CDL · School bus (CDL)
Which of these emergencies makes it necessary to get the students off the bus?
Correct answer: A tornado.
Answer options
- AAn earthquake
- BA lightning strike
- CA tornado Correct
Why
A tornado cannot be outrun and its path is hard to predict, so students should leave the bus and take shelter in a sturdy building, or, if none is close, lie face down in a ditch with their hands over their heads, away from bridges and overpasses. In a lightning storm, by contrast, students are safer staying aboard, away from the sides of the bus.
