It is just wrong. Passed the test, but no CDL

maybe you need to go to school and learn the right way.anyways good luck.

 

Add " coasting " to that list if your in Ga.
AND - I was taught to slow down , look both ways and tell the tester that your looking for a train and say " clear both ways " before going over the tracks .

 

We also have to look both ways before going over the tracks. We dont have to say anything.

 

That makes a lot of sense. Even though your tester is probably watching you look, the fact that you state something reinforces to the tester that you know you need to look both ways.

 

i didn't think you could drive for commerce with a permit? thats what the dmv told my wife,

 

When I attended school then did the road test for the dmv,it was an AF for coasting more then a trl length.

 

Is an auto trannie allowed to shift on a rr crossing?

 

The way I understood the rule/law, was you are required to maintain a safe steady speed. That being the case there would be no need for an autoshift to change gears. It should only change gears if your speeding up, or slowing down. I think FMCSA rules state, you must always slow down before a crossing, (slow enough to be able to stop before the first track if a train is coming) and look and listen for an approaching train, then proceed across the tracks.

 

So you pushed in the clutch BEFORE the tracks, and held it in across the tracks, and a full truck length before the light? Coasting that long and you are wondering why you failed?

 

well a retiring driver taught him all his bad habits he had gathered over the years
when i went to school last thanksgiving i had to unlearn things i taught myself in the seventies
really dbl clutching was quite a concept for me
