CDL · School bus (CDL)
A school bus driver is required to order an evacuation in which of these situations?
Correct answer: The bus is burning or could catch fire.
Answer options
- AThe bus is running 20 minutes late on its route
- BA student is shouting and bothering the others
- CThe bus is burning or could catch fire Correct
Why
A fire or the threat of one is among the conditions that make evacuation mandatory, along with a stall on or next to a railroad crossing, a bus position that could shift and increase the danger, an imminent collision, and a hazardous materials spill that calls for a fast exit. Running late or a misbehaving student is never a reason to evacuate.
