Sample Florida Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

When may a passenger bus be driven with an emergency exit door open?

  1. A When passengers request additional ventilation
  2. B When the passenger compartment is hot
  3. C When the bus will travel only a short distance
  4. D Never

Correct answer: D – Never

A bus must not be driven with an emergency exit door or window open. Before driving, emergency exits should be closed, their handles should be in safe working condition, and the emergency-exit markings must remain visible. Some roof hatches may be secured partly open for ventilation, but that separate guidance does not authorize driving with an emergency exit door or window open.

Question 2

What should a bus driver understand about an advisory speed posted for a curve?

  1. A It may be too low for a bus
  2. B It applies only to passenger cars
  3. C It guarantees that every bus can safely take the curve
  4. D It may be too high for a bus

Correct answer: D – It may be too high for a bus

Florida’s CDL manual warns that a curve’s posted speed may be suitable for cars in good weather but too high for many buses. At excessive speed, a bus with good traction may roll over; with poor traction, it may slide off the curve. The driver must reduce speed as needed for the bus, roadway, weather, and traction conditions.

Question 3

A bus leaning toward which side of a banked curve indicates that its speed is too high?

  1. A The inside of the curve
  2. B The front of the bus
  3. C The rear of the bus
  4. D The outside of the curve

Correct answer: D – The outside of the curve

A bus that leans toward the outside of a banked curve is traveling too fast for that curve. Buses have a higher center of gravity than most passenger cars and are more vulnerable to rollover. Drivers should enter curves slowly enough to avoid excessive outward lean and should not rely on an advisory speed as a guarantee of safe bus operation.

Question 4

In the legacy terminology appearing in Florida’s CDL manual, what does ORM-D stand for?

  1. A Other Required Materials—Dangerous
  2. B Other Regulated Materials—Dangerous
  3. C Other Required Materials—Domestic
  4. D Other Regulated Materials—Domestic

Correct answer: D – Other Regulated Materials—Domestic

ORM-D expands to “Other Regulated Materials—Domestic.” It is legacy terminology rather than a current highway-shipping classification. Federal rules completed the phaseout of ORM-D highway shipments after December 31, 2020; qualifying packages are now prepared under the applicable limited-quantity requirements.

Question 5

At a destination or intermediate stop, which information should a bus driver announce?

  1. A The location and reason for stopping only
  2. B The next departure time and bus number only
  3. C The location, reason for stopping, next departure time, and bus number
  4. D The destination and current weather

Correct answer: C – The location, reason for stopping, next departure time, and bus number

Florida’s CDL manual directs the driver to announce the location, reason for the stop, next departure time, and bus number at destinations and intermediate stops. These details help passengers understand why the bus has stopped and when it will leave again. The bus number helps riders identify the correct vehicle when several buses are present.

Question 6

Before moving a passenger bus, what must be true of its emergency exit doors and windows?

  1. A They may remain open in low-speed areas
  2. B They may remain open with a supervisor’s approval
  3. C Only the rear emergency exit must be closed
  4. D They must be closed

Correct answer: D – They must be closed

Never drive a bus with an emergency exit door or window open. During the pre-trip inspection, close open emergency exits and verify that the handles, warning devices, and related safety equipment work properly. Authorization from a supervisor, low speed, or a short trip does not change this operational safety rule.
