Sample Utah CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

A red rectangular sign reading “WRONG WAY” means:

This sign warns drivers that _________________.
  1. A An expressway begins ahead
  2. B A congested area is ahead
  3. C You are entering or traveling in a prohibited direction
  4. D You may continue after reducing speed

Correct answer: C – You are entering or traveling in a prohibited direction

A WRONG WAY sign warns that a road user is entering or traveling in the prohibited direction on a roadway or ramp. It is commonly used with DO NOT ENTER signs as part of wrong-way traffic control. It does not merely advise drivers to proceed cautiously.

Question 2

A heavily loaded CMV is taking an off-ramp that curves downhill. What should the driver do?

  1. A Maintain highway speed because the ramp speed is intended for every vehicle
  2. B Reduce to a safe speed before reaching the curved section
  3. C Accelerate before entering the curve
  4. D Wait until inside the curve to brake and downshift

Correct answer: B – Reduce to a safe speed before reaching the curved section

The Utah handbook instructs CMV drivers to slow sufficiently before reaching the curved part of a ramp. A downhill grade makes reducing speed more difficult, while braking and turning together can be dangerous. The posted ramp speed may not be safe for a large or heavily loaded vehicle.

Question 3

What does the abbreviation “GVW” stand for?

  1. A Government vehicle weight
  2. B Gross variable weight
  3. C General vehicle width
  4. D Gross vehicle weight

Correct answer: D – Gross vehicle weight

GVW stands for gross vehicle weight. It should not be confused with GVWR, which stands for gross vehicle weight rating and refers to the manufacturer’s specified loaded-weight rating for a single vehicle.

Question 4

Which practice helps keep your speed safe when driving at night?

  1. A Use high beams continuously
  2. B Look directly at approaching headlights
  3. C Drive slowly enough to stop within the range of your headlights
  4. D Keep the instrument-panel lights at maximum brightness

Correct answer: C – Drive slowly enough to stop within the range of your headlights

At night, adjust your speed so that your stopping distance remains within your headlight sight distance. Otherwise, a hazard may become visible too late to stop. Avoid staring at oncoming headlights, and dim the instrument lights enough to reduce glare while keeping the gauges readable.

Question 5

When scanning ahead, which two broad categories should a commercial driver watch?

  1. A Traffic and roadway conditions
  2. B Vehicle colors and traffic-signal shapes
  3. C Only disabled vehicles and debris
  4. D Only curves and potholes

Correct answer: A – Traffic and roadway conditions

A driver should scan ahead for traffic and roadway conditions rather than focusing on only one type of hazard. Watch for vehicles entering, turning, changing lanes, or braking. Looking far enough ahead gives you more time to adjust your speed or lane position safely.

Question 6

In the handbook’s basic example, what is the minimum total stopping distance at 55 mph under ideal conditions?

  1. A 216 feet
  2. B 320 feet
  3. C 419 feet
  4. D 550 feet

Correct answer: C – 419 feet

The Utah handbook’s example uses 142 feet of perception distance, 61 feet of reaction distance, and about 216 feet of braking distance. Together, these equal a minimum of 419 feet at 55 mph under ideal conditions. An air-braked vehicle also has brake-lag distance, increasing its total stopping distance.
