Sample Nevada Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

Which option correctly describes practices restricted while transporting passengers?

  1. A Fueling with riders aboard except when necessary, distracting conversation while driving, and towing a loaded disabled bus except to reach safety
  2. B Crossing every drawbridge without stopping
  3. C Taking a curve below its design speed
  4. D Selecting a suitable gear before crossing railroad tracks

Correct answer: A – Fueling with riders aboard except when necessary, distracting conversation while driving, and towing a loaded disabled bus except to reach safety

The Nevada manual says to avoid fueling with riders aboard unless necessary and never to refuel in a closed building with them aboard. Drivers must not talk with riders or perform other distracting activities while driving. A disabled bus generally must not be towed or pushed with riders aboard unless unloading would be unsafe, and then only to the nearest safe discharge location.

Question 2

Most hazardous materials may be carried on a passenger bus if they are properly packaged and marked.

  1. A True
  2. B False

Correct answer: B – False

Most hazardous materials cannot be transported on a passenger bus. Only certain materials and limited quantities are allowed under specified conditions. Drivers must recognize hazardous-material markings and must not transport a material unless they are certain that carrying it on the bus is permitted.

Question 3

On a dry road at 50 mph, what minimum following interval is recommended for a 40-foot bus?

  1. A 5 seconds
  2. B 6 seconds
  3. C 8 seconds
  4. D 10 seconds

Correct answer: A – 5 seconds

A 40-foot vehicle requires at least four seconds of following space at speeds below 40 mph. At speeds above 40 mph, add one more second. A 40-foot bus traveling at 50 mph should therefore maintain at least a five-second interval under good road and visibility conditions.

Question 4

Two riders want to board a bus, one carrying a car battery and the other carrying gasoline in a fuel can. What should the driver do?

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

Correct answer: D – Do not allow either item onto the bus

The Nevada manual specifically tells bus drivers not to allow riders to carry common hazards such as car batteries or gasoline. The restriction applies even when the gasoline is in a fuel can. Both riders may board only if the prohibited items are left behind or handled through an authorized alternative.

Question 5

While operating a passenger bus, which scanning pattern should you use?

  1. A Check traffic ahead, to both sides, and behind while also monitoring the passenger area
  2. B Watch mainly the traffic lane immediately to the left
  3. C Look only 5 to 7 seconds ahead
  4. D Look only 10 to 15 seconds ahead

Correct answer: A – Check traffic ahead, to both sides, and behind while also monitoring the passenger area

The Nevada CDL manual directs bus drivers to scan the passenger area as well as the roadway ahead, to the sides, and behind. Interior checks can reveal rider activity that requires a reminder about safety rules. The driver must not narrow attention to only one part of the traffic environment.

Question 6

Why may some emergency roof hatches be secured in a partly open position?

  1. A To allow fresh air into the bus
  2. B To provide routine access for maintenance workers
  3. C To keep the exits open throughout every trip
  4. D They may never be partly opened

Correct answer: A – To allow fresh air into the bus

Some emergency roof hatches may be locked partly open to provide fresh air. They should not be left open as a regular practice. When a hatch is open, the driver must account for the bus’s increased height and clearance.
