Sample Oregon Passenger Test Questions

Question 1

What must be true of a bus emergency exit door or window before the bus is driven?

  1. A It may remain open if passengers request ventilation
  2. B It may remain open during hot weather
  3. C It may remain open for a short movement
  4. D It must be closed

Correct answer: D – It must be closed

The Oregon manual instructs drivers never to operate a bus with an emergency exit door or window open. Open emergency exits should be closed during the exterior inspection before the bus moves. This rule does not prevent certain emergency roof hatches from being locked in a partly open ventilation position, but those hatches should not routinely be left open.

Question 2

Which practice best manages the limited space along the sides of a bus?

  1. A Drive close to the right edge of the lane
  2. B Keep centered and avoid traveling beside other vehicles when possible
  3. C Drive close to the left edge of the lane
  4. D Depend on convex mirrors to eliminate every side blind spot

Correct answer: B – Keep centered and avoid traveling beside other vehicles when possible

Oregon guidance recommends keeping a wide commercial vehicle centered in its lane to preserve clearance on both sides. Avoid traveling alongside other vehicles when possible because another driver may move into your lane or prevent you from changing lanes. When traffic forces you to travel beside another vehicle, maintain as much space as possible and adjust your position to remain visible.

Question 3

Who must ensure that the required proper shipping name and identification number are marked on a non-bulk hazardous-materials package offered for transportation?

  1. A The person offering the package for transportation, usually the shipper
  2. B The bus driver accepting the package
  3. C The consignee after delivery
  4. D The destination warehouse manager

Correct answer: A – The person offering the package for transportation, usually the shipper

Federal marking rules place this responsibility on each person who offers hazardous material for transportation in a non-bulk package. Unless an exception applies, the package must display the proper shipping name and the UN, NA, or ID identification number. A driver should inspect packages before acceptance, but that inspection does not transfer the offeror’s marking responsibility to the driver.

Question 4

One rider has properly prepared small-arms ammunition. Another has a package bearing a Division 1.1 explosive label. Who may bring the item into the bus’s passenger space?

  1. A Neither rider
  2. B Only the rider with the small-arms ammunition
  3. C Only the rider with the Division 1.1 explosive
  4. D Both riders

Correct answer: B – Only the rider with the small-arms ammunition

Federal passenger-vehicle rules prohibit Class 1 explosive material in the passenger-carrying space, except for small-arms ammunition. The Division 1.1 package cannot be carried there. The exception does not remove other packaging, marking, or transportation requirements that apply to the ammunition, and it does not authorize other explosives in the passenger compartment.

Question 5

A passenger bus still has riders aboard. Where must the driver never refuel it?

  1. A At a station used by other commercial vehicles
  2. B Inside a closed building
  3. C At an outdoor fuel island with windows open
  4. D At a pump equipped with an emergency shutoff

Correct answer: B – Inside a closed building

The Oregon Commercial Driver Manual advises avoiding refueling with riders aboard unless it is absolutely necessary. With riders on the bus, refueling inside a closed building is never permitted. An enclosed area can allow fuel vapors to accumulate around the vehicle and its occupants.

Question 6

How far from railroad tracks must a passenger bus stop when a stop is required?

  1. A Between 10 and 50 feet
  2. B Between 15 and 50 feet
  3. C Between 15 and 100 feet
  4. D Between 50 and 100 feet

Correct answer: B – Between 15 and 50 feet

Federal regulation requires a passenger bus covered by the stopping rule to stop no closer than 15 feet and no farther than 50 feet from the tracks. The driver must then look and listen in both directions and determine that no train is approaching. The bus must cross in a gear that does not require shifting on the tracks.
