When is it acceptable to leave the bus loaded with passengers when it must be towed or pushed to a safe location?
Answer: C
When evacuating the bus would be more dangerous than remaining on the bus.
Occasionally it will be safer to remain on the bus than to evacuate. During these times it is acceptable to leave the passengers on the bus until it is relocated to a safe area for evacuation.
All choices
- AWhen the tow distance is less than 1 mile
- BWhen all of the wheels of the bus will remain on the ground during the move.
- CWhen evacuating the bus would be more dangerous than remaining on the bus.
Why the other answers are wrong
A. When the tow distance is less than 1 mile
Choice A is wrong because tow distance alone does not determine if passengers can remain on the bus; safety considerations are paramount.
B. When all of the wheels of the bus will remain on the ground during the move.
Choice B is wrong because even if all wheels remain on the ground, passengers should only remain if evacuating is more dangerous.
