Question 5227

When passing the bus shown, what danger exists?

  1. None, it is not a dangerous situation.
  2. That pedestrians hidden by the bus itself may cross.
  3. That passengers may get off on the left side.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: That pedestrians hidden by the bus itself may cross.

A stopped bus blocks your view of what is in front of it, and someone who has just gotten off may suddenly cross in front of it without you seeing them. When passing it, slow down, leave plenty of room, and watch the area in front of it. In the image, the bus is at the stop and there are people on the sidewalk. The bus doors are on its right side, next to the sidewalk.
