Hawaii CDL Permit Test - Bus

Students who are about to unload a school bus should remain seated until the driver tells them that it is safe to exit. After exiting the bus, they should walk to a position that is at least 10 feet away from the bus so the driver can clearly see them.

When stopping to pick up students, a school bus driver should ensure that all surrounding traffic has stopped before opening the door and signaling for the students to approach the bus.

It is critical to the safe operation of a school bus that mirrors be properly adjusted. Always check each mirror before operating the bus.

If equipped, a school bus's roof-mounted strobe light should be used when conditions create an environment of limited visibility.

If you are stopped at a railroad crossing and a gate fails to return to its open position after a train passes, call your dispatcher. Do not attempt to drive around the lowered gate.

The overhead inside rearview mirror in a school bus is used to monitor passenger activity inside the bus.

Official school bus routes and stops are established by the local school district. Drivers should never change a stop location without the written approval of an appropriate district official.
