Questions (5)
1. Laws about securing loads and regulating CMV weights may vary from state to state. During interstate travel:
- The law of the state in which the trip originated takes precedence.
- The law of the state the vehicle is in takes precedence. ✓
- The driver should request federal regulations to override conflicting state laws.
- The driver can choose which state’s laws to follow.
Answer: B. The law of the state the vehicle is in takes precedence.
2. One way to overcome the challenges of blind spots is to:
- Drive faster than surrounding vehicles so no other drivers can pass you.
- Drive in the left lane, allowing you to only worry about vehicles to your right.
- Make frequent mirror checks and assess the positions of surrounding vehicles. ✓
- Avoid using your mirrors.
Answer: C. Make frequent mirror checks and assess the positions of surrounding vehicles.
Make frequent mirror checks and keep track of where surrounding vehicles are, so you know when one has slipped into a blind spot. The handbook says you cannot see everything with your mirrors, since blind spots exist that they do not show. That is exactly why it tells you to check your mirrors regularly: to know where other vehicles are around you and to notice when one moves into a blind spot. Checking often keeps you aware of traffic on both sides and behind, which matters if you suddenly need to change lanes.
3. If stopped on the road or shoulder, within 10 minutes, you must:
- Place emergency warning devices. ✓
- Alert local law enforcement.
- Stand behind your vehicle and motion for traffic to pass you.
- Call a mechanic.
Answer: A. Place emergency warning devices.
If you stop on the road or shoulder, you must place your emergency warning devices within 10 minutes. The handbook says that when you pull off the road and stop, you should turn on your four-way emergency flashers. It also says that if you must stop on a road or the shoulder, you must put out your emergency warning devices within ten minutes, and it then gives placement distances for those devices. That makes placing the warning devices the required action inside that ten-minute window, so the answer is the choice about setting out emergency warning devices.
4. When changing lanes:
- You should move your vehicle quickly.
- You should move your vehicle slowly. ✓
- The move should be made with a jerking motion.
- You do not need to use a turn signal.
Answer: B. You should move your vehicle slowly.
You should move your vehicle slowly when changing lanes. The handbook says to put your turn signal on before changing lanes, then change lanes slowly and smoothly. That slow, smooth move gives a driver you did not see a chance to honk or avoid you. Moving slowly is the answer that matches the handbook; the passage does not support quick movements or jerking the vehicle.
5. When changing lanes, turn signals:
- Should not be used.
- Should only be used if a vehicle is close to you.
- Should be used each time. ✓
Answer: C. Should be used each time.
Turn signals should be used each time you change lanes. The handbook's lane-change instructions start with putting your turn signal on before you change lanes, and it tells you to check your mirrors again after you have signaled to confirm nobody slipped into your blind spot. The on-road section repeats that you activate turn signals when required and cancel them once the lane change is finished. Nothing in these passages makes signaling depend on whether another vehicle happens to be near you, so the signal is simply part of every lane change.
