CDL · School bus (CDL)
When would keeping students aboard the bus generally be the safer choice?
Correct answer: When a thunderstorm is passing through.
Answer options
- AWhen the bus is stuck on railroad tracks
- BWhen a thunderstorm is passing through Correct
- CWhen the bus has caught fire
Why
If lightning hits a school bus, its metal body carries the current around the passengers and into the ground, so students are usually safer staying inside during a thunderstorm. A fire, a stall on railroad tracks or an approaching tornado, on the other hand, calls for getting everyone off quickly.
