CDL · School bus (CDL)
As you near a student stop on a road with several lanes, where should the bus be positioned?
Correct answer: As far to the right as possible on the traveled part of the road.
Answer options
- AToward the left edge of the lane
- BAs far to the right as possible on the traveled part of the road Correct
- CIn the middle of the lane
Why
When approaching a stop, the CDL manual tells school bus drivers to move as far to the right as possible while staying on the traveled part of the road. Drifting left or holding the middle of the lane leaves the bus farther from the curb where students wait.
