I've studied through CDP Prep, but they have only 3 questions in a simulated exam, and your channel is much better.

I want to give one example... in the CDL manual.. it says convex mirrors are meant for wide angle use... and also objects in the mirror appear to be farther away... when I took the permit test it had both answers.. convex mirrors are to see wide angle.. and convex mirrors objects appear farther than they are.. so I picked the wide answer ...and it was wrong.. it turned red.. that's extremely unfair because in the CD manual it says that they're meant for wide angle.. more examples like this on the CDL permit test

The only correct answer for question number 9 is a quarter mile because I live my life a quarter mile at a time, also family.

[@moviemaker2011z]

When I got my driver's license the dmv instructor told me I had to use my turn signals no less than 500ft away from my intended turn which was odd considering that the tests never specified the true distance required, her in missouri all it stated was that it needed to be with an appropriate amount of time for other drivers to see and adequately acknowledge which to me seems like 100ft or 150ft at least going at city speeds of 45mph. But then again if you think about it, 100ft is NOT that long a stretch especially if going highway speeds which again here in Missouri can be 65mph where I live or upwards of 70mph.

I just wanted to say the permit test is very difficult because I did not have a school bus passenger endorsement and it was asking me school bus questions?? Why??.. also the CD manual is really outdated... I can say a lot more but I doubt anyone is interested in what I have to say.. I thought it would be a piece of cake.. but it's not the CDL permit is very difficult

I’m going to take my general knowledge test today in NC. I already passed combinations and air brakes but I wasn’t fully confident in general knowledge. Are these the questions and answers word for word at DMV?

[@CDLDrivingAcademy]

Hi Maggie - when it comes to the DMV, they have THOUSANDS of questions they could possibly ask on your general knowledge test. Questions and answers are often used to get someone used to the feel of the test, and what to watch out for (some questions may be the same, but change the wording up). We always recommend making sure to study the material in the CDL manual. Thank you for watching!

Also, Mythbusters did a test on sobering up and they did find that coffee can in fact sober you up. It's not by any great amount but it's like a slightly noticeable amount that helps the brain begin basic function. However they proved without a doubt getting slapped in the face and ice water dunks sober you up faster than anything. Now is it preferred? No, but it's just a matter of fact that cannot be denied. Regardless if people believe in it or not it's best to never consume alcohol period if you are a truck driver, you are handling 80+ tons and really need to be in full control of your body and mind while driving. I'm sure for those that like the taste of beer will disagree, but sometimes a job requires you to quit a bad habit and stick to the straight and narrow.
