Sample Georgia CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

A yellow warning sign shows both sides of the roadway tapering inward. What condition does it indicate?

This sign warns drivers that _____________.
  1. A Traffic-control devices are immediately ahead
  2. B The roadway becomes narrower ahead
  3. C The pavement ahead is slippery
  4. D Traffic will enter from a side road

Correct answer: B – The roadway becomes narrower ahead

The Road Narrows warning sign advises that the pavement width decreases ahead. It is used in advance of a roadway transition where the reduced width may require opposing vehicles to slow in order to pass safely. The sign does not by itself indicate a side-road entrance, slippery pavement, or an approaching traffic signal.

Question 2

At highway speed, looking 12 to 15 seconds ahead is approximately what distance?

  1. A One-eighth mile
  2. B One-quarter mile
  3. C One-half mile
  4. D Three-quarters mile

Correct answer: B – One-quarter mile

At highway speeds, a 12- to 15-second visual lead is approximately one-quarter mile. Looking that far ahead gives a commercial driver more time to recognize slowing traffic, vehicles entering the roadway, and other developing hazards. Attention should continue moving between distant conditions and the area closer to the vehicle.

Question 3

What does a red triangular emblem with an orange center on the rear of a vehicle identify?

  1. A A vehicle transporting hazardous materials
  2. B A slow-moving vehicle
  3. C A vehicle carrying an oversize load
  4. D A vehicle exempt from fuel taxes

Correct answer: B – A slow-moving vehicle

The Georgia CDL guide identifies a red triangle with an orange center as the slow-moving vehicle symbol. It may appear on tractors, farm machinery, construction equipment, and other vehicles that normally travel below the speed of surrounding traffic. Recognizing the emblem early gives the driver time to adjust speed and avoid a sudden response.

Question 4

A yellow diamond sign shows the roadway curving left and then right. What does it warn of?

This sign warns drivers to _________________.
  1. A Two sharp turns, beginning to the left
  2. B Two reverse curves, beginning to the left
  3. C An unpaved roadway beginning ahead
  4. D A single left curve

Correct answer: B – Two reverse curves, beginning to the left

A Reverse Curve sign warns that the road first curves in one direction and then curves in the opposite direction. The direction of the first bend shown on the sign matches the first curve drivers will encounter. It is different from a Reverse Turn sign, which is used for sharper alignment changes.

Question 5

Which is not part of the Georgia CDL skills examination?

  1. A A materials-handling test
  2. B A pre-trip vehicle inspection test
  3. C A basic vehicle-control skills test
  4. D An on-road driving test

Correct answer: A – A materials-handling test

The CDL skills examination covers vehicle inspection, basic vehicle-control skills, and on-road driving. Federal testing standards require applicants to demonstrate competency in those three areas. Operating forklifts or other material-handling equipment is not one of the required CDL skills-test components.

Question 6

If the brakes on a combination vehicle become wet, which problem can result?

  1. A Automatic hydroplaning above 30 mph
  2. B Hydroplaning regardless of roadway conditions
  3. C Immediate overheating of every brake
  4. D A trailer jackknife

Correct answer: D – A trailer jackknife

Water can make brakes weak, cause them to apply unevenly, or make them grab. These conditions may produce reduced braking power, locked wheels, or pulling to one side. If the vehicle is pulling a trailer, uneven or locked braking can lead to a jackknife. Wet brakes should be dried and tested when it is safe to do so.
