Not enough to pass :-(

Ouch! While you were on a roll there for a few questions, you didn’t pass this time. But I know this test, and I think you’ll pass next time. Really.

1. Which of the following is not acceptable emergency equipment?
Three red reflective triangles
Six fuses
Three liquid burning flares
Four yellow squares

During the vehicle inspection test, you will need to show emergency equipment, including spare electrical fuses; three red reflective triangles, six fuses, or three liquid burning flares; and a properly charged and rated fire extinguisher.

2. If driving a school bus, your four-way flashers should:
Be activated before crossing railroad tracks.
Never be used.
Only be used after crossing railroad tracks.
Only be used near railroad tracks if a train is approaching.

When driving a school bus, you must activate your four-way flashers while approaching and crossing a railroad crossing. Deactivate the flashers once your entire vehicle has cleared the tracks.

3. When boarding a school bus, students should:
Be in a single-file line.
Be in pairs.
Not use the handrail.

Students should board a school bus slowly and in a single-file line. For safety, boarding students should use the handrail.

4. If asked to sight-side back your vehicle into an alley, you should first:
Pull directly into the alley parking space.
Turn your vehicle to the right to position yourself directly in front of the alley.
Pull past the alley and stop perpendicular to the outer boundary.
Pull past the alley and stop parallel to the outer boundary.

If you are asked to alley dock, you should first pull past the alley and stop your vehicle in a position that is parallel to the outer boundary. From there, you should back your vehicle entirely into the alley parking area. Your vehicle should be parked in a straight position within the boundaries of the parking space.

5. School buses:
Are never equipped with ABS.
Are only equipped with ABS if students who are younger than 10 years of age will be on the bus.
May be equipped with ABS.

In general, school buses manufactured after 1998 or 1999 must be equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Many older buses are equipped with ABS as well.

6. At a passive railroad crossing:
The decision to proceed rests with each driver.
The decision to proceed should be based on a control device.
The decision to proceed should be based on surrounding vehicles.
The decision to proceed is left to passengers in each vehicle.

Passive railroad crossings are not controlled by any traffic control devices. At such crossings, it is entirely a driver's responsibility to determine when it is safe to cross the tracks.

7. During the vehicle inspection test, you must be able to adequately check all of the following, except:
The power steering belt.
The water compressor belt.
The alternator belt.

During the pre-trip vehicle inspection test, you will be asked to check the power steering, water pump, alternator, and air compressor belts, if the vehicle is equipped.

8. When asked to make a lane change during the driving test, you should:
Make the change as soon as the examiner asks, without looking.
Use your turn signal and change lanes when safe.
Make the lane change as quickly as possible, even if that means cutting off another driver.

You will be asked to change lanes during the on-road driving test. When the examiner asks you to do this, you should make the necessary traffic checks and use the proper signals before changing lanes.

9. The inside rearview mirror of a school bus is used to:
Moniter passengers.
See potential hazards on the road.
See vehicles trying to switch lanes.
See in front of the bus.

On a school bus, the overhead inside rearview mirror is used to monitor passenger activity inside the bus.

10. During a basic vehicle control skills test, you may be asked to:
Parallel park.
Inspect your tires.
Monitor your gauges.
Pull forward into a parking space.

Maneuvers that may be included in the basic vehicle control skills test include straight line backing, offset back/right parking, offset back/left parking, driver side parallel parking, conventional parallel parking, and alley docking.

11. If a bus stalls on a railroad track, the driver should:
Evacuate the bus and get everyone far away from the tracks.
Keep everyone inside the bus and try to wave the train down to make it stop.
Keep everyone inside the bus and wait for help.
Keep everyone inside the bus and call a tow truck.

If a school bus becomes stalled or trapped on railroad tracks, the driver should immediately evacuate everyone from the bus. To best avoid flying debris from the bus being struck by a train, the students should be led far away from the bus at an angle that is in the direction of any oncoming train.

12. When conducting a vehicle inspection, you will need to identify all of the following, except:
The power steering belt.
The water pump belt.
The alternator belt.
The water compressor belt.

During the vehicle inspection test, you must check the power steering belt, water pump belt, alternator belt, and air compressor belt for snugness, cracks, or frays. If any of these components are not belt-driven, you must tell the examiner which one(s), and verify that they are operating properly, mounted securely, and not damaged or leaking.

13. If the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is malfunctioning:
You will not have any brakes.
You will still have brakes.
You should only use the parking brake to stop.
You should stop driving and wait for the ABS to work again.

An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is in place as an addition to a braking system. It intervenes to prevent brakes from locking up during hard braking. If ABS is not working, the basic braking functions on a vehicle will still remain, so the driver can continue to drive and brake normally.

14. When students board a bus, they should:
Sit in the back row first.
Sit in the back row only after all other seats are filled.
Be seated as far from the driver as possible.

Students should not occupy the back row of a school bus unless the bus is full. The closer to the front of a bus that students are seated, the safer they will be in the event of a rear-end collision. Students with special needs should sit near the driver.

15. ABS helps you:
Lock up the wheels.
Keep the wheels from locking up.
Count the number of students boarding the bus.
Predict the weather.

An Ant-Lock Braking System (ABS) helps stop a vehicle's wheels from locking up during hard brake applications.

16. When taking the on-road driving test, you will be evaluated on your lane usage. Which of the following is an example of poor lane usage?
Not driving over curbs or sidewalks
Stopping behind crosswalks
Driving in the leftmost lane if more than one driving lane is available
Finishing a right turn in the rightmost lane

During the on-road driving skills test, make sure you do not put your vehicle over curbs, sidewalks, or lane markings. Stop behind stop lines, crosswalks, or stop signs. On multiple-lane roads, complete turns in the proper lane. Always move to or remain in the rightmost lane, unless the lane is blocked.

17. In the event of a bus evacuation, students should be led at least ____ away from the road.
10 feet
20 feet
50 feet
100 feet

If it is necessary to evacuate a school bus, students should be led by the driver in the direction of oncoming traffic to a safe location that is at least 100 feet off the road. This will help to ensure that they are not hit by flying debris if another vehicle hits the bus.

18. When crossing railroad tracks, you should:
Stop on the tracks.
Change gears.
Try to pass.
Stay in your lane.

When crossing railroad tracks during the on-road driving skills test, you must not stop, switch gears, pass another vehicle, or change lanes while any part of your vehicle is in the crossing.

19. During the steering box portion of the vehicle inspection test, you should not:
Ensure that the steering box is securely mounted.
Ensure that the steering box is free of leaks.
Look for missing bolts in the steering box.
Assume all cotter keys are present.

Before a trip, ensure that the steering box is securely mounted. Check for missing nuts, bolts, and cotter keys. Be sure that there are no power steering fluid leaks and that there is no damage to power steering hoses.

20. When should a bus start moving after students have boarded?
As soon as the students are through the door
When the students are near their seats but are still standing
When the students are seated and looking forward
As soon as the students cross the standee line

Once students have boarded a school bus, the driver should wait to move the bus until all of the passengers are seated and looking forward.
