Ontario Bus Driver Knowledge Practice Test

The best time to undertake a daily road check is before starting your shift and collecting your first passengers of the day. This allows the driver to ensure the vehicle is in proper working condition before any passengers are on board and also allows enough time to address any issues before beginning the route.

Option A is incorrect because it is assumed that all passengers have been dropped off and there may not be enough time to conduct a thorough check before starting the next shift.

Option B is incorrect because by the end of the day, the driver may be tired and may not conduct a thorough check as they would at the beginning of the day.

Option D is incorrect because a scheduled break may not be enough time to complete a comprehensive check and may also interrupt the planned route schedule.
