The online survey by GMAC contained multiple choice questions like this:
When you approach a school bus with flashing red lights, you should
A) Stop when approaching a bus from either the front or rear.
B) Slow when approaching a bus from the front or rear.
C) Stop only when approaching from the front.
D) Stop only when approaching a bus from the rear.
