First Bus Driver Assessment Test: Full Course PrepPack (2025)

Correct answer: B

Answer A- Buses and coaches have to ensure that people with disabilities, including wheelchair users, are able to board and alight their vehicles easily and safely. Running behind schedule is not a justified reason to deny a wheelchair user access to the bus.

Answer B- According to the official DSA guide to driving buses and coaches, you are permitted to refuse entry to a person in a wheelchair if the wheelchair space on your bus is occupied by standing passengers and their luggage. In the case that a bus is almost full to capacity, where it would be unreasonable to expect standing passengers to move out in order to make way for the wheelchair-bound passenger

Answer C- This is not a justified reason for denying access to a wheelchair user.

Answer D- would be correct if stated that the bus is almost full to capacity, however, this is not the case therefore we can assume that the pram can be moved elsewhere. Furthermore, a pram can be collapsed and the baby/ toddler can be sat on the adult's knee, whilst a wheelchair user can only sit in a wheelchair.

Correct answer: C

The maximum driving period without a break under EU rules is 4 hours 30 minutes. You must take a break of at least 45 minutes after four-and-a-half hours of driving. You are permitted to take this break during the driving period whereby it can be split into two breaks of at least 15 and 30 minutes, taken in that order.
