CDL Practice Question #487

A pre-trip mirror adjustment should:

Allow the driver to see the right-rear and left-rear of the bus, the danger zone in front, and along both sides
Only show the rear
Only show the front
Not be necessary

Correct. Adjust mirrors to cover front danger zone, both sides, and the rear. Recheck adjustment after any seating-position change.

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.
