Not quite.

Turning attention away from the loading/unloading task compromises the concentration the AAMVA CDL Manual says is required during this task, risking a student being missed or hurt outside the bus.

The correct answer is B: Keep full attention on safely unloading the students, then pull over to address the problem if needed once they are clear.

✓

Correct!

Correct. The manual instructs drivers not to deal with on-bus problems while loading and unloading; instead, wait until unloading students are safely off and clear, then pull over to handle it if necessary.

✗

Not quite.

Radioing dispatch as a first, mandatory step isn't what the manual describes. The priority is finishing the unloading safely before addressing the behavior.

The correct answer is B: Keep full attention on safely unloading the students, then pull over to address the problem if needed once they are clear.

✗

Not quite.

The manual doesn't say to ignore the behavior permanently, only to delay addressing it until unloading is complete and safe.

The correct answer is B: Keep full attention on safely unloading the students, then pull over to address the problem if needed once they are clear.
