Your bus has broken down at night. Why should you move your passengers to the front of the bus?
- A To keep the bus stable
- B To help you see clearly out of the back window
- C To limit injuries in the event of a rear-end collision
- D To keep them informed about the breakdown
Why this is the answer
Passenger safety should be your priority. You should take every precaution to make sure they're out of danger.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- To keep the bus stable — Where people sit does not make a stationary bus more stable.
- B
- To help you see clearly out of the back window — Seeing out of the back window is not the reason, and the mirrors do that job.
- D
- To keep them informed about the breakdown — Keeping people informed matters, and you can do that from anywhere on the bus.
Where this comes from
- Driving Buses and Coaches — section 7
