Sample New Hampshire CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

Which statement about fatigue and alert driving is correct?

  1. A Coffee provides the same recovery as a full period of sleep
  2. B Stimulant drugs eliminate the effects of fatigue
  3. C A person cannot fall asleep while sitting upright
  4. D Sleep is the only safe cure when a driver is drowsy

Correct answer: D – Sleep is the only safe cure when a driver is drowsy

If you become drowsy, the only safe cure is to leave the road and get some sleep. Caffeine may increase awareness for a few hours, but its effect eventually wears off. Drugs might keep a person awake temporarily without making that person alert enough to drive safely.

Question 2

If no qualified responder is available, which actions are appropriate when assisting an injured person at a crash scene?

  1. A Move the person only when fire or passing traffic creates danger
  2. B Control heavy bleeding by applying direct pressure
  3. C Keep the injured person warm
  4. D All of the above

Correct answer: D – All of the above

Do not move a severely injured person unless fire or passing traffic makes movement necessary. Heavy bleeding should be controlled by applying direct pressure to the wound, and the injured person should be kept warm. If a qualified person is already providing care, remain out of the way unless asked to assist.

Question 3

A yellow diamond sign displaying a black cross symbol warns of:

This sign indicates _________________.
  1. A A pedestrian crosswalk ahead
  2. B A railroad crossing ahead
  3. C A roadside rest area ahead
  4. D A crossroad intersection ahead

Correct answer: D – A crossroad intersection ahead

The Cross Road warning sign indicates that an intersection is ahead and that traffic might turn or enter from another roadway. When this sign appears on a New Hampshire roadway, scan the intersection area for vehicles and other potential conflicts. It is a warning sign, not an instruction to stop automatically.

Question 4

What action is required at a standard red, octagonal STOP sign?

When approaching this sign, you are required to _____________.
  1. A Look for trains without stopping
  2. B Drive through slowly if the intersection appears clear
  3. C Come to a complete stop
  4. D Treat the sign as advisory only

Correct answer: C – Come to a complete stop

A STOP sign requires a complete stop. Under New Hampshire law, stop before entering the near-side crosswalk; if there is no crosswalk, stop at the clearly marked stop line; if neither exists, stop at the nearest point where you can see approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway. Proceed only after completing the required stop and observing applicable right-of-way rules.

Question 5

How should you check a hydraulic brake system for leaks?

  1. A Skip the check because hydraulic systems cannot leak
  2. B Drive slowly and judge the system only by stopping distance
  3. C Pump the pedal three times, then hold firm pressure for five seconds and check for pedal movement
  4. D Press the brake and accelerator pedals together and check whether the vehicle moves

Correct answer: C – Pump the pedal three times, then hold firm pressure for five seconds and check for pedal movement

With the vehicle stopped, pump the hydraulic brake pedal three times. Apply firm pressure and hold the pedal for five seconds; the pedal should not move. Pedal movement can indicate a leak or another brake-system problem that must be repaired before the vehicle is driven.

Question 6

At a triangular red-and-white YIELD sign, which action is required?

When approaching this sign _______________.
  1. A Watch only for children entering the roadway
  2. B Enter the intersection quickly before traffic arrives
  3. C Give way to conflicting traffic and stop when necessary
  4. D Expect conflicting traffic to give way to you

Correct answer: C – Give way to conflicting traffic and stop when necessary

A YIELD sign requires you to reduce speed and avoid interfering with conflicting traffic. You may proceed without stopping when the way is clear, but you must stop when necessary for safety. New Hampshire law also specifies the proper stopping location when conditions require a stop at a yield-controlled approach.
