CDL · School bus (CDL)
Right before you signal waiting students to come to the bus, what is the final step you must take?
Correct answer: Check one final time that all traffic has stopped.
Answer options
- ACheck one final time that all traffic has stopped Correct
- BCrack the door open so the alternating red lights come on
- CShift into Park or Neutral and set the parking brake
Why
Shifting into Park or Neutral, setting the parking brake and turning on the red lights all come earlier; the very last step is to confirm that every vehicle has actually stopped, because some drivers ignore a school bus's flashing red lights. Only then should you open the door fully and signal students to approach.
