8 . If a driver needs to exit a school bus to ensure all the students have boarded, the driver should:
Ask all students to exit the bus.
While students are boarding a school bus, if the driver cannot account for a student outside, they should secure the bus, take the key with them, and check around and underneath the bus.
9 . What happens if a driver exceeds the number of permitted looks during any particular exercise?
Three points will be marked against their test score.
During the basic vehicle control skills test exercises, a driver may leave their seated position and check the positioning of their vehicle. Using such a look more than two times during any exercise (except the straight line backing exercise) will result in an automatic failure of the skills test. Using such a look more than once during the straight line backing exercise will result in automatic failure.
10 . When asked to complete an offset back/left parking maneuver, you should:
Pull forward to the left, then back in a straight line.
If you are asked to complete an offset back/left parking maneuver, you should first pull straight forward, then back up to the left. Your vehicle must be parked completely within the boundaries of the parking space.
11 . If a driver cannot account for a student after the student has exited the bus, the driver should:
Ask another student if they've seen the student.
During unloading, if a school bus driver cannot account for a student outside of the bus, they should secure the bus and check for the missing student around and underneath the bus.
12 . When performing a pre-trip inspection, you should make sure that:
There is something underneath the brake pedal.
When checking your vehicle's pedals during a pre-trip inspection, you should ensure that there is nothing under or around the pedals that will obstruct their use. Make sure the pedals are in proper working condition and that the surfaces of the pedals are grooved, if applicable.
13 . During exercises that are not the straight line backing exercise, how many pull-ups are allowed without penalty?
Seven
A driver is allowed to use two pull-ups without penalty during any skills test exercise, aside from the straight line backing exercise, during which only one pull-up is permitted. Exceeding the number of permitted pull-ups during a single exercise will result in automatic failure of the basic vehicle control skills test.
14 . During the basic control skills test, you can acquire points by:
Setting the parking brake.
