Sample Georgia Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

Which wheel condition provides better traction during bus braking?

  1. A. All wheels locked and sliding
  2. B. The wheels continuing to roll without locking
  3. C. The front wheels rolling while the rear wheels remain locked
  4. D. The drive wheels spinning under power

Correct answer: B. – The wheels continuing to roll without locking

Rolling wheels retain more traction than locked wheels. When rear drive wheels lock during braking, they can slide sideways as they try to catch up with the front of the vehicle. A bus or straight truck may spin out. Controlled braking keeps the wheels rolling while applying as much braking force as conditions safely allow.

Question 2

Which tire condition is prohibited on the front wheels of a bus?

  1. A. Recapped, retreaded, or regrooved tires
  2. B. Tires with an all-season tread pattern
  3. C. Tires installed within the previous month
  4. D. Tires that have been rotated between axles

Correct answer: A. – Recapped, retreaded, or regrooved tires

Federal regulations prohibit operating a bus with regrooved, recapped, or retreaded tires on its front wheels. The Georgia study guide includes this requirement in the bus vehicle-system inspection. During the pre-trip inspection, verify that the front tires are an allowable type and also inspect their tread, inflation, and general condition.

Question 3

Before a bus enters a railroad crossing, how should the driver select the transmission gear?

  1. A. Choose a gear that allows the bus to cross without shifting
  2. B. Plan to upshift after the front wheels cross the first rail
  3. C. Shift to neutral while the bus is on the tracks
  4. D. Plan to downshift at the center of the crossing

Correct answer: A. – Choose a gear that allows the bus to cross without shifting

A bus should cross railroad tracks in a gear that permits it to complete the crossing without shifting. Federal rules expressly prohibit changing gears while crossing. Georgia's study guide also instructs bus drivers to stop 15 to 50 feet from the tracks when a stop is required, look and listen, and verify that the crossing can be cleared safely.

Question 4

At a bus stop, one passenger has a car battery and another has gasoline in a portable fuel can. What should the driver do?

  1. A. Allow both passengers to board with the items
  2. B. Allow only the passenger carrying the battery
  3. C. Allow only the passenger carrying the gasoline
  4. D. Do not allow either item to be carried onto the bus

Correct answer: D. – Do not allow either item to be carried onto the bus

Passengers must not be allowed to carry common hazards such as car batteries or gasoline onto the bus. These items can leak, ignite, release harmful vapors, or expose passengers to corrosive material. The driver should watch both baggage and cargo for hazardous materials and transport an item only when certain that applicable rules allow it.

Question 5

During a Georgia bus pre-trip inspection, which passenger-area condition must be verified?

  1. A. Small loose items may remain in the aisle
  2. B. Passenger seats are securely fastened to the bus
  3. C. Passenger clothing is suitable for the weather
  4. D. Every roof hatch is closed and locked completely

Correct answer: B. – Passenger seats are securely fastened to the bus

Emergency exits must be checked to make sure they operate properly and are not obstructed. A roof hatch may be used as an emergency exit or for ventilation depending on the bus and the hatch design, so it is not accurate to treat every roof-hatch position or use as universally required.

Question 6

When no other practicable transportation is available, what is the aggregate gross-weight limit for allowed non-Class 1 hazardous materials on a passenger-carrying vehicle?

  1. A. 100 pounds
  2. B. 496 pounds
  3. C. 1,000 pounds
  4. D. 200 pounds

Correct answer: B. – 496 pounds

Federal regulations limit the aggregate gross weight of permitted hazardous materials other than Class 1 explosives to 225 kilograms, or 496 pounds, on a passenger-carrying vehicle. The gross weight of any single hazard class generally may not exceed 45 kilograms, or 99 pounds. These allowances apply when no other practicable transportation is available and remain subject to additional restrictions.
