About the Kentucky CDL lights and stop arm test

The flashing lights and extended stop arm are a school bus driver's most powerful safety tools, and this Kentucky school bus lights and stop arm test makes sure you use them correctly for the S endorsement in 2026.

The school bus lights and stop arm test covers when to activate the amber and red warning lights, deploying the stop arm, and how to handle drivers who illegally pass a stopped bus. These procedures come directly from the Kentucky Commercial Driver License Manual school bus section.

Because the school bus exam question count differs by state, check your Kentucky CDL Manual for the exact number of questions before scheduling. Repeat this Kentucky school bus lights-and-stop-arm drill until the signaling sequence is automatic, and you will keep students safe on the 2026 CDL endorsement exam and at every stop.

Every question traces back to the Kentucky CDL Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
