Question 1917 · Bus theory test
What might be described as a bus driver’s ‘blind spots’?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
The areas to the front, sides and rear of the bus which the driver cannot see.
Official explanation
A blind spot is an area that a driver cannot see when looking forward or when looking in the mirrors. The bigger the vehicle, the bigger the blind spots, and you should keep this in mind if you are driving behind a large vehicle. If you are driving behind a large vehicle and you cannot see the vehicle’s mirrors, then the large vehicle driver cannot see you.
