How should backing be performed?
-turn off distractions (e.g. radio)
-open windows
-put on 4 ways
-sound horn
-exit vehicle and check path you will be using for obstructions and overhead hazards
straight backing is preferred approach
How should alley dock backing be performed
preferably from DRIVER'S SIDE
(backing in on an L-shaped curve)
How should offset backing be performed?
(backing in on an S-shaped curve)
Drive straight forward until the vehicle is in a straight line.
Turn the wheel all the way to the left angling the bus toward the destination.
Back up while watching the mirrors to frame the destination parking spot.
Back up the bus until the rear is aligned with the centre of the parking spot.
Stop and turn the wheel to the right as far as possible and backup until the rear is positioned to enter

,the parking spot.
Straighten the wheels. Look out both mirrors while slowly backing toward the destination.
components of the daily trip inspection involving brakes
Hydraulic brakes (without power assist):
Apply brakes moderately and hold.
If the pedal shows a steady drop, the vehicle should be taken out of service and the system inspected
professionally.
Hydraulic brakes (with power assist):
With the engine stopped, pump the brake pedal several times to eliminate power assist.
Apply brakes moderately and hold.
Start the engine (the pedal should drop slightly) and stop.
If the pedal continues to drop or does not drop (no power assist), stop the engine. The vehicle should be
taken out of service and the system inspected professionally.
should hydraulic or air brakes be fanned?
NO, except on slippery pavement (where it reduces skidding and leads to shorter stopping distance)
how should you brake on long downgrades?
Avoid excessive use of brakes on long downgrades, because overheated brakes are dangerously
inefficient. Gear down to use engine compression as the principal means of controlling speed on long
grades. You should use the same gear going down a long grade as you would to climb it. Choose the
lower gear before you begin going downhill.
what do you do if low air pressure warning device goes off?
stop immediately in the safest available place and have the problem corrected before you proceed.
what do you do if brakes fail on a level road
slow down using engine compression, and if that fails, try emergency brake
how do you stop a skid?
release the brakes, look and steer in the direction you want to go.
what are retarders?
. a popular option on motor coaches. They augment braking and help reduce service brake wear and
brake fade, and are useful on long downhill grades
3 types of retarders
exhaust brakes, engine brakes and driveline (transmission) retarders. Activation of the retarder is usually
controlled by the driver by means of an "on-off" or variable setting switch. In some buses, the retarder
activates automatically when the service brakes are applied. Exhaust and engine brake retarders
typically increase engine noise and many communities prohibit their use.

, DRIVE LINE RETARDERS DO NOT INCREASE ENGINE NOISE...However, prolonged use increases
transmission heat to the point that it could shut down the coach to protect the transmission from
damage
when can using retarders be dangerous?
Because the retarder applies brake force only to the drive axle, activating the retarder while driving on a
slippery surface can cause a loss of control and a collision. Do not use the retarder on wet, slippery or icy
roads. During inclement weather, turn off the retarder using the maters (on-off) switch. Drivers who
ignore this warning and experience a retarder-induced wheel lock-up or spin should immediately turn
off the retarder to allow the drive wheels to roll freely and regain steering control.
How far is following distance on a road >60km/h?
60m (200ft), unless overtaking and passing another vehicle
what do most buses and other public vehicles have to do at railway crossings?
school buses have to stop, even if the crossing has automatic warning devices
regular buses only have to stop if they don't have automatic warning devices
if a train is coming, stop at least 5m from the nearest rail
wait until lights have stopped flashing before crossing after a train passes
DONT shift gears while crossing tracks
what do you do if you get stuck on railway crossing?
get everyone off and away from the vehicle, move to a safe place, contact authorities
what should you do when smaller vehicles try to pass you?
slow down enough to let them fit quickly and safely in front of you
Where should cyclists be on the road?
Bicycles and mopeds travelling at a lower speed than other traffic are expected to ride about one metre
from the curb or parked cars, or as close as practical to the right-hand edge of the road when there is no
curb. However, they can use any part of the lane if necessary for safety
Cyclists are not required to ride close to the right edge of the road when they are travelling at or faster
than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place, or when they are turning left, or getting in
position to turn left. (Cyclists are permitted to make a left turn from a left-turn lane, where one is
available.)
How should you drive around cyclists?
