Questions (3)
1. During the on-road driving test, you should:
- Develop your own route to show off your driving skills.
- Listen to directions from the examiner. ✓
- Bring a passenger to ride with you.
- Drive in an unsafe manner.
Answer: B. Listen to directions from the examiner.
You should listen to and follow the examiner's directions during the on-road driving test. The Texas CDL handbook says the examiner scores your specific maneuvers and general driving behavior, and you are to follow the examiner's directions. It also says directions are given with enough time to respond and that you will not be asked to do anything unsafe. Another section warns that failing to follow examiner instructions can cause automatic failure, so paying attention to those directions is the expected and safe action.
2. When asked to make a lane change during the driving test, you should:
- Make the change as soon as the examiner asks, without looking.
- Use your turn signal and change lanes when safe. ✓
- Make the lane change as quickly as possible, even if that means cutting off another driver.
Answer: B. Use your turn signal and change lanes when safe.
You should use your turn signal and change lanes when it is safe, after making the necessary traffic checks. The handbook's on-road driving section says that during lane-change portions of the test you will be asked to move left and then back right. It tells you to make the necessary traffic checks first, then use proper signals and change lanes smoothly when it is safe. The driving-safely section adds that lane changes are a special situation and that you check mirrors before changing lanes to make sure there is room. That supports signaling and waiting for a safe gap rather than moving immediately or rushing.
3. When taking the on-road driving test, you must do all of the following, except:
- Wear your safety belt.
- Obey all traffic signs.
- Complete the test without an accident.
- Demonstrate that you can use your cell phone while driving. ✓
Answer: D. Demonstrate that you can use your cell phone while driving.
