Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a bus on this motorway at 100 km/h and want to continue straight ahead. What dangers should you expect here?

A vehicle could overtake on the right on the breakdown lane

The foreign motorhome in front of me could be braked surprisingly at the exit

A vehicle from the left lane could be steered to the right onto the deceleration lane just in front of my bus

The blue car could be braked and steered onto the right lane

2 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving here with a bus of vehicle class M3. How must you behave when oncoming traffic appears?

I stop if possible so that there is no tree next to my bus

I steer my bus between the trees into the grass

I have priority as long as no vehicle larger than my bus is coming from the opposite direction

After I have stopped, I communicate with the driver of the oncoming vehicle about who will yield

3 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an empty bus of vehicle class M3. Why must you expect very low tire grip on the road surface here?

Because tire grip on the road surface results from multiplying the friction coefficient between tire and road surface by the wheel load

Because with empty buses, the wheel load especially on the steered front wheels is very low

Because with empty buses, the wheel load especially on the front wheels is very high

Because the friction coefficient between tire and road surface on snowy roads only reaches about 0.2

You are driving a bus of class M3 at 90 km/h and want to leave the motorway at this exit. The white car is stopped on the right on the deceleration lane with hazard warning lights on. How should you behave?

I indicate right

I release the accelerator now. After I have passed the car, I change completely onto the deceleration lane and brake

I change to the deceleration lane now, brake to about 40 km/h and pass the car with about 0.5 m lateral distance

I change to the deceleration lane now and stop behind the car. After that, I must provide first aid

5 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a bus of vehicle class M3. In which area is the danger of overlooking other road users due to "blind spots" in the field of vision particularly high?

On the right side next to the bus

Behind the bus

Directly in front of the windshield

On the left side next to the bus

6 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a bus on this motorway at 100 km/h. How should you behave if you want to continue straight ahead?

I observe in the left mirror whether a vehicle from the left lane is steered to the right just in front of my bus

I increase the safety distance to the motorhome driving ahead

I observe in the right mirrors whether a vehicle from the breakdown lane is steered to the left

I change to the left lane

7 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a bus of vehicle class M3. How should you behave?

I continue on the right lane

I switch on the hazard warning lights and stop immediately

I expect a possible backup of trucks before being directed to the checkpoint

I must definitely expect to be directed to a checkpoint after about 600 m

8 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an empty bus of vehicle class M3. What must you particularly consider here when choosing driving speed?

The visibility

The low friction between tires and road surface

The narrow remaining roadway width

The low axle load on the steered front wheels

9 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving here with a bus of vehicle class M3. What must you particularly pay attention to when choosing driving speed?

Leaves on the road lead to an exceptionally long braking distance

Overhanging branches can damage the body of the bus

There is a high probability of wildlife crossing

The road is so narrow that a safe encounter with oncoming traffic is not possible

10 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving here with a bus of vehicle class M3. What dangers must you expect if you try to manage the downhill slope without snow chains?

The bus could start sliding

The brakes could overheat

The engine could be overloaded

The bus could become unsteerable

11 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a bus of class M3 at 90 km/h and want to leave the motorway at this exit. The white car is stopped on the right on the deceleration lane with hazard warning lights. What dangers could arise if you behave incorrectly?

The bus could tip over at the exit if I do not immediately brake to walking speed

People exiting the car could be endangered

I could hit the car if I change completely onto the deceleration lane too early

A rear-end collision with following vehicles could occur if I brake hard while still driving in the first lane of the motorway

12 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a bus of vehicle class M3. Do you have to exit to this checkpoint?

Only if a toll supervision officer directs me to do so with hand signals

Only if a road supervision officer directs me to do so with hand signals

No, definitely not

Yes, definitely

13 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a fully occupied bus of vehicle class M3. What must you observe if you want to leave the motorway here?

I must adjust my driving speed so that the bus does not tip over

Due to the guide angles, I must expect that the exit curve has a particularly tight radius

I may only brake in the exit curve so as not to endanger traffic on the motorway

I must adjust my driving speed to the short visibility in the curve

14 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a fully occupied bus of vehicle class M3. What circumstances can cause the bus to tip over?

If it is a double-decker bus with a high center of gravity

If fast steering maneuvers occur in the exit curve (jerking the steering)

If driving too fast in the exit curve

If driving too slowly in the exit curve

15 / 15

Category: Class D -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

Yes, on the drive wheels

Yes, on the steered front wheels

Yes, on all wheels
