1. 1. A vehicle is designed to carry 15 passengers plus the driver. Under the federal CDL rules, does driving it require a passenger endorsement?

   • A. No, the endorsement applies only to vehicles that carry more than 30 riders
   • B. Yes, because it is designed to carry 16 or more people including the driver
   • C. No, the endorsement applies only to school buses
   • D. Yes, but only if the vehicle has air brakes
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Yes, because it is designed to carry 16 or more people including the driver

   The passenger endorsement applies to a vehicle designed to carry 16 or more people, and the count includes the driver. Fifteen riders plus the driver makes 16. Air brakes are a separate matter, handled by their own knowledge test, and school buses need a separate school bus endorsement on top of the passenger one.

2. 2. Which of these should you confirm your bus has before you drive it?

   Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.

   • A. A fire extinguisher
   • B. A spare set of brake pads
   • C. Emergency warning devices, such as reflective triangles
   • D. Spare electrical fuses, unless the bus has circuit breakers
   • E. A portable can of fuel
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: A. A fire extinguisher, C. Emergency warning devices, such as reflective triangles, D. Spare electrical fuses, unless the bus has circuit breakers

   The manual lists the fire extinguisher, the emergency reflectors (three reflective triangles, or at least six fuses or three liquid burning flares) and spare electrical fuses, which are not needed when the bus is fitted with circuit breakers. Spare brake pads and a can of fuel are not on the list, and carrying extra fuel on a bus would create a hazard of its own.

3. 3. How should baggage and freight be secured on a bus?

   • A. So the driver can move freely, riders can leave by any window or door in an emergency, and a shifting or falling item cannot hurt anyone
   • B. Anywhere in the aisle, as long as it stays within reach of its owner
   • C. Near the doorway, so riders can grab it quickly when they get off
   • D. Wherever it fits, since baggage placement is the rider's responsibility
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: A. So the driver can move freely, riders can leave by any window or door in an emergency, and a shifting or falling item cannot hurt anyone

   Carry-on baggage must never be left in a doorway or an aisle, where it can trip riders and block an evacuation. Baggage and freight have to be secured so the driver can move freely, every window and door stays usable as an exit, and nothing can fall or shift onto a rider. Placement is the driver's responsibility.

4. 4. Which of these belong in the interior check before you drive a bus?

   Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.

   • A. Engine coolant level
   • B. Each handhold and railing
   • C. The trailer kingpin
   • D. The floor covering
   • E. The emergency exit handles
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Each handhold and railing, D. The floor covering, E. The emergency exit handles

   The interior check protects riders: handholds and railings, the floor covering, the signaling devices (including a restroom buzzer if there is one), the emergency exit handles and the seats, which must be securely fastened. Aisles and stairwells must be clear, and the emergency exit signs and lights must work. Coolant belongs to the engine compartment check, and a kingpin is a coupling part on a tractor-trailer, not something in a bus interior.

5. 5. Complete the sentence.

   A bus may carry no more than _____ pounds total of the hazardous materials it is allowed to carry, and no more than _____ pounds of any one class.

   Opzioni per lo spazio 1: 100, 250, 500, 1,000

   Opzioni per lo spazio 2: 100, 250, 500, 1,000

   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: 500, 100

   Most hazardous materials cannot go on a bus at all. The few that may are limited to 500 pounds in total and no more than 100 pounds of any one class. Poison gas, tear gas and other irritating materials are never allowed, nor are labeled radioactive materials in the space riders occupy. Do not carry a hazardous material unless you are sure the rules allow it.

6. 6. Complete the sentence.

   On a bus that allows standing, no rider may stand forward of the rear of the _____, and a line on the floor marks the limit.

   Opzioni per lo spazio 1: front door, driver's seat, first passenger seat, wheelchair lift

   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: driver's seat

   That line is the standee line, a two-inch line on the floor or another clear marker. Every standing rider has to stay behind it, so the driver keeps a clear view and room to operate the bus.

7. 7. A rider is drunk and disruptive. When you decide to make this rider leave the bus, where should it happen?

   • A. At once, wherever you are, to protect the other riders
   • B. At the next intersection, so the rider can walk to safety
   • C. At the next scheduled stop or in a well-lit area where other people are present
   • D. On the shoulder, where no traffic can reach the rider
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: C. At the next scheduled stop or in a well-lit area where other people are present

   You are responsible for the safety of the disruptive rider as well as everyone else. Do not put anyone off the bus where it would be unsafe, such as on a roadside or in a dark, empty place. The safer choice is the next scheduled stop or a well-lit spot with other people around. Many carriers also have their own written guidelines for disruptive riders.

