Although I realize we aren't subject to the regulations that commercial vehicles are I sutumbled on this CDL brake system test and thought it might be of interest to some.

I thought the same thing but never heard of some of those questions. I think Gil is trying to make us look bad. He probably aced it!

I did it in 5 minutes,. Guessed at 5 and missed 5. Bad guesser, or just plain dumb!??

Got only 4 correct in five minutes. So much for common sense guessing. From other scores posted here, could there be something missing with the POG gene pool?

Maybe its just that we're honest.

AND if U go back and retest U will get slightly different questions in slightly different order. That's got DMV written all over it. If U want to really help folks by teaching them correct info with a test then loose the vague questions with all bad or equal choices. I was surprised about the 3 psi loss per minute question. That's not the standard I was familure with. Can U imagine heading down the continental divide with a bus that's loosing 3 psi per min? Even if U did not even touch the brakes your compressor would run every 6 minutes. Isint that crazy?? Next time U R doing a tango with a big truck this is the safety standers they R held to. And the question about the single air system IMO is useless info did U guess I got that one wrong. If I were the teacher I would not want the pupils going away after the test more confused than before they took it.. Sheeeesh. Good grief Charley brown. I think we should do a BUS RODEO at a rally big money to enter real tough course. We could do it all for charity.............and bragging rights I gotta get another bus
