Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

What is the minimum distance between your vehicle and any school bus when its stop arm is extended?

10 feet 12 feet 15 feet 20 feet

Correct Answer:

15 feet

Explanation:

When a school bus stop arm is extended, it signals the presence of children entering or exiting the bus. Therefore, it is important to maintain a safe distance to avoid any potential accidents. Option A (10 feet) is incorrect because this distance is insufficient to ensure the safety of both the children and the driver. Option B (12 feet) is also incorrect as it is still not enough distance to prevent a collision with the school bus. Option D (20 feet) is incorrect because it is too far and may cause confusion for other drivers and pedestrians. The minimum recommended distance is option C (15 feet), which allows for a safe stopping distance for drivers and adequate space for students to safely enter and exit the bus.
