What is the speed limit when passing a stopped school bus off base?

  1. 5 kph (3 mph)
  2. 10 kph (6 mph)
  3. 15 kph (9 mph)
  4. 20 kph (12 mph)

Answer: A — 5 kph (3 mph)

The correct speed limit when passing a stopped school bus off base is 5 kph (3 mph). This low speed limit is designed to ensure safety for children who may be entering or exiting the bus. At this speed, drivers have the best chance to react to any sudden movements by children, who may not always be aware of their surroundings. The cautionary approach also reflects the importance of maintaining a safe environment in school zones, where children are particularly vulnerable. By adhering to this speed limit, drivers demonstrate responsible care and consideration for the safety of students.
