Yielding to transit buses — Tennessee Permit Test

Yielding to transit buses on the Tennessee permit test — 1 rule, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

You must yield the right-of-way to a transit bus that has signaled and is pulling back onto the road from a bus stop.

A city bus cannot wait forever for a gap. Letting it pull out keeps the bus on time and you out of its path.

You must yield the right-of-way to any transit vehicle (metro bus) that has signaled and is pulling back onto the roadway from a bus stop.

On the test

A city bus has signaled and is pulling out from a bus stop. What must you do?

Yield and let it pull out. A city bus cannot wait forever for a gap. Letting it pull out keeps the bus on time and you out of its path. Tennessee Comprehensive Driver License Manual, p.54: “You must yield the right-of-way to any transit vehicle (metro bus) that has signaled and is pulling back onto the roadway from a bus stop.”

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
