Michigan CDL Permit Test - Bus

When approaching a railroad crossing, buses should stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest track and the driver should look both ways for a train. They should open the forward door if it improves their ability to see or hear an oncoming train.

Crossover mirrors are used to help a driver see the danger zone area directly in front of a school bus. The mirrors should also display the danger zone areas to the left and right sides of the bus, including the area from the front of the bus to the service door.

A school bus driver should not attempt to move a student who has suffered a neck or spinal injury unless the student's life is in immediate danger.

You should always check the adjustment of all your mirrors before operating a school bus.

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

A bus should not be refueled while passengers are on board unless it is absolutely necessary to do so. In particular, a bus with riders on board should never be refueled inside an enclosed building.

The top portion of the overhead inside rearview mirror should be positioned to display the top of the bus's rear window. This mirror positioning should allow the driver to see all of the students on the bus, including the heads of the students sitting immediately behind the driver.
