8 . If unable to tell if the road is becoming icy and slippery, a driver:
If you think the road surface may be becoming icy but you are not certain, you can open your window and feel the front of the side mirror, mirror support, or antenna. If ice has formed on any of these items, the road is likely becoming icy as well.
9 . Federal and state laws require:
Drivers to inspect their vehicles, but only if they will be transporting hazardous materials.
Commercial drivers are required by federal and state laws to inspect their vehicles before every trip. Regular inspections can help drivers identify issues before they become dangerous and costly.
10 . Which of the following is not a cause of hydraulic brake failure?
Most cases of hydraulic brake failure come from one of two causes. The brakes may fail due to a loss of hydraulic pressure or due to overuse on long hills, causing the brakes to fade.
11 . When approaching an active railroad crossing:
There will always be flashing warning lights.
At a railroad crossing, do not assume that you will hear an approaching train. Trains may be prohibited from sounding their horns in certain areas, or the sound of its horn may be covered by noise from your vehicle. Do not assume that warning lights or other signals will announce a train.
12 . A cargo van carrying a light load is usually:
Less stable than when carrying a heavier load.
The added weight of a heavy load will make a vehicle sit lower than usual. A vehicle will often be taller when carrying a light load than when carrying a heavy load. If your vehicle fits under an overpass while carrying a full load, it is not guaranteed that it will fit under the same overpass if it is empty.
13 . The radiator cap:
Never remove the radiator cap or any part of the pressurized cooling system until it has cooled. Opening the cap while the system is too hot could release steam and boiling water that could severely burn you. If the radiator cap is cool to the touch, the system is likely cool enough for you to open the cap.
14 . If you are turning left where there are two available turning lanes:
You should use both lanes.
If making a left turn where there is more than one available turn lane, you should always choose to take the rightmost lane. Large vehicles often have to swing right to make left turns, so it is safer for you to have other left-turning traffic to your left. This will allow you to have the best possible view of other turning vehicles and will lower the risk of your vehicle colliding with them.
