Sample Idaho Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

Before pulling a bus from a stop into moving traffic, which condition must you verify?

  1. A A gap large enough for the bus to accelerate and merge safely is available
  2. B The bus can enter slowly and make traffic reduce speed
  3. C The shoulder is clear for use as an acceleration lane
  4. D Convex mirrors show every area beside the bus

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

The Idaho CDL manual directs bus drivers to know how large a gap their vehicle needs and wait for that gap before leaving a stop. A bus may require considerably more time and distance than a passenger car to reach traffic speed. A turn signal does not guarantee that approaching drivers will brake and create room.

Question 2

A bus with a manual transmission must not be shifted while:

  1. A Traveling across a bridge
  2. B Passing through a marked school crossing
  3. C Crossing railroad tracks
  4. D Reducing speed before a posted limit

Correct answer: C – Crossing railroad tracks

The bus driver must not change gears while crossing railroad tracks. Shifting can interrupt power and increase the risk of the bus stalling or being delayed on the tracks. Choose the proper gear before starting across and remain in that gear until the bus has completely cleared the crossing.

Question 3

Which emergency-equipment combination is currently required on a bus?

  1. A Reflective triangles and a tire repair kit only
  2. B A compliant fire extinguisher and required warning devices
  3. C A first-aid kit and spare tire only
  4. D No emergency equipment is required

Correct answer: B – A compliant fire extinguisher and required warning devices

Current federal equipment rules require each bus power unit to carry a properly rated, accessible, and securely mounted fire extinguisher. The bus must also carry approved warning devices for use when stopped, such as three bidirectional emergency reflective triangles. Flame-producing warning devices are prohibited on specified hazardous-material and fuel-powered vehicles.

Question 4

How should following distance be adjusted when a bus is traveling on a slippery road?

  1. A Add exactly one second to the normal interval
  2. B Use one car length for every 10 mph
  3. C Add exactly two seconds to the normal interval
  4. D Allow much more space than under good conditions

Correct answer: D – Allow much more space than under good conditions

The Idaho CDL manual recommends at least one second for each 10 feet of vehicle length below 40 mph, with another second above 40 mph, under good conditions. A slippery road increases the distance needed to stop. The driver should leave much more space rather than relying on a fixed one- or two-second addition.

Question 5

If a disruptive passenger must leave the bus at night, which location is generally the safest choice?

  1. A Only the passenger's originally requested stop
  2. B A well-lighted area where other people are present
  3. C An isolated area away from traffic
  4. D Only the entrance to a motel

Correct answer: B – A well-lighted area where other people are present

A disruptive or intoxicated passenger should not be discharged at a location that would be unsafe. At night, a well-lighted place where other people are present may be safer than an isolated location. The next scheduled stop may also be appropriate, and drivers should follow their carrier's procedures for handling disruptive passengers.

Question 6

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

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

Correct answer: B – Diamond-shaped

Federal label specifications describe standard hazardous-material labels as diamonds, also called squares-on-point. The shape helps handlers, drivers, and emergency responders recognize hazard warnings on packages. The label's color, symbol, text, and hazard-class number provide more specific information about the material.
