Carrying Passengers Practice Questions
About This Topic
Written for bus and coach drivers, this module covers the duty of care to passengers: stopping at stances, wheelchair access and priority spaces, luggage, standing passengers and dealing with difficult situations on board. Comfort matters too — smooth braking and acceleration is a recurring theme.
What the DVSA tests here
- Boarding, alighting and stopping close to the kerb safely
- Accessibility duties: ramps, wheelchair spaces and priority seating
- Driving smoothly to protect standing and seated passengers
Practising this topic
You can work through 69 questions covering carrying passengers, with an explanation after every answer to reinforce the rule being tested. The LGV and PCV multiple-choice exam runs to 100 questions with a pass mark of 85, drawing on every module in the vocational syllabus. Once your score settles above the pass threshold, move on to a timed mock test to check the topic holds up under exam pressure.
In the run-up to test day
Professional drivers usually revise around shifts, which makes short, focused sessions the practical choice: a module like this one can be reviewed in fifteen minutes at the start or end of a working day. Treat exact figures — weights, hours, pressures and speed limits — as facts to memorise rather than rules of thumb, because the exam tests them precisely. Once the module feels secure, fold it into 100-question mock papers so your accuracy holds across the full hour and fifty-five minutes of the real test.
