While coordinating the clutch and accelerator when starting your bus, you should hold the vehicle with...?

the footbrake
the handbrake
engine brake
neutral gear

The correct answer is: the handbrake

While coordinating the clutch and accelerator when starting your bus, you should hold the vehicle with the handbrake. The handbrake should be used to keep the vehicle stationary until the clutch is fully engaged and the accelerator is pressed. The footbrake is used to stop the vehicle while it is in motion, and should not be used when starting the vehicle. The engine brake is used to slow down the vehicle while it is in motion, and is not necessary when starting. Neutral gear is a position in the transmission that is used when the vehicle is not moving, and should not be used to hold the vehicle in place when starting. Therefore, the correct option for holding the bus while coordinating the clutch and accelerator during startup is the handbrake.
