Question 2

Accepted Answer

✕ False

Chapter 9, Section 1(2)(c) of the Rules of the Road specifies: "When leaving the vehicle on a slope or when passing through a dangerous location, passengers must disembark." Passengers must disembark in both situations—when leaving the vehicle on a slope and when passing through a dangerous location.

Accepted Answer

✓ True

Chapter 9, Section 1(2)(i) of the Rules of the Road states: "Bus drivers must sound the horn when departing, except when safety has been confirmed immediately before departure." If safety has been confirmed just prior to departure, sounding the horn is not required.

Accepted Answer

B: Once per day, before starting operations

Chapter 9, Section 2(9) of the Rules of the Road specifies: "Drivers of passenger vehicles must perform or confirm daily inspections once per day before starting operations, and must report the results to their employer."

Accepted Answer

✕ False

Chapter 9, Section 2(3) of the Rules of the Road states: "Taxi drivers must display the out-of-service sign when they cannot pick up passengers due to meal breaks or rest periods." In this case, the out-of-service sign, not the vacant sign, must be displayed.

Question 7

Route buses must turn on interior lights when traveling on roads at night.

Accepted Answer

✓ True

Chapter 9, Section 2(1) of the Rules of the Road states: "Route buses must turn on interior lights when traveling on roads at night." Interior lighting is required during nighttime route-bus operations for passenger safety and convenience.

Chapter 9, Section 1(2)(d) of the Rules of the Road specifies: "When the vehicle becomes immobilized within a railroad crossing due to breakdown or other cause, promptly guide passengers to evacuate to safety and signal approaching trains using a flare or similar device." Ensuring passenger safety and warning trains are required.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

Chapter 9, Section 2(2) of the Rules of the Road states: "Bus drivers must avoid conversation unrelated to their duties while the bus is in motion with passengers aboard." Unnecessary conversation while driving is prohibited regardless of whether it affects safe driving.

Question 10

What items must a driver who has taken over duties inspect?

Accepted Answer

B: Function of the steering wheel, brakes, and other components

Chapter 9, Section 1(2)(e) of the Rules of the Road specifies: "Drivers who have taken over duties must inspect the function of the steering wheel, brakes, and other components." In addition to receiving a handoff regarding road and vehicle conditions, inspection of functions directly related to driving is required.

Answer

Tire air pressure and engine oil level

Answer

Function of the steering wheel, brakes, and other components

Question 11

The driver of a passenger vehicle must, in all cases, open the passenger door before completing the stop.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road state that doors should be opened "after confirming the vehicle has stopped." There is no exception allowing doors to be opened before stopping; they must always be opened after the vehicle has stopped. This question presents the incorrect procedure of opening doors before stopping, so it is false.

Question 12

A bus driver must sound the horn before departure unless a safety check was completed immediately before, but when a conductor is on duty, the driver must absolutely never depart without the conductor's signal.

Accepted Answer

✓ True

When departing, a bus driver confirms safety and gives a signal (including use of the horn) before pulling out, and when a conductor is aboard, departs only on the conductor's signal. Both parts of this statement — giving a signal unless safety has been confirmed, and not departing without the conductor's signal when a conductor is aboard — are correct, so the statement as a whole is correct.

Question 13

While working as a taxi driver, I became unable to pick up passengers because I was going to take a lunch break, but I left the off-duty sign inside the vehicle without displaying it.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road state that taxi drivers must display the off-duty sign when they cannot pick up passengers due to meals or breaks. Leaving it inside the vehicle does not constitute displaying it and misleads passengers, so this is inappropriate.

Question 14

A passenger on the bus was talking loudly on the phone and disturbing other passengers, but I wanted to concentrate on driving so I did not do anything as a crew member.

Accepted Answer

✕ False

The Rules of the Road state that bus crew members must take necessary measures such as stopping passengers when they engage in conduct that violates legal provisions inside the vehicle. Even if you want to concentrate on driving, you must fulfill your duty as a crew member.
