CDL · School bus (CDL)
Once you have chosen how the bus will be evacuated, what is the very next thing you should do?
Correct answer: Secure the bus where it is stopped.
Answer options
- ASecure the bus where it is stopped Correct
- BHang the radio microphone out the window
- CNotify dispatch about the evacuation
Why
Securing the bus comes right after you pick the evacuation method: shift into Park, or into Neutral if there is no Park position, set the parking brakes, shut off the engine, take out the key, and turn on the hazard flashers. Calling dispatch and hanging the microphone out the window come later.
