CDL · School bus (CDL)
When students get off at a roadside stop, what should you tell them to do for their safety?
Correct answer: Move at least 10 to 15 feet out from the bus's side.
Answer options
- ACross the road behind the bus once it has stopped
- BMove at least 10 to 15 feet out from the bus's side Correct
- CWait right beside the door until the bus pulls away
Why
The space right beside a school bus is a danger zone where the driver may not see a child. Students who walk 10 to 15 feet or more out from the bus's side are where the driver can see them clearly, and those who must cross the road do so in front of the bus, never behind it.
