Today eGears wants to give you an inside look at a sample CDL permit exam question.  This particular question comes from the General Knowledge portion of the exam.  It touches on the topic of changing lanes and checking mirrors.

Let’s test your CDL knowledge to see if you know the answer:

While it may seem like a pretty simple subject, answering questions on the CDL exam isn’t always as easy.  You need to remember look closely at the wording of the question and it never hurts to read the answers in your head to help determine if it really makes sense.

One of the sections included in the eGears CDL Permit Exam Course is just for practice.  It’s designed to help you learn the information and not just questions or answers.  In this section, you’d get a supporting paragraph that goes along with the actual CDL manual.  For this question, the additional information would be:

“When making a lane change, check your mirror 4 times: once before you change, once after you have signaled, once right after you start the lane change, and another after you complete the lane change .Check mirrors quickly, looking back and forth between mirrors and the road ahead. Remember, even with frequent mirror checks, there are blind spots that no mirror can show you. Stay aware of your surroundings and where other traffic has moved. “

Now you’ve got some information that can help you select the best answer to the practice CDL exam question above.  We’ve found that working through the CDL manual in small sections like this (each with a practice question and answer) is an effective way to learn.

With each answer you select, you’ll receive some instant feedback indicating if you’re right or wrong.  You will also get additional details based upon information from the actual CDL manual to support the correct and incorrect answers.  Take a look below are the instant practice exam feedback:
