Section outline

    • The loading and unloading of passengers presents the driver with tremendous responsibilities and requires the use of sound judgment. The driver must execute the proper procedures for interacting with other vehicular traffic, in managing pupils who are loading and unloading from the bus.

      This unit deals with the proper use of hazard warning lights as well as the procedures for safe loading and unloading of passengers. Learning and using these procedures will assist the driver in safely transporting their passengers to and from school. This is the point where students and drivers are exposed to many hazards. Ignoring these procedures could result in severe injury or death to one or more of their passengers or other highway users.
