When can a bus driver use hazard warning lights?
- A When children are getting off a school bus
- B To thank a driver who has given way
- C When stopping at a pedestrian crossing
- D When parking a bus on yellow lines
Why this is the answer
All drivers may use hazard warning lights to warn other road users of danger on specific occasions. When you're driving a school bus, you may also use these lights when you've stopped and children are getting on or off the bus.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- To thank a driver who has given way — They are a warning, not a way of saying thank you.
- C
- When stopping at a pedestrian crossing — Stopping at a crossing is ordinary driving.
- D
- When parking a bus on yellow lines — Hazard lights do not make parking on yellow lines lawful.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites.
