Does a school bus driver need a special license to operate the motor vehicle?

No, they do not
Yes, a permit is needed
Only out of state drivers
Only when transporting students

The correct answer is: Yes, a permit is needed

While it may seem like any driver's license would suffice for a school bus driver, in most states it is actually required for them to have a special license in order to operate a school bus. The license typically requires additional training and testing to ensure that the driver is qualified and capable of operating a larger vehicle filled with young passengers. Options A and C are incorrect because they state that no special license is needed, which is not accurate. Option D is also incorrect because it only mentions transporting students, when in reality the license is required for operating the vehicle itself, regardless of whether or not students are on board.
