Q1. Must all doors be kept closed while the pupil transport vehicle is in motion?
[Multiple Choice]
A) Only during highway travel
B) True
C) False
D) Only rear doors must be closed
Answer: True
Explanation: Keeping all doors closed while the vehicle is in motion prevents accidental egress
and keeps passengers secure. Saying 'False' would permit doors open while moving, which is
unsafe. The other distractors create partial rules (only certain doors or only in certain conditions)
that do not meet the full safety requirement to keep all doors closed while moving.
Q2. Which of the following equipment items should each pupil transportation
vehicle be fitted with? [Multiple Choice]
A) Class A turn signal lamps, four-way hazard warning signal switch, and rear alternating
flashing school bus red signal lamps
B) Class A turn signal lamps, two-way hazard warning signal switch, front and rear
alternating flashing school bus red signal lamps
C) Class A turn signal lamps, four-way hazard warning warning switch, front and rear
alternating flashing school bus red signal lamps lamps
D) Class A turn signal lamps, two-way hazard warning signal switch, and front alternating
flashing school bus signal lamps
2
, Answer: Class A turn signal lamps, two-way hazard warning signal switch, front and rear
alternating flashing school bus red signal lamps
Explanation: Proper signaling equipment includes both turn signals and hazard controls, plus
alternating front and rear red school bus signal lamps to alert traffic when pupils are entering or
leaving. The distractors omit either the rear or front alternating lamps or replace the two-way
hazard switch with a four-way switch; these variations fail to match the complete equipment set
required for full signaling capability.
Q3. If you feel drowsy while driving, what is the correct immediate action?
[Multiple Choice]
A) Stop and Rest
B) Increase your speed to reach your destination faster
C) Keep driving
D) Slow your speed
Answer: Stop and Rest
Explanation: Drowsiness impairs driving ability; the safe response is to stop driving and rest to
restore alertness. Merely slowing down or attempting to press on can still allow dangerous
impairment, and increasing speed is obviously unsafe. Stopping and resting addresses the root
cause (fatigue) rather than applying partial or risky measures.
Q4. What is the maximum GVWR allowed for a school pupil vehicle? [Multiple
Choice]
A) 3,600
B) 7,600
C) 5,000
D) 10,000
Answer: 7,600
Explanation: The maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) sets the upper limit for vehicle
size and capacity for pupil transport; here that limit is 7,600 pounds. The other numeric choices
are lower or higher figures that do not match the established maximum and therefore would not
meet the regulatory vehicle classification.
Q5. How long must you have held your driver's license continuously before
becoming eligible for a 7D certificate? [Multiple Choice]
A) 1 years
