Practice question

When a bus stops off base, what speed are drivers allowed to pass at?

  1. 10 kph (6 mph)
  2. 5 kph (3 mph)
  3. 15 kph (9 mph)
  4. No speed limit

Answer: B — 5 kph (3 mph)

In situations where a bus has stopped off base, drivers are allowed to pass at a speed of 5 kph (3 mph). This speed is intentionally low to ensure safety when navigating around a stationary bus, especially since passengers may be boarding or disembarking. It allows drivers to maintain a safe distance and react appropriately to any unexpected pedestrians that might step out from behind the bus. Adhering to this low speed limit emphasizes cautious driving behavior in areas where children and other pedestrians are likely to be present, reinforcing the importance of safety over speed in these situations.
