CDL · School bus (CDL)
Some motorists ignore a school bus's flashing red lights. Because of that, what should you do right before you signal waiting students to come to the bus?
Correct answer: Check once more that all traffic has come to a stop.
Answer options
- AOpen the door fully and wave the students on at once
- BRely on the red lights and stop arm to hold traffic back
- CCheck once more that all traffic has come to a stop Correct
Why
Flashing red lights and an extended stop arm do not guarantee that every driver will stop. One final look to confirm that traffic has halted, before the door is fully opened and students are signaled, keeps them from walking into the path of a car that did not stop.
