The answer
Answer: C. More students are killed while getting on or off a school bus than are killed as passengers inside it. Students riding inside, walking to school and waiting in school are not the group with the highest toll, because more are killed getting on or off the bus, usually when hit by another vehicle or by their own bus.

The answer
Answer: B. This forces the students to walk to the bus, so you have a better view of their movements. Stopping about 2 feet away, 30 feet away or at the curb line would not give the same view, whereas stopping 10 feet back makes students walk toward the bus where you can see them.

The answer
Answer: A. The dome light should be on while loading in the dark. Boarding quickly, together, in any order, without the handrail or younger students last invites pushing and falls, whereas slow single file with the handrail, on your signal, keeps the loading orderly and safe.
