You need to:

|

Breakdowns |
|
|
|
|
|
Even if a walk-around of the bus is done daily and a regular maintenance schedule is followed, the bus may break down when you least expect it. If this happens on the road, do the following.
-
If possible, stop the bus in a safe place as far off the roadway as practical.
-
Analyze the situation. If the bus is stopped in a dangerous location, get the passengers off the bus and guide them to a safe location. If there is no danger, it is usually safer if the passengers stay on the bus.
-
If a breakdown occurs, and the vehicle is stationary on a highway outside the limits of an urban municipality during the period between sunrise and sunset (during the day), activate the emergency hazard lights. Place approved warning devices 30 metres (about 100 feet) in front of and behind the bus.
-
If a breakdown occurs, and the vehicle is stationary on a highway outside the limits of an urban municipality during the period between sunset and sunrise (in darkness), or anytime when there is not sufficient light to see people or vehicles clearly on a highway at a distance of 150 metres, activate the emergency hazard lights. Place approved warning devices 75 metres (about 250 feet) in front of and behind the bus.
