Sample Georgia CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

If a hydraulic brake system loses pressure, which response may help you stop safely?

  1. A. Downshift to use the engine’s braking effect
  2. B. Pump the brake pedal to try to build pressure
  3. C. Modulate the parking brake while searching for an escape route
  4. D. All of the above

Correct answer: D. – All of the above

When hydraulic pressure is lost, downshifting can help reduce speed and pumping the brake pedal may generate enough pressure to stop. The separate parking or emergency brake may also be applied carefully and modulated to avoid locking the wheels. At the same time, look for an escape ramp, an uphill road, an open field, or another suitable escape route.

Question 2

Which cargo arrangement best avoids placing too much weight on the front or rear axles?

  1. A. Concentrate the load near the front
  2. B. Concentrate the load near the rear
  3. C. Balance the load between the front and rear
  4. D. Stack the load as high as possible

Correct answer: C. – Balance the load between the front and rear

Cargo should be balanced rather than concentrated too far forward or rearward. Georgia’s CDL manual explains that excessive weight on the steering axle can make steering difficult and damage components. Moving too much weight rearward can leave the steering axle too lightly loaded for safe control, while insufficient weight on drive axles can reduce traction.

Question 3

Whenever possible, how should you arrange a combination vehicle before backing its trailer?

  1. A. Position it to back in a straight line
  2. B. Position it to back toward the passenger side
  3. C. Use a curved path even when unnecessary
  4. D. Choose the path requiring the fewest mirror checks

Correct answer: A. – Position it to back in a straight line

Position the vehicle so the trailer can be backed in a straight line whenever possible. If a curved backing path is necessary, back toward the driver’s side for better visibility. Inspect the path first, use both mirrors, move slowly, correct drift promptly, and pull forward to reposition when needed.

Question 4

A yellow diamond warning sign displaying a black Y-shaped symbol indicates:

This sign warns drivers to _____________.
  1. A. A T-intersection ahead
  2. B. A Y-intersection ahead
  3. C. A roadway construction zone ahead
  4. D. A dip in the roadway ahead

Correct answer: B. – A Y-intersection ahead

The Y-Intersection warning sign indicates that the roadway ahead has a Y-shaped intersection. Intersection warning signs depict the general configuration drivers will encounter and warn of the possibility of turning or entering traffic. The sign itself does not indicate that road construction or a pavement dip is ahead.

Question 5

What should you do when another vehicle is following your commercial vehicle too closely?

  1. A. Brake sharply to warn the other driver
  2. B. Flash the brake lights repeatedly
  3. C. Increase the space between your vehicle and the traffic ahead
  4. D. Accelerate until the following vehicle drops back

Correct answer: C. – Increase the space between your vehicle and the traffic ahead

Georgia’s CDL guide advises increasing your following distance when you are being tailgated. More room ahead reduces the need for sudden braking or steering and can make it easier for the other vehicle to pass. Avoid quick changes, signal early, slow gradually when necessary, and do not speed up or use brake-light tricks.

Question 6

What do crash statistics show about drivers who have consumed alcohol?

  1. A. Their crash risk is unchanged if they feel alert
  2. B. Their chance of a crash is much greater than for drivers who have not been drinking
  3. C. Alcohol affects driving only after the legal limit is reached
  4. D. They are less likely to make serious driving errors

Correct answer: B. – Their chance of a crash is much greater than for drivers who have not been drinking

Crash statistics show that drivers who have been drinking have a much greater chance of crashing than drivers who have not. Alcohol affects judgment, vision, coordination, and reaction time and can cause errors such as weaving, speeding, delayed reactions, and lane-control problems. A driver’s belief that they feel alert does not remove these impairing effects.
