Sample Alaska Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

Which item is not among the bus-interior components specifically listed as needing to be in safe working condition?

  1. A. Handholds and railings
  2. B. Floor covering
  3. C. Emergency exit handles
  4. D. Air conditioning

Correct answer: D. – Air conditioning

The Alaska CDL manual lists every handhold and railing, the floor covering, passenger signaling devices, and emergency exit handles as parts that must be in safe working condition. It also requires seats to be secure and safe for riders. Air conditioning is not included in this particular safety-component list.

Question 2

If a bus leans toward the outside while traveling through a banked curve, what does that indicate?

  1. A. The bus is traveling too fast
  2. B. The bus should be accelerated
  3. C. The brakes should be applied sharply
  4. D. The parking brake should be used

Correct answer: A. – The bus is traveling too fast

An outward lean on a banked curve indicates that the bus is traveling too fast for the curve. Excessive speed can cause the bus to roll over when traction is good or slide off the road when traction is poor. The proper approach is to reduce speed before entering the curve rather than braking sharply while turning.

Question 3

Which method provides the best vehicle control when driving through a curve?

  1. A. Brake continuously throughout the curve
  2. B. Accelerate hard throughout the curve
  3. C. Slow to a safe speed before the curve, select the proper gear, and accelerate slightly through it
  4. D. Slow before the curve and coast through it

Correct answer: C. – Slow to a safe speed before the curve, select the proper gear, and accelerate slightly through it

Reduce to a safe speed before entering the curve because braking while turning can lock the wheels and cause a skid. Select a gear that permits slight acceleration through the curve. This keeps power applied to the drive wheels and provides better control than coasting or braking continuously.

Question 4

Which condition must a bus driver verify before pulling away from a stop and merging into traffic?

  1. A. A gap is large enough for the bus to accelerate and merge safely
  2. B. The shoulder is long enough to use as an acceleration lane
  3. C. Another driver has flashed the vehicle’s headlights
  4. D. Convex mirrors show no vehicles anywhere beside the bus

Correct answer: A. – A gap is large enough for the bus to accelerate and merge safely

The driver must know how large a gap the bus needs to accelerate and merge with traffic. The manual directs the driver to wait for that gap to open before leaving the stop. Signaling or beginning to move does not replace the need to verify that adequate space is available.

Question 5

When may an emergency roof hatch be secured in a partly open position?

  1. A. When using the hatch to provide fresh air
  2. B. Whenever the bus is moving slowly
  3. C. As the normal position during operation
  4. D. Only while servicing the engine

Correct answer: A. – When using the hatch to provide fresh air

The Alaska CDL manual permits some emergency roof hatches to be secured partly open for fresh air. They should not routinely be left open. When a hatch is open, the driver must remember that the bus has greater vertical clearance and must account for that added height.

Question 6

Which group of items belongs in the interior inspection of a bus?

  1. A. Air hose couplings, tires, and exterior reflectors
  2. B. Steering linkage, headlights, and windshield wipers
  3. C. Floor covering, emergency-exit handles, and handholds
  4. D. Tires, suspension parts, and exhaust components

Correct answer: C. – Floor covering, emergency-exit handles, and handholds

Before driving, inspect the passenger area for damage and unsafe conditions. Handholds, railings, floor coverings, signaling devices, and emergency-exit handles must be in safe working condition. Seats must also be securely fastened, and aisles and stairwells should remain clear.
