29 . On a truck with air brakes, the braking system’s air compressor:
Cleans the brakes.

30 . During the vehicle inspection portion of the skills test, an applicant will be required to:
Take apart the front brake.
During the vehicle inspection skills test, you will need to explain to the examiner what you are inspecting and why.
31 . A truck may need to be under the legal maximum weight limit when being driven:
At night.
Under some driving conditions, it may not be safe to operate a vehicle at its full legal maximum weight. Keep this in mind when driving in poor weather or on mountainous roadways.
32 . Failing to exit your vehicle properly during an exercise in the basic vehicle control skills test will result in:
An extra point against your score.
When exiting your vehicle during the basic vehicle control skills test, you must face the vehicle and maintain three points of contact at all times. If your testing vehicle is a bus, you must maintain contact with the handrail. Exiting the vehicle incorrectly may result in automatic failure of the basic control skills test.
33 . Once stopped as a part of the stop/start maneuver, you should:
Park in front of a fire hydrant.
Once you have stopped as a part of the stop/start maneuver during the on-road driving skills test, you must activate your four-way flashers and shift into neutral or park. You must not block any driveways, intersections, fire hydrants, or signs.
34 . If you are being tailgated, you should:
Allow the vehicle to pass.
If you are being tailgated, it is best to allow more room to open up in front of your vehicle. This will help you avoid the need for sudden stops, which could result in the tailgater rear-ending you, and will make it easier for the tailgater to pass. Speeding up may only make things more dangerous by prompting the other driver to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.
35 . If feeling sleepy while driving, you should:
Take an energy pill.
If you begin to feel sleepy while driving, the only safe response is to stop driving and get some sleep. Attempting to fight off exhaustion is dangerous and a major cause of fatal crashes. Stimulants are not a safe solution because they may help keep you awake but will not make you more alert. Once stimulants wear off, you will be even more tired than you were originally.
