8 . Why do drivers have to inspect their vehicles?
It adds to the amount of time for which they will be paid.
Federal and state laws require drivers to inspect their vehicles before driving to ensure that they are safe to operate.
9 . A thin layer of ice that forms on road surfaces is called:
Blue ice.
Black ice is a thin layer of ice that is clear enough for the road surface to be seen through it. A road covered in black ice may look like it is merely wet. You should be very careful when temperatures are below freezing and the road looks wet.
10 . 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.
11 . Belts in the engine compartment should be:
Easy to slide off.
When inspecting your vehicle's engine, check the belts for tightness and excessive wear. The amount of "give" that is safe for each belt in a given engine will vary, so learn what is appropriate for your vehicle.
12 . Air tank drains:
Must remain open while driving.
Compressed air in an air brake system usually contains a certain amount of water and compressor oil. The water and oil can damage the brakes if left to accumulate in the system. Manually operated air tank drains must be opened daily to remove this build-up.
13 . A commercial motor vehicle should:
Always be equipped with at least one fire extinguisher.
Vehicles must be equipped with the appropriate emergency equipment. When inspecting a CMV, you should check for at least one fire extinguisher; spare electrical fuses, unless the vehicle is equipped with circuit breakers; and the appropriate warning devices to be used when the vehicle is parked.
14 . After a trip:
A vehicle's battery should be disconnected.
After a trip, you may be required to perform an inspection and file a report on each vehicle that you've driven.
