Passing target: 83.3% (15/18)
You are driving behind a school bus that has no students on board. The bus is near a railroad crossing that has no lights or gates, and you see no train. What should you expect the bus to do?
A follows school bus B toward a crossbuck-only railroad crossing with no gates, lights or train in view. The card states that B carries no students.
Correct answer: Stop 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail before it crosses the tracks.
Why
Some vehicles must stop at every railroad crossing, even when no train or signal is present. In Pennsylvania these include school buses, buses that carry passengers, and trucks that carry fuel or other hazardous materials. When you follow one of these vehicles, keep a longer following distance so that you can stop smoothly behind it.
