Sample Wyoming School Bus Test Questions

Question 1

How far should the front bumper be from waiting students when a school bus stops to load them?

  1. A Directly beside the students
  2. B At least 10 feet away
  3. C About 5 feet away
  4. D Just beyond the students

Correct answer: B – At least 10 feet away

The Wyoming CDL manual directs the driver to stop with the front bumper at least 10 feet from students at the designated stop. This requires the students to walk toward the bus, giving the driver a better view of their movements. The driver must continue checking the mirrors and danger zones before opening the door.

Question 2

During an ordinary stop, how should you brake a bus equipped with ABS?

  1. A Immediately apply maximum pedal pressure
  2. B Apply the parking brake with the service brakes
  3. C Rapidly pump the brake pedal
  4. D Use the brakes in the normal manner

Correct answer: D – Use the brakes in the normal manner

For normal braking, use only the force needed to stop safely and remain in control, just as you would without ABS. The system activates when a wheel is about to lock; it does not increase normal braking power. Smooth, controlled service-brake application remains the proper technique during an ordinary stop.

Question 3

At each student stop, after selecting Park or Neutral, what should the school bus driver do?

  1. A Shut off the engine immediately
  2. B Release the parking brake
  3. C Remove all pressure from the brakes
  4. D Set the parking brake

Correct answer: D – Set the parking brake

The school bus should be placed in Park or, if Park is unavailable, in Neutral. The driver must then set the parking brake at each stop. Securing the transmission and parking brake helps keep the bus stationary while students are approaching, boarding, or leaving the vehicle.

Question 4

What should a driver do to guard against a student becoming caught on the handrail or door?

  1. A Encourage students to leave as quickly as possible
  2. B Physically assist every student through the doorway
  3. C Watch each student until all are safely clear before moving
  4. D Require students to leave through the rear exit

Correct answer: C – Watch each student until all are safely clear before moving

Clothing, accessories, or a body part can become caught in the handrail or door while a student exits. The driver should closely watch every exiting student and confirm that all students have reached a safe location. The bus must not be moved until that visual check is complete.

Question 5

What is the main safety purpose of correctly adjusting and using every school bus mirror?

  1. A To view only the roadway behind the bus
  2. B To eliminate every blind spot around the bus
  3. C To monitor danger zones for students, traffic, and other objects
  4. D To reduce the need to turn the driver's head

Correct answer: C – To monitor danger zones for students, traffic, and other objects

Wyoming school bus guidance emphasizes using all mirrors to observe the danger zones around the vehicle. Those areas must be checked for students, traffic, and other objects before and during bus movements. Proper mirror adjustment maximizes the viewing area, but it does not eliminate every blind spot.

Question 6

Which situation requires evacuation of a school bus even when no train is visible?

  1. A The ABS warning lamp remains on
  2. B The bus is stalled on or next to railroad tracks
  3. C The bus is parked on a highway shoulder and becoming warm
  4. D The two-way radio has stopped working

Correct answer: B – The bus is stalled on or next to railroad tracks

A school bus stalled on or adjacent to a railroad-highway crossing must be evacuated. The requirement does not depend on whether a train can currently be seen or heard. An illuminated ABS malfunction lamp does not by itself create a mandatory evacuation condition because the regular brakes remain available.
