What should a driver always do before allowing students to exit the bus?

Make sure the bus is on a straight road
Ensure the area is clear of any obstructions
Check the time of day
Have students sing a safety song

The correct answer is: Ensure the area is clear of any obstructions

A driver must always ensure the area is clear of any obstructions before allowing students to exit the bus to ensure their safety. This is crucial because students are often distracted and may not be aware of their surroundings. A clear area allows the driver to confidently open the door and facilitate a safe exit for the students. It is important to check for both pedestrians and any potential hazards, such as vehicles or objects that could pose a risk. By prioritizing a clear environment, the driver significantly reduces the chances of accidents and enhances the overall safety of the boarding and exiting process. In contrast, while making sure the bus is on a straight road might seem relevant, it does not directly address safety around the bus as students exit. Checking the time of day is not directly related to the students' safety, and having students sing a safety song, though this might be a fun safety practice, does not directly ensure their well-being as they exit.
