CDL · School bus (CDL)
You are loading students, and one who was standing outside the bus is now nowhere in sight. How should you handle it?
Correct answer: Secure the bus, keep the key with you, and look around and under it.
Answer options
- AAsk the riders if they saw the student, then continue on
- BSecure the bus, keep the key with you, and look around and under it Correct
- CWatch the mirrors for a moment, then close the door and go
Why
The missing student could be next to or beneath the bus, so the bus must not be able to move while you search. Secure it, carry the ignition key so no one can start it, and check all around and underneath before going on.
