstruction of the driver's view and quick exit from the front door in an emergency.

Question 2

You are operating a transit bus and a passenger becomes seriously ill. What is your FIRST priority after ensuring your own safety?

Accepted Answer

Pull safely off the road, activate hazard lights, and call for emergency medical assistance

Answer

Driver safety and vehicle control come first, but once safely stopped, activating hazard lights and calling for emergency medical assistance is the correct action. Continuing to drive with a seriously ill passenger risks further harm.

Question 3

Which of the following is TRUE regarding emergency exits on a passenger bus?

Accepted Answer

Emergency exits must be clearly marked and kept unobstructed at all times

Answer

Emergency exits must be clearly marked, operational, and never blocked. They cannot be locked from the inside, and inspecting them is part of the pre-trip inspection, not weekly.

Question 4

When should a bus driver check mirrors while operating in traffic?

Accepted Answer

Every 5–8 seconds as part of a systematic scanning pattern, more frequently in congested areas

Answer

Systematic mirror scanning every 5–8 seconds — and more often in heavy traffic — keeps the driver aware of vehicles in blind spots, following traffic, and pedestrians near the bus.

Question 5

Under FMCSA rules, which passengers are NOT allowed on a bus?

Accepted Answer

Passengers who are so drunk or disorderly that they create a safety hazard

Answer

The CDL manual states that drivers may refuse to transport anyone who is dangerously intoxicated or behaving in a way that threatens other passengers' safety. Age restrictions and food rules are not FMCSA requirements.
