On the road1 of 3
The answer
Answer: A. You may have to remind riders about rules, or to keep arms and heads inside the bus. Watching only the road, only the interior or only the left mirrors would miss either the traffic or the riders, so you scan the road ahead, the sides, the rear and the interior of the bus.

On the road2 of 3
The answer
Answer: D. Use caution at intersections even if a signal or stop sign controls other traffic. Straight highway stretches, parking lots and tunnels are not where bus accidents most often occur, because the crossing paths of other vehicles at intersections create the main risk.

On the road3 of 3
The answer
Answer: A. Every banked curve has a safe design speed. Reduce speed for curves. It is not always safe for a bus, it is not meant for buses only and it is not always too low, because the posted curve speed suits cars and a taller bus with a higher centre of gravity may need to go slower.
