-
AStop
-
BPass slowly
-
CMove to another lane or slow down and proceed with caution

AStop until it is safe to proceed
-
BDon't do anything
-
CSpeed up
-
DSlow down and prepare to stop if traffic condiitons require it
Slow down and prepare to stop if traffic condiitons require it
Although it is not a stop sign, a yield sign means that someone else has the right of way, whether another lane of traffic or a pedestrian. As you approach the sign, you must slow down and prepare to stop. If there are no cars or pedestrians, then you can continue without stopping.

-
DTraffic on the other side of the road can pass
Pass if it is safe to do so

-
AYes
-
BIt depends on the state
-
CNo, because the air-braking systems are similar
-
DIt depends on the vehicle
No, because the air-braking systems are similar
The air-braking systems on combination vehicles are not that different from single vehicles. Therefore, if you already have a valid CDL for air-braking vehicles and choose to upgrade to group A, you do not have to test on a vehicle with air brakes.
Question 58
Do you need to wear eye protection?
-
ANot if you have a windshield or match other criteria
-
BAll can be true
-
CThere is no law against it

-
A5 times
-
BNo difference
-
