Sample Utah CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

What does a round yellow sign marked with a black X and the letters “RR” warn you about?

These signs alert the driver _____________.
  1. A A school zone ahead
  2. B Debris or another roadway hazard
  3. C A four-way stop ahead
  4. D A railroad-highway crossing ahead

Correct answer: D – A railroad-highway crossing ahead

The Utah Commercial Driver License Handbook identifies this as an advance warning sign for a public railroad-highway crossing. It tells drivers to reduce speed, look and listen for a train, and be ready to stop at the tracks if a train is approaching. It is not a stop-intersection sign.

Question 2

Some over-the-counter cold medicines can cause drowsiness that affects safe driving.

  1. A True
  2. B False

Correct answer: A – True

Prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including some cold medicines, may cause drowsiness or otherwise impair safe driving. Drivers should follow warning labels and their doctor’s instructions about possible effects. A commercial vehicle should not be operated after taking a substance that makes the driver unsafe.

Question 3

A yellow diamond sign showing two arrows separating around an obstruction means:

This sign indicates that _____________.
  1. A Traffic must turn left at the next intersection
  2. B Traffic must turn right at the next intersection
  3. C Traffic may pass on either side of an island or obstruction
  4. D All turning movements are prohibited

Correct answer: C – Traffic may pass on either side of an island or obstruction

On Utah roads, the Double Arrow sign advises that traffic is permitted to travel on either side of an island, obstruction, or gore. It warns about the roadway feature rather than requiring a turn at an intersection. Traffic divided by the feature may later rejoin or continue in different directions.

Question 4

Which driving behavior causes most serious vehicle skids?

  1. A Traveling too fast for existing road conditions
  2. B Driving with brakes that are slightly out of adjustment
  3. C Carrying extra weight on the steering axle
  4. D Using properly inflated tires with worn tread

Correct answer: A – Traveling too fast for existing road conditions

Most serious skids result from driving too fast for road conditions. Excess speed can force a driver to brake, steer, or accelerate beyond the available tire traction. Adjusting speed to weather, visibility, curves, and pavement conditions reduces the need for these abrupt actions.

Question 5

What should you do if a hazardous-materials package offered for transportation is leaking?

  1. A Accept it only with the carrier’s authorization
  2. B Load it carefully and keep it separated
  3. C Transport it only on local streets
  4. D Refuse the leaking package

Correct answer: D – Refuse the leaking package

The Utah handbook directs hazardous-materials drivers to refuse leaking packages and shipments. Federal hazardous-materials regulations prohibit accepting or transporting a hazardous material that has not been prepared according to applicable requirements. The leaking package must not be accepted as an ordinary shipment for highway transportation.

Question 6

A yellow diamond sign shows the roadway curving left, with an advisory speed plaque below it. What does it warn you to do?

This sign warns drivers to ____________.
  1. A Prepare for a curve to the right
  2. B Reduce speed for a curve to the left
  3. C Accelerate before making a left turn
  4. D Prepare for a sharp right turn

Correct answer: B – Reduce speed for a curve to the left

The symbol’s direction identifies a curve to the left. An advisory speed plaque displays the recommended speed for traveling through the condition shown on the warning sign. The driver should reduce speed before entering the curve rather than braking abruptly while in it.
