Sample Mississippi Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

What should the driver of a manual-transmission bus do while crossing railroad tracks?

  1. A Shift into a lower gear after entering the crossing
  2. B Coast across in neutral
  3. C Stop on the tracks if a warning device activates
  4. D Remain in the same gear throughout the crossing

Correct answer: D – Remain in the same gear throughout the crossing

Federal regulations require the driver to cross in a gear that permits the bus to complete the crossing without changing gears. Shifting on the tracks increases the risk of stalling and must be avoided. Choose the proper gear before entering and do not shift until the entire bus has cleared the tracks.

Question 2

For a typical hazardous-materials package, which item is not part of the required package markings or labels when applicable?

  1. A The proper shipping name
  2. B The identification number
  3. C The required hazard label
  4. D The shipment date

Correct answer: D – The shipment date

Federal package-marking and labeling requirements generally call for the proper shipping name, identification number, and required hazard labels, subject to applicable exceptions. The exact requirements vary with the material and packaging. A shipment date is not one of the general hazardous-material package markings or labels listed for this purpose.

Question 3

Where do bus crashes often occur?

  1. A At intersections
  2. B At railroad crossings
  3. C Only on open highways because of fatigue
  4. D Only on rural roads

Correct answer: A – At intersections

Mississippi's CDL manual warns that bus crashes often happen at intersections. A traffic light or stop sign controlling other traffic does not eliminate the need for caution. Scan carefully for vehicles, pedestrians, and other road users whose paths could cross the bus's path.

Question 4

On a dry road with good visibility, what minimum following interval should a 30-foot bus maintain at 45 mph?

  1. A 3 seconds
  2. B 4 seconds
  3. C 5 seconds
  4. D 6 seconds

Correct answer: B – 4 seconds

Mississippi's CDL manual recommends at least one second for every 10 feet of vehicle length at speeds below 40 mph. A 30-foot bus starts with a three-second interval. Because the bus is traveling faster than 40 mph, add one second, producing a minimum four-second following interval under the stated conditions.

Question 5

After switching from high beams to low beams at night, you cannot stop within the distance you can see. What should you do?

  1. A Reduce speed by exactly 5 mph
  2. B Slow down enough to stop within the visible distance
  3. C Increase speed to shorten the time on low beams
  4. D Maintain speed because headlight range does not affect stopping distance

Correct answer: B – Slow down enough to stop within the visible distance

When you switch to low beams, reduce speed as needed because your visible distance becomes shorter. Mississippi’s CDL manual states that low beams illuminate about 250 feet, while high beams reach about 350–500 feet. Drive slowly enough that your stopping distance remains within the area illuminated by your headlights.

Question 6

Where must a bus driver never place packages bearing required Class 7 radioactive labels?

  1. A In a compartment occupied by people
  2. B In a trunk separated from passengers
  3. C In an approved baggage compartment
  4. D In an exterior baggage bay

Correct answer: A – In a compartment occupied by people

Federal rules require labeled Class 7 radioactive packages carried on a passenger-for-hire vehicle to be stored only in the trunk or baggage compartment. They must not be stored in any compartment occupied by people. The CDL manual teaches bus drivers the same passenger-space restriction.
