West Virginia CDL Permit Test - Passenger

During the vehicle inspection test, you should check that the drive shaft is not bent or cracked.

While a bus is traveling, passengers may not stand any farther forward than the rear of the driver's seat. To mark this barrier, a bus that is designed to allow passengers to stand must have a two-inch line on the floor (or some other means of showing passengers where they cannot stand). This is known as the standee line.

For the first step of a vehicle inspection, you should review the last inspection report on your vehicle, if there is one. The carrier should have repaired any problems noted on the report.

If you must drive in reverse, you should first walk around the vehicle to check for hazards in your path of travel. Make frequent use of the mirrors on both sides of your vehicle while backing. Always back up as slowly as possible.

Hazardous materials must be diamond-shaped and a size of at least 10 ¾ square inches.

If steering begins to feel heavy, it is likely that one of your front tires has failed. If you feel a change to your steering, you should exit the road as quickly as is safely possible and check your tires.

The suspension system holds up a vehicle and its load while keeping the axles in place. Faults in a vehicle's suspension system are extremely dangerous.
