1Before moving a bus away from a stop, what should the driver confirm?
A.Boarding is complete, passengers are clear of danger, doors are secure, and the path is safe
B.The doors have begun closing, even if a passenger is still stepping aboard
C.The bus ahead has moved, regardless of pedestrians near the front
D.Standing passengers have released every handhold
Explanation: A safe departure requires control of passenger, door, pedestrian, and traffic hazards at the same time. The driver should not move until boarding and alighting are complete and the intended path has been checked.
2Why should a bus driver wait until passengers are stable before accelerating?
A.Acceleration removes load from every passenger seat
B.Acceleration can make unprepared passengers lose balance and fall
C.A stationary passenger cannot use a handhold effectively
D.Passenger balance matters only above motorway speed
Explanation: Passengers experience a rearward relative movement when the bus accelerates, and some may be standing, elderly, or mobility-impaired. Smooth departure after passengers are stable reduces avoidable falls.
3How can passengers standing mainly on one side affect a bus?
A.They automatically increase the authorized axle limits
B.They lower the centre of gravity below the floor
C.They can shift the centre of mass sideways and reduce stability margin
D.They prevent body roll during a turn
Explanation: Passenger position is part of the vehicle's live load and can move the combined centre of mass sideways. Smooth steering and speed appropriate to the load are essential, especially on bends and uneven surfaces.
4A passenger places a heavy bag in the aisle beside an exit. What should the driver require before departure?
A.Leave it there if its owner can still see it
B.Move it to the edge of a passenger seat without restraint
C.Have a standing passenger hold it throughout the journey
D.Stow or secure it so it cannot move or obstruct the aisle and exit
Explanation: A heavy object can move under braking or cornering and an obstructed aisle can delay evacuation. It should be stowed or restrained in an appropriate place before the bus moves.
5A standing passenger begins walking toward the exit while the bus approaches a stop. What driving technique best reduces fall risk?
A.Anticipate early and use progressive braking with minimal steering change
B.Delay braking and make one firm application near the stop
C.Steer toward the kerb while applying the maximum brake pressure
D.Alternate acceleration and braking so the passenger notices the stop
Explanation: Early, progressive deceleration reduces the peak force acting on a moving passenger. Combining hard braking with abrupt steering creates lateral and longitudinal forces that are difficult to withstand.
6Why does a long bus need extra care around the inside of a tight turn?
A.Its rear wheels always steer outside the front-wheel path
B.Its rear wheels track inside the path taken by its front wheels
C.Its body becomes narrower as steering angle increases
D.Its wheelbase shortens automatically below walking speed
Explanation: Rear-wheel off-tracking makes the inside rear of a long vehicle pass closer to the kerb or corner. The driver must protect pedestrians, cyclists, street furniture, and adjacent vehicles throughout the turn.
7When a bus begins a tight turn, what does the term tail swing describe?
A.The inside rear wheel follows a tighter path than the front wheel
B.The suspension lowers while passengers board
C.The rear body moves outward in the opposite direction as the front turns
D.The bus drifts sideways only in strong crosswinds
Explanation: Bodywork behind the rear axle swings outward when the driver turns the front of the bus. This differs from off-tracking, which describes the inside rear-wheel path.
8A route passes under a structure with a posted clearance close to the bus's known height. What is the safe decision?
A.Proceed slowly because low speed reduces the bus's height
B.Follow another bus through without checking its dimensions
C.Move to the road crown because the posted clearance never applies there
D.Do not proceed unless adequate clearance for the actual bus and conditions is certain
Explanation: The driver must know the actual vehicle height and allow for road profile, suspension, load, and any rooftop equipment. If clearance is uncertain, the route must not be attempted.
9A strong crosswind begins affecting a high-sided bus on an exposed road. What should the driver do?
A.Reduce speed smoothly, hold a stable course, and allow extra lateral margin
B.Steer sharply into each gust after it moves the bus
C.Accelerate so the bus spends less time in the exposed section
D.Drive close beside a smaller vehicle as a wind shield
Explanation: A high-sided vehicle presents a large area to crosswind, and gusts can cause sudden lateral movement. Lower speed and additional space reduce the consequences while smooth steering avoids overcorrection.
10Why should a bus driver maintain more following space than is needed merely to see the rear bumper ahead?
A.Air brakes remove the driver's reaction phase
B.The space must cover observation, reaction, braking, and a changing passenger load
C.Passengers reduce the bus's kinetic energy
D.A large windscreen guarantees a shorter stopping distance
Explanation: Stopping begins only after the driver perceives and responds, and the bus then needs distance to decelerate smoothly. Vehicle mass, brake condition, road grip, gradient, and passenger stability all affect the margin needed.

About the Algeria Permis Catégorie D Exam

Algeria's current Category D covers vehicles assigned to passenger transport with more than eight passengers excluding the driver or more than eight passenger seats besides the driver's seat, with a trailer up to 750 kg under the base category. The 2024 national curriculum assigns 20 hours of theoretical and 20 hours of practical training, and Law n° 26-09 confirms category-specific assessment. Collective-passenger transport work may also require the separate brevet professionnel. Current primary sources reviewed here do not publish the official assessment language, delivery modality, duration, item count, numeric pass mark, or national examination fee. This 24-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation and does not simulate the official format or replace practical bus instruction.

Assessment

Law n° 26-09, Articles 64 and 68, requires the licence corresponding to the vehicle category, completion of the prescribed category training, and theoretical and practical tests. The reviewed public sources do not specify a separate named passenger-technology paper or named practical sub-stages.