8. 8. You are pulling away from a bus stop into moving traffic. What is the safest approach?

   • A. Signal and pull out, because other drivers will brake to give you room
   • B. Pull out slowly so approaching drivers have time to notice you
   • C. Pull out as soon as the first vehicle passes, to stay on schedule
   • D. Wait for a gap large enough for the bus to accelerate and merge, and watch for poles and tree limbs as you swing out
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: D. Wait for a gap large enough for the bus to accelerate and merge, and watch for poles and tree limbs as you swing out

   Buses need a large gap to get up to speed, and they scrape mirrors and hit passing vehicles when they pull out of stops. Know how much clearance your bus needs, look for poles and tree limbs near the stop, and wait for the gap to open before you leave. Never assume other drivers will brake because you signaled. Pulling out slowly makes the problem worse, since the bus stays in the lane longer.

9. 9. A curve has a posted speed that is safe for cars in good weather. What does the manual say about driving a bus through it?

   • A. The posted speed may be too high for a bus, so slow down before the curve; if the bus leans toward the outside of a banked curve you are going too fast
   • B. The posted speed is always safe for every vehicle on the road
   • C. Speed on curves only matters when the road is wet or covered with snow
   • D. Brake hard in the middle of the curve to bring the bus under the posted speed
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: A. The posted speed may be too high for a bus, so slow down before the curve; if the bus leans toward the outside of a banked curve you are going too fast

   Every banked curve has a safe design speed, and the posted speed is set with cars in mind. A bus is taller and heavier, so it can roll over with good traction or slide off with poor traction. Reduce speed before you enter the curve, since hard braking in the middle is itself a hazard. A bus that leans toward the outside is telling you the speed is too high.

10. 10. Complete the sentence.

    Unless the crossing is exempt, a bus must stop between _____ and _____ feet before the tracks, then look and listen in both directions.

    Opzioni per lo spazio 1: 5, 15, 25, 50

    Opzioni per lo spazio 2: 30, 50, 75, 100

    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: 15, 50

    Stop between 15 and 50 feet before the tracks. You should open your forward door if that helps you see or hear a train. After a train has passed, check that no train is coming the other way on a second track. If the bus has a manual transmission, never change gears while you cross the tracks.

11. 11. A bus with riders approaches a railroad crossing. In which situation are you NOT required to stop, although you must slow down and check carefully?

    • A. No train is visible in either direction
    • B. The crossing has only one track
    • C. A police officer or flagman is directing traffic at the crossing
    • D. The weather is clear and the road is dry
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: C. A police officer or flagman is directing traffic at the crossing

    The manual lists the exceptions: streetcar crossings, a police officer or flagman directing traffic, a green traffic signal, and crossings marked exempt or abandoned. Not seeing a train, having a single track and good weather are not exceptions. Without one of the listed exceptions, stop every time.

12. 12. You come to a drawbridge with no signal light and no attendant or traffic officer. What must you do?

    • A. Slow down and cross if the road ahead looks clear
    • B. Stop at least 50 feet before the draw and make sure it is completely closed before you cross
    • C. Stop only if you hear a bell or a horn
    • D. Stop 15 feet before the draw and open your forward door
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: B. Stop at least 50 feet before the draw and make sure it is completely closed before you cross

    At a drawbridge with no signal light and no attendant, stop at least 50 feet before the draw and look to be sure it is completely closed. You may slow down instead of stopping when a traffic light shows green or an attendant or traffic officer controls traffic whenever the bridge opens. The 15 to 50 feet figure belongs to railroad crossings, which is why the two are easy to mix up.

13. 13. For a bus driven by an interstate carrier, what is required at the end of each shift?

    • A. A written inspection report for each bus driven, listing any defect that would affect safety or cause a breakdown
    • B. A spoken report to the next driver, with nothing written down
    • C. A written report only on days when you find a defect
    • D. Nothing, because the pre-trip inspection already covered the day
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: A. A written inspection report for each bus driven, listing any defect that would affect safety or cause a breakdown

    Inspect the bus at the end of each shift. Interstate carriers need a written report for each bus driven, and if there are no defects the report should say so. Riders damage handholds, seats, emergency exits and windows, so reporting that damage at the end of a shift lets the mechanics repair it before the bus goes out again.

14. 14. Which of these does the manual treat as practices to avoid with riders on board?

    Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.

    • A. Announcing the location and next departure time at a stop
    • B. Refueling the bus inside a closed building
    • C. Towing or pushing the bus when the riders could safely get off instead
    • D. Reminding riders to take their carry-ons when they leave
    • E. Talking with riders while you are driving
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: B. Refueling the bus inside a closed building, C. Towing or pushing the bus when the riders could safely get off instead, E. Talking with riders while you are driving

    Avoid fueling with riders aboard unless it is absolutely necessary, and never fuel in a closed building with riders on board. Do not chat with riders or do anything else that distracts you while driving. Do not tow or push a disabled bus with riders aboard unless getting off would be unsafe, and then only to the nearest safe place to unload. Announcing the stop and reminding riders about their bags are things a good driver does.

15. 15. What does a brake-door interlock do on an urban transit coach?

    • A. It locks the front door whenever the bus is moving
    • B. It sets the parking brake when the engine is shut off
    • C. It releases the brakes when the rear door opens so riders can get off
    • D. It applies the brakes and holds the throttle at idle while the rear door is open
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: D. It applies the brakes and holds the throttle at idle while the rear door is open

    On a bus equipped with the system, opening the rear door applies the brakes and holds the throttle at idle, and closing the door releases them. It is a safety feature for stops, and it is not a substitute for the parking brake. Set the parking brake yourself whenever you leave the bus parked.

Cos'è il test CDL passenger endorsement

L'endorsement passeggeri, indicato con la lettera P sulla patente, è l'abilitazione a guidare un veicolo progettato per trasportare 16 o più persone, autista compreso. Si aggiunge a una patente commerciale CDL. Per ottenerlo si supera un test di conoscenze sui passeggeri e si sostengono anche le prove pratiche per la classe di veicolo che guidi, di solito un autobus. Se vuoi guidare uno scuolabus, serve un endorsement S a parte, con il suo test di conoscenze. Chi richiede l'endorsement passeggeri per la prima volta deve anche completare la formazione iniziale per autisti presso un ente iscritto al Training Provider Registry federale.

I dettagli li fissa ogni stato, non un unico ente nazionale. Il tuo stato decide quante domande ha il test, il punteggio per passare, le tariffe e quali altri test di conoscenze devi fare nello stesso giorno. L'ottanta per cento è una soglia comune, ma l'unico numero di cui fidarti è quello scritto nel manuale CDL del tuo stato. I contenuti sono più facili da prevedere, perché quasi ogni stato scrive il test dallo stesso manuale modello e lo ripubblica. La sezione passeggeri di quel manuale si intitola Transporting Passengers Safely. Molti stati usano per questo test anche la sezione di conoscenze generali e aggiungono i freni ad aria se l'autobus che guiderai li ha.

Poiché gli stati riformulano le regole e a volte ne aggiungono, usa questa pagina per scoprire i tuoi punti deboli e il manuale del tuo stato come ultima parola. Se il tuo manuale riporta un numero diverso da quello di una domanda qui, impara il numero del tuo manuale.

Come usare questo assaggio e come studiare la sezione passeggeri

Queste 15 domande restano dentro la sezione passeggeri. Chiedono cosa controllare prima di partire, come caricare e fissare i bagagli, quali materiali pericolosi un autobus può trasportare e quali no, come gestire un passeggero che non si comporta bene e cosa fare ai passaggi a livello e ai ponti mobili. Non ripetono i freni ad aria né le regole degli scuolabus, che hanno i loro test.

Svolgilo in una sola seduta senza il manuale aperto, poi leggi tutte le spiegazioni, comprese quelle delle domande a cui hai risposto bene. Tratta un errore come un argomento e non come un dato. Se hai sbagliato sia la domanda sul passaggio a livello sia quella sul ponte mobile, leggi insieme le regole dei passaggi e annota quali distanze appartengono a quale, perché suonano simili e il test ci gioca.

La sezione passeggeri è breve e gran parte del test è un piccolo insieme di numeri e regole. Quelli da ripetere ad alta voce finché diventano automatici sono la distanza a cui fermarsi prima di un passaggio a livello, la distanza prima di un ponte mobile, la linea dei passeggeri in piedi e i limiti di peso per i materiali pericolosi su un autobus. Poi esercita il controllo prima del viaggio per un autobus, che ha parti per i passeggeri che un camion non ha: maniglie, corrimano, pavimento, maniglie delle uscite e cartelli delle uscite di emergenza.
