CDL Practice Question #462

Pre-trip inspection of a school bus should include:

All standard items plus emergency exits, signaling devices (red and amber lights, stop arm, crossing-control arm), wheelchair lift if equipped, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, body fluid clean-up kit
Only the engine
Only the brakes
Only the seating

Correct. Standard CMV inspection plus school-bus-specific equipment: lights, stop arm, crossing arm, lift, kits, mirror condition.

Why this question matters

This question is one of 55 in our School Bus bank. The reasoning above comes directly from the AAMVA CDL Manual, the source document used by every U.S. state DMV. Memorizing the underlying rule — not just the letter answer — is what separates passing on the first attempt from a return trip and another fee.
