Cheat sheet for cdl written test

this was my answer to turning from which lane " Also in my opinion and experience turning from the inside left turn lane results in you having to go into the right lane which is bad as cars are going passed you there, and trying to miss the median or left turn lane of the cross traffic. I use the outer lane ." As you can see I know it is the outside lane . you misunderstood my long answer .

I did that question again this morning . I see the problem . It is the problem I have reading questions and how my brain interprets them . The question was basically " What should you always do when making a left hand turn "
I interpreted this as " I am pulling up to an intersection and wan to turn left . what should I do ? " Well I would do like anyone else and stop behind the line if red light or traffic coming . then accelerate when clear and then ( this was the correct answer ) " go to the middle of the intersection and then turn " .
What the question was really asking was " How do you turn left at an intersection . The wording fooled me . Of course you turn from middle as otherwise as you noted you are going to run over the median.

 

I might point out to any new drivers wanting their cdl in Kansas anyway . On our test there is a lot of questions that require remembering numbers and facts . things like reaction , braking and stopping ar not just " a football field length or half of one " you need to be able to answer 3/4 sec and 61 ' and 216' and 419' . Along with other things like how many people die each year and many other things I have not yet run across in any online practice tests.
Also so far I have not found any questions on naming suspension , steering brake and other parts . Which is on our tests in kansas .

 

Renewing was a breeze in Kansas today. Dumped my T endorsement since I am not crazy . See too many of them blowing all over in this Kansas wind . I would not even pull a single van after watching all the roll overs and such around here . Okay i am a chicken . I'll stick to grain, end dump and flatbed. I like all my tires to stay put on the road .

Now that is how it should be . Actually i think they should keep a data base of all your tickets even warnings over the last 4 years and look at that and decide if you need to study up and take a test.

I did take all the practice tests on this site . Only missed 3 in GK . Missed a few in some of the others . did pretty good guessing at tanker questions since I do not drive one . Only got 2 wrong .
I got in some good studying anyway . read the manual several times and took all them tests and looked up the meanings of things I did not know about instead of just checking out the proper answer .

 

KW Cajon ; My bad . I thought you misunderstood one of my rambling posts .

Oh hey I forgot to add in the reason why renewal went so well today . kansas got tired of wasting money on nonsense and did away with the written test for renewals . Also went to another county and there was no line at all . 1 minute to the counter and pay and out the door ! amazing experience at the dmv . I am going to go get me a hazmat next . I am sure that is a test .

 

pullin trains ; Did NY still have the test when first getting a cdl ? Or just have no renewal test ?
Ok used to have a cdl test that required you to answer a few questions on turning and brakes . No drive test required . All you needed was the class C and take the short written cdl test.

Here you of course still have to pass the written test to get your cdl just not to renew it . they may actually be looking at your mvr to make that decision as this has been in effect for over 4 years now and the last time I took mine I had a ticket still on it and I had to take the written test then.
