Sample Wyoming School Bus Test Questions

Question 1

What should you do when the ABS malfunction lamp indicates a loss of ABS control at one or more wheels?

  1. A. Immediately evacuate all passengers
  2. B. Drive and brake normally, but have the ABS serviced soon
  3. C. Increase speed until the warning lamp turns off
  4. D. Use only the parking brake until repairs are made

Correct answer: B. – Drive and brake normally, but have the ABS serviced soon

If ABS is not working, the vehicle still has its normal braking functions. Continue to drive and brake in the usual controlled manner rather than pumping the pedal or using only the parking brake. The malfunction should be serviced soon because ABS assistance may not be available during hard braking.

Question 2

When a Wyoming school bus stops to load or unload students, where should it be positioned?

  1. A. In the leftmost traffic lane
  2. B. As far right on the roadway as is reasonable
  3. C. Completely on the shoulder in every situation
  4. D. Centered across two traffic lanes

Correct answer: B. – As far right on the roadway as is reasonable

Wyoming law requires a school bus receiving or discharging children to remain as far to the right of the roadway as reasonable. The CDL manual similarly directs the driver to move as far right as possible on the traveled portion. The driver should not straddle lanes or automatically use the shoulder.

Question 3

Which condition requires a school bus evacuation?

  1. A. The bus is on fire or threatened by fire
  2. B. A collision is imminent
  3. C. A hazardous-material spill creates a need for rapid evacuation
  4. D. All of the above

Correct answer: D. – All of the above

Mandatory evacuation conditions include a bus fire or threat of fire, an imminent collision, and a need to leave quickly because of a hazardous-material spill. The driver must recognize the hazard and select a safe evacuation method and location. Students should otherwise remain aboard when evacuation would expose them to greater danger.

Question 4

A school bus is disabled on railroad tracks and a train is approaching. Where should the driver lead the students?

  1. A. Directly behind the bus
  2. B. Far from the tracks and toward the approaching train
  3. C. Beside the tracks in the train's direction of travel
  4. D. Inside the bus until dispatch responds

Correct answer: B. – Far from the tracks and toward the approaching train

After evacuating a bus stalled on railroad tracks, lead students as far from the tracks as possible. If a train is approaching, move the group in the direction from which the train is coming. Students must not remain grouped near the disabled bus or beside the tracks.

Question 5

Which knowledge tests must a Wyoming applicant pass to qualify to drive a school bus?

  1. A. General knowledge, passenger transport, and school bus
  2. B. General knowledge, air brakes, and school bus only
  3. C. General knowledge, hazardous materials, and school bus
  4. D. Passenger transport and hazardous materials only

Correct answer: A. – General knowledge, passenger transport, and school bus

The general knowledge test applies to every CDL applicant, while the passenger transport test applies to bus applicants. A school bus applicant must also pass the school bus knowledge test and qualify for the passenger endorsement. An air-brakes test is additionally required only when the vehicle being operated has air brakes.

Question 6

When unloading at school, the driver must remove the ignition key even if remaining in the driver's compartment.

  1. A. False
  2. B. True

Correct answer: A. – False

The Wyoming CDL manual instructs the driver to turn off the ignition when unloading students at school. It specifies removing the key when the driver leaves the driver's compartment. The statement is false because it claims that key removal is always required, even when the driver remains at the controls.
