Safe DrivingQuestion 63 of 80
When making a right turn in a school bus, you should:
a.Swing wide to the left before turning right
b.Turn as sharply as possible from the far lane
c.Turn slowly and keep the rear of the bus close to the curb to avoid others squeezing in
d.Speed up through the turn
Explanation
In a right turn, turn slowly and keep the rear wheels close to the curb so another vehicle cannot move up between the bus and the curb. Because of the bus's length, its rear tires track inside the front tires (off-tracking). Swinging wide left first can mislead following drivers into passing on the right.
