California CDL Permit Test - Passenger

The aisles and stairwells of a bus should always be kept clear. Luggage and freight must be placed in a location that allows passengers to exit through any window or door in the event of an emergency.

Texting while driving is particularly dangerous because it is both a mental and physical distraction to the driver. In addition to diverting a driver's mental attention away from the road, texting requires a person to remove at least one hand from the vehicle's controls.

On many vehicles, multi-speed rear axles and auxiliary transmissions are used to provide extra gears.

It is important to inspect your tires before every drive. Rust around wheel nuts may indicate that they are loose.

When backing a truck, always use the mirrors on both sides of the vehicle. Have someone help you whenever possible.

If you are not sure which kind of extinguisher should be used on a fire in your vehicle, particularly a hazardous materials fire, you should wait for the firefighters to arrive and allow them to extinguish it.

Distractions that can affect safe driving can be classified as physical (such as reaching for an object), mental (such as talking with passenger), or both (such as talking on a hand-held phone).
