Correct: A steady rain is the exception — while it starts slippery, continuous rain eventually washes the road clean, whereas black ice, melting ice, and fresh rain are all hazardous.

Correct: Make sure you are fully through the intersection before beginning the left turn to avoid cutting the corner and encroaching on oncoming lanes.

Correct: Never back up to make room for a right turn — instead wait for a gap in traffic that gives you enough space to complete the turn safely.

Correct: You must put out emergency warning devices within 10 minutes any time you stop on a road or shoulder — prompt placement protects you and other drivers.

Correct: Vehicles moving in the same direction at the same speed are not likely to collide with each other because there is no closing speed between them.

Correct: After receiving your CDL permit in Pennsylvania you must wait 15 days before taking the skills test — this applies to Class A, B, and C vehicles.

Correct: Confirming the parking brake is set before starting the pre-trip inspection is required — it ensures the vehicle remains stationary while you work around it.

Correct: Every commercial vehicle must carry a fire extinguisher, spare electrical fuses, and warning devices — all three are mandatory, not optional.

Correct: ABS malfunction does not disable your regular brakes — continue driving normally using standard braking technique and have the ABS system serviced as soon as possible.

Correct: Looking far ahead does not replace close attention — good drivers shift their eyes between long-range scanning and the area immediately in front of the vehicle.

Correct: Refusing an alcohol test results in a 12-month CDL disqualification — by operating a CMV in Pennsylvania you have already given consent to testing.

Correct: In a vehicle with ABS brake normally — apply the brakes as you always would, use only the force needed to stop safely, and let the system prevent wheel lockup.

Correct: The on-the-road skills test measures your ability to control the vehicle in real traffic conditions — overall vehicle control is the core competency being evaluated.

Correct: A suspension of your personal vehicle driving privileges due to traffic violations automatically results in CDL suspension — no separate CDL offense is required.

Correct: A stale green light should be treated as likely to change — begin slowing down and be prepared to stop rather than assuming it will remain green as you approach.

Correct: Before each trip you must ensure the cargo is balanced and secured — proper balance prevents handling problems and securement prevents shifting or loss of load.

Correct: Low clearance warnings are sometimes missing at bridges and overpasses, so you must always verify clearance independently and never assume signage is present.

Correct: Do not signal other drivers to pass — you may not be aware of hazards they cannot see, and if a crash occurs you bear some responsibility for waving them on.

Correct: Checking your mirrors regularly can help you spot a tire fire — a rear tire problem may show as smoke in the mirror before the driver feels or hears anything.
