Show answer

Correct answer to question 18 (School Bus): Confirm the student looks both ways and clears the danger zone before moving the bus at all

Why

The driver, not the student, is responsible for confirming the danger zone is clear before the bus moves, since a young student may not judge the risk correctly on their own.
