Under what circumstance can a driver leave the bus to seek aid in an accident?

  1. The driver takes the keys

  2. Proper placement of flares/reflectors

  3. No pupil aboard can be sent for help

  4. The driver appoints a pupil to be in charge

The correct answer is: No pupil aboard can be sent for help

A driver is permitted to leave the bus to seek aid in an accident primarily when there are no pupils aboard the bus. The rationale behind this is focused on the safety and security of the children. If there are pupils onboard, the driver must prioritize their supervision and protection. Leaving the bus unattended while pupils are present could pose a significant risk to their safety, as they would be left in a vulnerable situation. In situations where there are no passengers on board, the driver has more flexibility to leave the bus to seek help, provided that other safety protocols are observed. This reflects a commitment to maintaining the well-being of those in their care while addressing the need for assistance in an emergency.
