Passing Score 16

1. The standee line is:

A line that passengers must stand behind.

A line that passengers must stand on.

A line that should be used as passengers exit the bus.

A line on the outside of a bus.

On a bus designed to carry standing passengers, no passengers may stand in front of the rear of the driver's seat. Any such bus must have a line on the floor, or some other marking, that indicates where passengers may not stand. This is called a standee line.

2. When driving under wet conditions, what does a lack of spray from other vehicles indicate?

Ice has formed on the road.

The pavement is dry.

The spray is caught on the underside of the vehicle.

The tires have soaked up all the moisture.

If the road appears to be wet but the wheels of other vehicles are no longer generating spray, ice has formed on the road. Drive with extra caution when operating on wet or icy roads.

3. When asked to make a turn while taking your driving test, you should:

Use your turn signal, but only if other cars are present.

Check traffic only in the direction of the turn.

Check traffic in all directions.

When asked to make a turn during the on-road driving test, you must check traffic in all directions and use your turn signal.

4. When driving with passengers, a bus driver should:

Engage in conversation with the passengers.

Not engage in conversation with passengers.

Ask passengers to watch out the windows for hazards.

To avoid becoming distracted, a bus driver should not engage in conversation with passengers.

5. During the driving test, when encountering a railroad crossing, you should:

Pass another vehicle on the tracks if the other vehicle is going too slow.

Get out of the vehicle to check for a train.

Not change gears while your vehicle is on the tracks.

During the on-road driving test, do not stop, change gears, pass another vehicle, or change lanes while any part of your vehicle is in a railroad crossing.

6. When are people usually the least alert?

In the morning

In the early evening

Late at night

Most drivers are the least alert at night, especially after midnight. Therefore, crashes due to fatigued driving are more likely at night than any other time of day.

7. When changing lanes, you should:

Move quickly, before other vehicles can enter into the lane.

Move slowly in case another vehicle is in the lane.

Not use a turn signal.

Avoid the right lane.

Always change lanes slowly and smoothly. If there is a vehicle in the other lane that you did not see before beginning to move, they will have more time to react to your vehicle.
