If you are being tailgated, you should do all of the following EXCEPT
avoid tricks such as flashing your brake lights.
avoid quick changes.
increase your following distance.
speed up.
Let the tailgater pass you.
Don't try to speed up to outdistance or appease a tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters. Instead, increase your following distance and if possible, keep right to let the tailgater pass.
To improve visibility during severe or stormy weather, __________ must be secure, undamaged, and operating smoothly and correctly.
the lighting indicators
the handholds and steps
the windshield wipers and washer
the emergency equipment
Keep the rain and snow off your windshield.
Check that the windshield wiper blades are in good condition and press hard enough against the windshield to keep it clean without excessive streaking. Also make sure that the windshield washer mechanism works and there is enough windshield washer fluid in the reservoir.
To make an emergency stop with the "stab braking" method, you should
depress the brake pedal as hard as you can, release the brakes when the wheels lock, and apply the brakes again when the wheels start to roll.
pump the brake pedal rapidly and lightly.
brake hard until the wheels lock and then release the brakes for as long as the wheels have been locked.
Ease off once the wheels lock, and then go again.
To stop with stab braking, brake hard, release the brakes once the wheels lock, and then brake hard once the wheels start to roll again. (Clearly, this method won't work if your vehicle has antilock brakes, because the wheels won't lock. Use controlled braking instead.)

"These tests are worth their weight in gold!"

“I halfway skimmed over the chapters in the book. Passed on the first try. Made sure to pass all of the available tests on the site, did the marathons once each and then did the practice exams many times over. 95% of the questions on the practice exams were on the real test, just some were worded awkwardly.”

"Seriously the best money I've spent in a very long time."

“The marathon testing, the questions and feedback are really excellent. If you are on the fence about spending money for the premium service, seriously, do it. You will not be disappointed. It is worth every penny.”

"So worth the money!"

“This program is an excellent study tool. I just wrote my CDL exams today. 100% across the board. Honestly, there's a reason Driving-tests.org puts the guarantee out there...if you follow the program and put the time into the practice tests to the point where you're flying through every one with a high level of confidence, you are ready to write and guaranteed to pass!”

"Finished before the four people ahead of me."

"The way to study. Period."

“Very helpful. Beyond fair. The way to study. Period. I would've given it 5 stars but I disagree with cost. However, I don't regret the purchase. I'm getting my license after 16 years and a different state. Love it.”

Dean
Texas

"This saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars."

“After going through all the recommended steps, I felt very prepared. I took my general knowledge, air brakes, combination, tanker, hazmat, and doubles/triples exams all on the same trip to the DMV. Scored 145 out of 150 questions. The woman at the counter was floored. She honestly said she's never seen someone come in and take all six at the same time, let alone pass them all. Highly recommended! For what it's worth, the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I thought having some videos would have been extremely helpful.”

Philip Zaroo
CDL Premium customer

"99% of the review questions were identical to what is on the DMV tests."

“I read the commercial handbook and thought "No way in the world will I remember this." Purchased Premium to get Class B (school bus permit for California). The explanations provided for every answer are so useful, especially for anyone new to this. They explained so much and helped put things together. Questions are grouped in a way that makes it easier to remember and the Marathons help so much to test your memory. You'll also find the endorsements you need to practice for. Didn't just pass, but nearly aced all tests. ”

Brandon F.
California

"I just left the DMV."

“I completely aced all 3 of my tests. I just want to say that this was an absolutely amazing experience. The study guides and tests are extremely easy to use. The questions are essentially exactly what the DMV uses. This gave me confidence and direct knowledge straight from the DMV testing. I will suggest this to any one that is worried about testing! Fantastic job!!!”

Joshua Myers
CDL Premium customer

"Just passed, and I am over the moon about it!"

“Just passed my last exam for my CDL School bus endorsements, and I am over the moon about it! This study guide is awesome! If you take all the practice test they give you plus the marathon practice test you will definitely pass. Keep in mind though to still read your state’s drivers manual at first.”

Quite frankly, because it works. You’ll acquire the skills that 1000’s of drivers on the road have used to get their CDLs and increase their earning potential as truckers. Our program is designed to get you fully ELDT-certified and will guarantee that you'll pass all your knolwedge exams on the first try. Our pass rate speaks for itself. We strongly believe (and have data to prove) that the program is one of the highest-ROI investments an aspiring commercial driver can make. Many applicants turn to local driving schools for $3,000+ per course and never see those kinds of results. And that’s why we stand by our claim that this program is one of the best investments a future commercial driver can make.
Is it available in other languages?
Yes. Our practice tests are available in both English and Spanish. The ELDT theory guides and Cheat Sheets are English-only.
