Sample Florida Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

When may a driver sign the previous driver vehicle inspection report if it lists defects?

  1. A When at least one listed repair has been attempted
  2. B When the previous driver is present
  3. C When a mechanic verbally approves the vehicle
  4. D After the report contains certification that the defects were repaired or repair was unnecessary

Correct answer: D – After the report contains certification that the defects were repaired or repair was unnecessary

Federal regulations require the motor carrier or its agent to certify on a report listing defects that the defects were repaired or that repair was unnecessary before the vehicle is operated again. The next driver reviews the required report and signs to acknowledge that review and the certification. The signature is not based merely on the presence of a mechanic or the previous driver.

Question 2

When a passenger bus is required to stop at a railroad crossing, what is the farthest it may stop from the nearest rail?

  1. A 20 feet
  2. B 50 feet
  3. C 70 feet
  4. D 100 feet

Correct answer: B – 50 feet

Federal rules require a covered passenger bus to stop within 50 feet of, but not closer than 15 feet to, the nearest rail at a crossing where a stop is required. Florida’s CDL manual teaches the same 15-to-50-foot stopping range. The driver should stop where there is an adequate view and listen and look in both directions before crossing.

Question 3

What is the standard shape of a hazardous-material warning label on a package?

  1. A Circular
  2. B Diamond-shaped
  3. C Horizontal rectangle
  4. D Triangular

Correct answer: B – Diamond-shaped

Hazardous-material package labels are commonly described as diamond-shaped. Federal specifications define them as square-on-point labels, generally at least 100 millimeters on each side unless an authorized size exception applies. Their standardized shape, colors, symbols, and class numbers help drivers and emergency responders recognize the material’s hazards.

Question 4

Before signing a prior driver vehicle inspection report that lists defects, what must the next driver verify?

  1. A That the entire bus has been repainted and reinspected
  2. B That the report contains certification of repair or that repair was unnecessary
  3. C That all minor defects have been removed from the report
  4. D That the previous driver has signed a second time

Correct answer: B – That the report contains certification of repair or that repair was unnecessary

A report listing defects must contain the motor carrier’s or agent’s certification that the defects were repaired or that repair was unnecessary before the vehicle is operated again. The next driver must review the required report and sign to acknowledge that review and certification. The driver must also be satisfied that the vehicle is in safe operating condition before driving.

Question 5

A passenger bus approaches a drawbridge with no signal light or traffic-control attendant. Where should the driver stop?

  1. A Between 15 and 50 feet before the draw
  2. B At least 50 feet before the draw
  3. C At least 100 feet before the draw
  4. D Within 50 feet if the bridge appears closed

Correct answer: B – At least 50 feet before the draw

The Florida Commercial Driver’s License Manual directs the bus driver to stop at least 50 feet before an uncontrolled drawbridge. Before crossing, the driver must verify that the draw is completely closed. A stop is not required when a green signal is displayed or an attendant or traffic officer controls bridge traffic, but the driver must slow down and confirm that crossing is safe.

Question 6

What is the maximum aggregate gross weight of a less-dangerous, nonliquid Division 6.1 poison that may be carried on a bus transporting passengers?

  1. A 50 pounds
  2. B 99 pounds
  3. C 100 pounds
  4. D 150 pounds

Correct answer: B – 99 pounds

Federal hazardous-material regulations limit less-dangerous Division 6.1 poisonous material, other than a liquid, to an aggregate gross weight of 45 kilograms or 99 pounds on a bus carrying passengers. Extremely dangerous Division 6.1 poisons and Division 2.3 poisonous gases are prohibited in any amount. The 99-pound figure is the exact regulatory limit applicable to passenger-bus operations.
