Questions and Answers

When beginning the governor cut-in test, the air system should be
- A.
Between 85 and 100 PSI
- B.
Greater than 100 PSI
- C.
Less than 85 PSI
- D.
Fully charged
Correct Answer
D. Fully chargedExplanation
In order to perform the governor cut-in test, the air system should be fully charged. This means that the air pressure in the system should be at its maximum level, ensuring that there is enough pressure to operate the governor effectively. If the air system is not fully charged, it may not provide sufficient power to the governor, leading to inaccurate test results. Therefore, having a fully charged air system is crucial for conducting a successful governor cut-in test.Rate this question:

What PSI is not acceptable for the front and rear brakes during the governor cut-out test?
- A.
120 PSI
- B.
110 PSI
- C.
135 PSI
- D.
145 PSI
Correct Answer
D. 145 PSIExplanation
During the governor cut-out test, the governor is responsible for regulating the air pressure supplied to the brakes. If the air pressure exceeds the maximum acceptable limit, it can cause the brakes to become too sensitive and potentially lead to brake lock-up or loss of control. Therefore, a PSI of 145 is not acceptable for the front and rear brakes during the governor cut-out test.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 2Explanation
During the STATIC brake test, a bus should not drop more than 2 PSI.

- A.
Apologize for causing the accident
- B.
Ask people if they are injured

- D.
Yell back at the other driver
Correct Answer(s)
B. Ask people if they are injured
C. Lock themselves in the bus and wait for police and/or a supervisor to arriveExplanation
The correct answer is to ask people if they are injured and to lock themselves in the bus and wait for police and/or a supervisor to arrive.

Asking if anyone is injured shows concern and empathy, while locking themselves in the bus ensures their own safety and prevents any further altercation with the other driver. Waiting for the authorities or a supervisor to arrive ensures that the situation can be properly assessed and managed. Yelling back at the other driver or apologizing for causing the accident may escalate the situation and is not a recommended course of action.Rate this question:
