36 . How much water is needed on a road surface for a vehicle to hydroplane?
No water
Hydroplaning is an effect in which a vehicle's tires lose traction with the surface of the road and instead glide along a layer of water. There does not have to be much water on the road for this to occur.
37 . A person working on a disabled vehicle on the shoulder of a road:
Should not be assisted.
Be cautious when driving near people who are working on disabled vehicles. The task will likely consume their attention, so they may not be aware of traffic or other hazards on the road.
38 . If turning to avoid a hazard:
You should hold down the brakes until you are past the hazard.
If you are turning to avoid a hazard, do not apply the brakes while you are turning. This could easily lock the wheels and create a skid.

On the top
A dolly equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is required to have a yellow malfunction lamp located on its left side.
40 . When alley docking, your vehicle should be parked:
At an angle within the boundaries of the parking space.
If you are asked to alley dock, you should first pull past the alley and stop your vehicle in a position that is parallel to the outer boundary. From there, you should back your vehicle entirely into the alley parking area. Your vehicle should be parked in a straight position within the boundaries of the parking space.
41 . The maximum speed limit in a school zone where children are present, unless otherwise posted, is:
40 mph.
Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in West Virginia school zones where children are present is 15 mph. Always drive with caution when you are near children or other pedestrians.
42 . A danger of a large truck swerving to avoid a hazard is:
Other vehicles may do the same thing.
Swerving out of the way of a hazard is sometimes safer than trying to stop before reaching the hazard. You can usually turn away from something more quickly than you can come to a complete stop. However, swerving while in a vehicle that is either top-heavy or pulling multiple trailers may result in a rollover.
