Your bus has a speed limiter fitted. What other related item must it have?
- A An audible warning device for the driver
- B A plate in the cab showing the limited speed
- C A warning sign on the back of the bus
- D A manual override switch for emergencies
Why this is the answer
A bus equipped with a speed limiter must also be fitted with a plate showing the speed setting. This must be fitted in an obvious position, where it can be clearly seen.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- An audible warning device for the driver — No audible warning is required with a limiter.
- C
- A warning sign on the back of the bus — Nothing goes on the back of the vehicle for this.
- D
- A manual override switch for emergencies — An override switch would defeat the whole point of a limiter.

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. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
