Question:

You are driving at 35 mph in a 40-foot vehicle. The visibility is good and the road is dry. What is the minimum spacing in front of your vehicle that you should maintain for safety?

A 4 seconds.
explanation

How much space should you keep in front of you? One good rule says you need at least 1 second for each 10 feet of vehicle length at speeds below 40 mph. At greater speeds, you must add 1 second for safety. For example, if you are driving a 40-foot vehicle, you should leave 4 seconds between you and the vehicle ahead.

I read the book once a long time ago and not much stuck with me. I was looking through apps and had used another one that only had the GENERAL SKILLS questions. I love this app because it has questions for the different CDL classes. After about a week of using the app to review and take the sample tests I went to the DMV and passed all tests within the first try. There were only one or two questions on the actual test that weren’t on the app but the questions are very similar if not the same. RECOMMEND THIS APP FOR ANYONE STUDYING/ PRACTICING FOR A CDL PERMIT
