Sample North Dakota Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

Except for a roof hatch designed to be partly open, when may you drive a bus with an emergency exit door or window open?

  1. A. At any time
  2. B. Only in low-speed areas
  3. C. When a supervisor approves
  4. D. Never

Correct answer: D. – Never

Do not drive with an emergency exit door or window open. Check the bus before departure and close any open emergency exits and access panels. Some roof hatches may be secured in a partly open position for ventilation, but they are treated separately and should not be left open as a regular practice.

Question 2

What vehicle dimension requires extra attention when emergency roof hatches are secured in a partly open position?

  1. A. Overall height and clearance
  2. B. Wheelbase
  3. C. Turning radius
  4. D. Rear overhang

Correct answer: A. – Overall height and clearance

A partly open roof hatch increases the bus’s effective height. The driver must account for this higher clearance when approaching bridges, overhangs, branches, and other overhead obstructions. The North Dakota manual also advises that roof hatches should not routinely be left open even when they can be secured for ventilation.

Question 3

When may a bus be equipped with a folding aisle seat?

  1. A. Only when it automatically folds and leaves a clear aisle while unoccupied
  2. B. Whenever the driver can manually remove it
  3. C. Only when no passengers are standing
  4. D. Whenever the trip is shorter than 25 miles

Correct answer: A. – Only when it automatically folds and leaves a clear aisle while unoccupied

The rule does not establish a numerical allowance for folding aisle seats. An aisle seat is permitted only when it is designed and installed to fold automatically, leaving a clear aisle when unoccupied. Every passenger seat must also remain securely fastened to the bus while the vehicle is operated.

Question 4

Which item is not part of the hazardous-material package identification information shippers generally provide when applicable?

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

Correct answer: D. – The date the shipment left its origin

Marking and labeling requirements vary according to the material and type of package. When applicable, a hazardous-material package carries the proper shipping name, identification number, and required hazard labels. The date on which the shipment left its origin is not a standard hazardous-material package marking or label.

Question 5

On a bus designed to carry standing riders, what does the standee line identify?

  1. A. The section reserved for priority seating
  2. B. The area where passengers are prohibited from standing
  3. C. The boundary for storing carry-on baggage
  4. D. The location of the rear emergency exit

Correct answer: B. – The area where passengers are prohibited from standing

Federal regulations require a bus designed for standees to identify the area that standing passengers may not occupy forward of the rear of the driver’s seat. The standee line is that visible boundary, and standing riders must remain behind it. The North Dakota CDL manual uses this line to show where riders are prohibited from standing.

Source: North Dakota Commercial Driver License Manual (2025–2027) — § 4.2.3, “Standee Line”, 49 CFR § 393.90 – Buses, standee line or bar

Question 6

If a disruptive rider must leave the bus, which location best follows safe passenger-management practice?

  1. A. An isolated location away from other people
  2. B. The first place where the bus can stop
  3. C. The shoulder of a high-speed highway
  4. D. The next scheduled stop or a well-lighted place where other people are present

Correct answer: D. – The next scheduled stop or a well-lighted place where other people are present

A driver must consider the safety of the disruptive rider and everyone else aboard. Do not discharge the rider at an unsafe location. The CDL manual notes that the next scheduled stop or a well-lighted area where other people are present may be the safer choice, and the carrier may have additional procedures to follow.
