Connecticut CDL Permit Test - Tank

During the vehicle inspection test, you will be required to do a complete inspection of your vehicle. During this inspection, you must explain to the examiner what you are inspecting and why you are inspecting those items.

Slow down and be very careful if you see foreign objects in your lane. Remember that even something that seems relatively light and harmless, like a cardboard box, could contain harder or heavier items that could cause damage to your vehicle.

When trailer air lines are color-coded, the service lines are generally blue and the emergency lines are generally red.

You should always exercise caution when driving near a stopped bus. There could be passengers in the vicinity and the bus may either prevent them from seeing you or you from seeing them.

You will not be able to brake or steer your vehicle without adequate traction. Ensure that your tires are in proper working condition before beginning a trip.

The "crack-the-whip" effect can cause a trailer to turn over during a lane change. To avoid this phenomenon, drivers should make lane changes at slow, safe speeds.

To avoid becoming an aggressive driver, begin a trip with realistic expectations of how long the trip will take, allowing extra time for traffic delays. Do not tailgate other vehicles. To avoid upsetting other drivers, do not drive slowly in the left lane and do not gesture at the drivers (even in seemingly minor ways, like shaking your head).
