the perfect high-yield resource to guarantee a passing score of 75% or
higher on your first attempt.
Question 1
What is the minimum legal tread depth required for the major grooves on
the front steering tires of a Class F vehicle in Georgia?
A) 1/32 inch
B) 2/32 inch
,C) 4/32 inch
D) 6/32 inch
CORRECT ANSWER: C) 4/32 inch
EXPLANATION: Georgia DDS and federal safety standards mandate a
minimum tread depth of 4/32 inch on front steering tires to
maintain control and prevent hydroplaning. All other tires require at
least 2/32 inch.
Question 2
What is the minimum legal tread depth required for the major grooves on
all tires other than the front steering tires?
A) 1/32 inch
B) 2/32 inch
C) 4/32 inch
D) 6/32 inch
CORRECT ANSWER: B) 2/32 inch
EXPLANATION: Non-steering tires (drive axles and trailing axles)
must have at least 2/32 inch of tread depth to be legally operated
on Georgia highways.
Question 3
When traveling at a speed of 55 mph under excellent conditions,
approximately how many seconds does it take for a heavy vehicle to come
to a complete stop?
A) 2 seconds
,B) 4 seconds
C) 6 seconds
D) 10 seconds
CORRECT ANSWER: C) 6 seconds
EXPLANATION: At 55 mph, a heavy vehicle covers significant
distance. Accounting for perception time, reaction time, and heavy
brake lag, it takes approximately 6 seconds to stop completely.
Question 4
What are the maximum acceptable limits for steering wheel play on a
standard 20-inch steering wheel before the vehicle is considered unsafe?
A) 5 degrees or 1 inch
B) 10 degrees or 2 inches
C) 15 degrees or 3 inches
D) 20 degrees or 4 inches
CORRECT ANSWER: B) 10 degrees or 2 inches
EXPLANATION: Steering wheel play must not exceed 10 degrees,
which equals roughly 2 inches of free movement on a standard 20-
inch steering wheel, otherwise steering control is dangerously
compromised.
Question 5
Which formula accurately describes the components used to calculate
total stopping distance for a heavy vehicle equipped with air brakes?
A) Reaction time + Braking distance
, B) Perception time + Braking distance
C) Perception time + Reaction time + Braking distance
D) Perception time + Reaction time + Brake lag distance + Braking
distance
CORRECT ANSWER: D) Perception time + Reaction time + Brake lag
distance + Braking distance
EXPLANATION: Total stopping distance includes how far you travel
while recognizing the hazard (perception), moving your foot to the
pedal (reaction), waiting for air to pressure the lines (brake lag),
and the actual physical braking mechanism slowing the tires.
Question 6
What is the maximum allowable slack or play when checking any of the
primary engine belts during a pre-trip inspection?
A) 1/4 inch
B) 1/2 inch
C) 3/4 inch
D) 1 inch
CORRECT ANSWER: C) 3/4 inch
EXPLANATION: Engine belts (such as the alternator or water pump
belts) must be snug. Play or deflection when pressed in the middle
must not exceed 3/4 of an inch.
