If you have experience as a bus driver, walk the interviewer through the steps you know to take in the event of an accident. As a bus driver, some of the most critical steps in the event of an accident includes first assessing all individuals present on your vehicle, and then calling dispatch. You should have your bus number, route number, and exact location ready for the dispatcher. Also, you should call an ambulance if needed. You may not be trained as a bus driver yet. In this case, the interviewer will not expect a perfect response; however, they want to see that you have the basic instincts required to operate safely in the workplace.

"I have been trained step-by-step on the actions to take, should I be involved in an accident. I am happy to say that in my eight years of driving, I have not experienced an accident. First, I would make sure the vehicle was secured, and my hazard lights were on. I would check on the well being of each of my passengers, and call 9-1-1 if necessary. Then, I would reach central dispatch and report the accident, including all details such as passengers, location, and the cause of the issue. In the event of a fire or other hazard, I would lead each of my passengers to a safe location. I would also look for any witnesses to the accident. I am proud of the safety training that I have completed and feel confident that I would react appropriately in an emergency."
