Question 43Hazards Fitness

Under Article 46 of the Implementation Regulations, what is the statutory maximum speed limit for a passenger bus when entering/exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes, negotiating sharp curves, crossing railway tracks, or driving on ice/snow?

  1. 40 km/h
  2. 50 km/h
  3. 30 km/h Correct answer.
  4. 20 km/h

Explanation

Under Article 46 of the Implementation Regulations, motor vehicles must not exceed 30 km/h when: (1) entering/leaving non-motor lanes or passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, narrow bridges; (2) turning around, turning, or going down steep slopes; (3) in fog, rain, snow, or dust with visibility < 50m; (4) on icy or muddy roads; or (5) towing a disabled motor vehicle.

Question 44Hazards Fitness

What is 'Hydroplaning / Aquaplaning' (水滑现象) when a passenger bus drives on waterlogged expressways, and how should a driver handle it?

  1. The bus floats across deep rivers safely like a ferry
  2. The water activates automatic emergency brakes unexpectedly
  3. The driver must immediately slam on the brakes and violently swerve the wheel
  4. Tire treads fail to displace standing water, forming a dynamic water wedge that lifts tires off the pavement; the driver must hold the wheel straight, ease off the accelerator, and avoid sharp braking or steering until traction returns Correct answer.

Explanation

Hydroplaning occurs when water film pressure exceeds tire contact pressure, lifting the tires off the asphalt. Steering and braking are completely lost. The driver must keep the steering wheel steady, gently release the accelerator to bleed off speed, and avoid harsh braking or sudden turns which would cause violent spins once tires regain road contact.

Question 45Hazards Fitness

When driving a large high-profile passenger bus across long bridges, viaducts, or tunnel exits in high-wind conditions (横风), what hazard occurs and how should the driver respond?

  1. Accelerate to 100 km/h to slice through the crosswind faster
  2. Slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop in the center lane of the bridge
  3. Open all passenger side windows to let the wind blow through the bus
  4. Sudden lateral wind gusts (横风) can shove the high-sided bus sideways; the driver must firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, reduce speed, and make slight steering corrections into the wind Correct answer.

Explanation

High-profile passenger buses have a large lateral surface area susceptible to strong crosswinds (横风), especially on bridges and upon exiting tunnels. Drivers must reduce speed in advance, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, anticipate wind buffeting, and make smooth, gentle steering corrections to maintain lane positioning.

Question 46Incident Environment

When a passenger coach is involved in a traffic accident on a public road, what is the driver's primary immediate statutory duty under Article 70 of the Road Traffic Safety Law?

  1. Immediately stop the vehicle, turn on hazard warning lights, protect the scene, swiftly rescue injured passengers, and report the accident to traffic police (122) Correct answer.
  2. Quickly drive the bus to the destination station before reporting the collision to the transport company
  3. Negotiate private cash compensation with other drivers involved before checking passenger safety
  4. Instruct all passengers to stay seated inside the bus on the active travel lane while arguing fault

Explanation

Under Article 70 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, when an accident occurs, the driver must immediately stop, turn on hazard flashers, protect the scene, actively rescue injured persons, report to the police immediately, and safely evacuate passengers away from active travel lanes.

Question 47Incident Environment

What is the traffic regulation regarding yellow grid line markings (黄色网状线) painted on the road surface outside bus terminals, fire stations, or major road junctions?

  1. Vehicles may park inside the yellow grid for up to 5 minutes to discharge passengers
  2. Only public buses may use the grid as a regular passenger boarding zone
  3. Vehicles must stop inside the yellow grid before turning right
  4. Vehicles are strictly prohibited from stopping or queuing inside the yellow grid area under any circumstances to prevent gridlock Correct answer.

Explanation

Under national standard GB 5768 and the Implementation Regulations, yellow grid lines indicate areas where all stopping and queueing is strictly prohibited. If traffic ahead is congested, drivers must wait outside the grid line area to ensure the junction remains clear.

Question 48Incident Environment

If an unruly passenger causes a disturbance, attempts to grab the steering wheel, or assaults the driver while the bus is in motion, what is the driver's standard emergency operating protocol?

  1. Keep calm, immediately release the throttle, safely brake and bring the bus to a complete stop at the roadside, apply the parking brake, activate hazard flashers, and call the police (110) immediately Correct answer.
  2. Continue driving at high speed while wrestling physically with the passenger
  3. Accelerate to the destination station without stopping
  4. Encourage other passengers to throw the unruly individual out of the moving bus window

Explanation

Under national Ministry of Transport and MPS passenger safety protocols (enshrined following high-profile transit incidents), drivers faced with passenger disturbances must prioritize overall vehicle safety: remain calm, safely bring the vehicle to an immediate controlled stop, secure the parking brake, open doors for evacuation if necessary, and dial 110.

Question 49China Road Framework
