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
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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?

   Marque todas as opções corretas.

   • 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
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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?

   Marque todas as opções corretas.

   • A. Engine coolant level
   • B. Each handhold and railing
   • C. The trailer kingpin
   • D. The floor covering
   • E. The emergency exit handles
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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.

   Opções para a lacuna 1: 100, 250, 500, 1,000

   Opções para a lacuna 2: 100, 250, 500, 1,000

   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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.

   Opções para a lacuna 1: front door, driver's seat, first passenger seat, wheelchair lift

   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: 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.

    Opções para a lacuna 1: 5, 15, 25, 50

    Opções para a lacuna 2: 30, 50, 75, 100

    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: 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
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: 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
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: 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
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: 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?

    Marque todas as opções corretas.

    • 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
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: 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
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: 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.

O que é a prova do CDL passenger endorsement

O passenger endorsement, que aparece como P na sua habilitação, é a autorização para dirigir um veículo projetado para transportar 16 ou mais pessoas, contando o motorista. Ele vem em cima de uma commercial driver license, a habilitação comercial dos Estados Unidos. Para obtê-lo você passa numa prova teórica de passageiros e também faz as provas práticas da classe de veículo que dirige, normalmente num ônibus. Se você quer dirigir um ônibus escolar, isso é um endorsement S separado, com a sua própria prova teórica. Quem pede o passenger endorsement pela primeira vez também precisa concluir o entry level driver training com um provedor do Training Provider Registry federal.

Os detalhes são definidos por cada estado, e não por um órgão nacional. O seu estado decide quantas questões a prova tem, a nota de aprovação, as taxas e quais outras provas teóricas você deve fazer no mesmo dia. Oitenta por cento é uma nota de corte comum, mas o único número em que se pode confiar é o do manual de CDL do seu próprio estado. O conteúdo é mais fácil de prever, porque quase todo estado escreve a prova a partir do mesmo manual modelo e o republica. A seção de passageiros desse manual se chama Transporting Passengers Safely. Muitos estados também usam a seção de general knowledge nesta prova e acrescentam air brakes se o ônibus que você vai dirigir os tiver.

Como os estados reescrevem e às vezes acrescentam regras, use esta página para achar seus pontos fracos e o manual do seu estado como a palavra final. Se o seu manual traz um número diferente do de uma questão daqui, aprenda o número do seu manual.

Como usar esta amostra e como estudar a seção de passageiros

Estas 15 questões ficam dentro da seção de passageiros. Elas perguntam o que conferir antes de dirigir, como carregar e prender a bagagem, quais materiais perigosos um ônibus pode e não pode levar, como lidar com um passageiro que não se comporta e o que fazer em passagens de nível e pontes levadiças. Não repetem air brakes nem as regras do ônibus escolar, que têm as suas próprias provas.

Faça tudo de uma vez, sem o manual aberto, e depois leia todas as explicações, inclusive das questões que você acertou. Trate um erro como um tema, não como um fato solto. Se você errou a questão da passagem de nível e a da ponte levadiça, leia as regras de passagem juntas e anote qual distância pertence a qual, porque elas parecem iguais e a prova usa isso.

A seção de passageiros é curta, e a maior parte da prova é um pequeno conjunto de números e regras. Vale repetir em voz alta, até virar automático, a distância de parada antes de uma passagem de nível, a distância antes de uma ponte levadiça, a standee line e os limites de peso para materiais perigosos num ônibus. Depois treine a inspeção prévia de um ônibus, que tem peças de passageiros que um caminhão não tem: apoios para as mãos, corrimãos, revestimento do piso, puxadores das saídas e as placas das saídas de emergência.

Como a StudyPDF transforma o manual de CDL do seu estado em simulados completos

Quinze questões mostram onde você está inseguro. Elas não deixam você pronto sozinhas, e nenhum banco genérico combina com o texto do manual do seu estado, que é exatamente o livro de onde a sua prova é escrita.

A StudyPDF parte do seu material. Envie o manual de CDL do seu estado, as apostilas da sua escola de formação ou só o capítulo de passageiros, e o Bo, o agente de estudo, cria simulados completos a partir dessas páginas exatas. Cada questão é baseada no seu documento, e cada explicação cita de onde vem a resposta, então dá para ir direto à página quando um número parecer diferente do que você lembrava. Você pode gerar simulados novos quando quiser, restringi-los a uma área como passagens de nível ou a inspeção prévia do ônibus, e acompanhar quais temas você continua errando.

Você não precisa de um arquivo para começar. Se ainda não tem nada para enviar, é só dizer um tema, por exemplo carga e bagagem num ônibus ou materiais perigosos num ônibus, e o Bo escreve um simulado sobre ele. Começar é grátis.
