Ontario Bus Driver Knowledge Practice Test

The school bus stopping law applies to...?

1. Any vehicle painted yellow

2. Only chrome yellow school buses

3. All passenger buses

4. School buses of any color

The correct answer is: Only chrome yellow school buses

The school bus stopping law applies to only chrome yellow school buses. This is because in 1939, all school buses in North America were painted a shade of yellow known as "chrome yellow" and was believed that this color was the most visible and attention-grabbing. This law does not apply to any other vehicles, such as passenger buses or school buses of different colors, as they are not considered to have the same level of visibility as yellow school buses. Additionally, as the law was enacted in the 1930s, it is unlikely that it would apply to vehicles that were not yet in existence, such as passenger buses. It is important to adhere to this law to ensure the safety of students who ride yellow school buses.
