CDL · Passenger vehicles
Which habit is recommended while you are driving a bus?
Correct answer: Regularly checking the passenger area and the road around you.
Answer options
- ARegularly checking the passenger area and the road around you Correct
- BKeeping your eyes only about 5 to 7 seconds ahead of the bus
- CFocusing only on the traffic moving alongside the bus
Why
A bus driver has to keep track of the riders as well as the traffic, so checking the interior and the area around the bus on a regular basis is a good habit. Watching only the vehicles beside you is too narrow, and drivers should look roughly 12 to 15 seconds ahead rather than 5 to 7.
