Operating Bus - Kuwait Driving Theory Test

If you operate a bus without a valid commercial license

Operating a bus requires a valid heavy vehicle driving license in Kuwait. Drivers must complete formal training, pass a road test, and meet medical and age requirements to be certified.

When you do not complete a pre-trip inspection

Bus drivers must inspect brakes, tires, steering, lights, emergency exits, and passenger equipment before driving. Faults must be reported and fixed before service.

If your bus is overloaded with passengers

Exceeding capacity affects braking, maneuverability, and stability. Passenger limits are defined by law and must be followed to ensure comfort and safety.

When you drive with obstructed mirrors or dirty windshields

Clear mirrors and clean glass are essential for safe operation. Drivers must adjust all mirrors before moving and ensure no blind spots are left unchecked.

If you do not follow designated bus routes

Bus drivers in Kuwait are expected to follow approved routes and schedules. Unauthorized detours can lead to disciplinary action and public service complaints.

When you fail to yield to pedestrians at bus stops

Bus drivers must approach stops carefully, scan for crossing pedestrians, and allow passengers to board or exit safely before moving again.

If your vehicle does not have a functioning emergency exit

Emergency exits must be clearly marked, unobstructed, and regularly tested. All drivers should know evacuation procedures and ensure exits are accessible at all times.

When you leave your bus unattended with the engine running

Buses must be turned off and secured when not in operation. Parking brakes must be applied, and keys removed to prevent unauthorized movement.

If you fail to secure standing passengers

Standing passengers must be warned to hold onto safety bars, and drivers should drive smoothly. In some buses, standing is not allowed beyond a certain number.

When you drive aggressively in traffic

Bus operators must practice defensive driving. Aggressive acceleration, tailgating, or swerving violates professional standards and endangers public safety.

If you ignore low-clearance signs

Drivers must know the height of their bus and be aware of tunnel, bridge, and parking structure limits. Collisions with low structures can cause major injuries and damage.

When you allow passengers to stand in doorways or stairwells

Passengers must remain clear of doorways and steps to ensure quick evacuation and balance during movement.

If your bus lacks a fire extinguisher or first aid kit

Buses must be equipped with safety tools, including extinguishers, first aid kits, and warning triangles. Regular checks ensure these items are usable and within expiry dates.

When your bus is not clearly marked with route and destination

Buses must display route numbers, destination boards, and operator info. Clear signage improves passenger experience and prevents confusion.

If you fail to report a collision immediately

All accidents involving buses must be reported to authorities and company management. Proper documentation and cooperation with investigation are required.

When you leave a disabled passenger without assistance

Bus drivers must help passengers with disabilities board safely, use ramps or lifts, and ensure seating is available. Kuwait enforces transport accessibility policies.

If your bus emits excessive smoke or noise

Buses must meet emission and noise standards in Kuwait. Regular maintenance ensures compliance, and violators can be fined or pulled from service.

When you talk on a handheld phone while driving

Hands-free devices are permitted, but unnecessary conversations should be avoided. Driver focus must remain fully on the road and passengers.

If you fail to adjust speed on curves or slippery roads

Buses must slow down before curves or hazards. Due to their height and weight, buses are prone to rollover if taken too fast or without traction control.

When your headlights or brake lights are not functioning

All lights must be working, especially during night or poor visibility. Proper lighting ensures safe signaling and prevents rear-end crashes.
