43 . To inspect slack adjusters on S-cam brakes, you need to:
Chock the wheels and disengage the parking brake.
Check each slack adjuster after parking on level ground, setting wheel chocks, and disengaging the parking brake. Pull the slack adjusters to make sure they do not move more than about one inch from where the push rod is attached. If they move more than one inch, they may be out of adjustment and will need to be fixed.
44 . When entering a foggy area, you should:
Use your high beam headlights.
Always slow down before entering a foggy area. Use low beam headlights, avoid passing others, and avoid stopping on the side of the roadway. It is safest to completely avoid driving under foggy conditions, if possible.
45 . What is the average driver’s reaction time?
Two seconds
The average driver has a reaction time of between three-quarters of a second and one second.
46 . When inspecting engine compartment belts during the vehicle inspection test:
The applicant must identify which items are not belt-driven, if any.
When checking the engine compartment during the vehicle inspection test, you must check the power steering, water pump, alternator, and air compressor belts. In addition to cracks and frays, you should check the belts for snugness, allowing up to three-quarters of an inch of play at the center of each belt. If any of these items are not belt-driven, you must identify them and ensure that their components are operating properly, are not damaged or leaking, and are mounted securely.
47 . Distracted driving:
Can be avoided by not engaging in complex conversations while driving.
To reduce the risk of distraction, do not engage in complex or emotionally intense conversations while driving. Pre-programming radio stations before your trip and avoiding eating, drinking, or smoking while at the wheel can also help you avoid becoming distracted while driving. Remember that mental distractions that take your attention away from the task of driving can be just as dangerous as physical distractions.
48 . If a vehicle has a vehicle inspection report, the driver:
Should not conduct a pre-trip inspection and rely only on the report.
For the first step of a vehicle inspection, you should review the last inspection report on your vehicle, if there is one. The carrier should have repaired any problems noted on the report.
49 . During a pre-trip inspection, belts in the engine compartment should be:
Left alone and not inspected.
During a pre-trip inspection, belts in the engine compartment should be checked for tightness and excessive wear.
50 . Off-ramps:
Should be used only if following another vehicle.
The combination of slopes and curves can make freeway on- and off-ramps dangerous for trucks. Remember that posted speed limits on ramps may be safe to be driven by cars but too fast to be driven by large or heavily-loaded vehicles.
