I'm Unsure About This Question.

Never mind. I feel stupid now. I missed "except" I would delete the post if I could.
The operative word in the question is "except". Too much tread will not cause a skid. Not enough tread on the other hand, if the roads are wet could possibly cause a skid.

Sorry, answered before I saw your retraction. What happened to you is intentional and you are not alone. When you take your permit exam, questions will be worded like that. You caught yourself...that's a good thing.
Watch the wording VERY carefully on the questions on your Permit tests. They will throw some of those at you. That us why Brett has included them in his Training Program. I think they trip everyone up. I remember feeling the same way as I was working my way through the HR. I took lots of practice tests on various websites prior to taking the State exam. You will find those types of questions on all of them. Don't worry about it. If you keep at it, the people at your local DMV will be in awe of your ability to breeze through all of the Tests and Endorsements in record time. The Lady at my local DMV in Arizona couldn't believe how fast I finished, with 100% to boot!

There is another point to this that perhaps is escaping us. If you miss or miss-read one word on shipping papers, a BOL or anything like that, it could be a huge problem. Think about reefer temps, delivery instructions, road signs, shipper/receiver signage, etc. Read and re-read everything. Leave nothing to chance and make no assumptions.
It's just setting the standard and creating the mind-set for what is yet to come...

Hey Lyght Like G-Town stated ur not alone. This happens a lot. when I went to take my CDL permit test I used the headphones when taking the test so I can have the questions read to me. Then I would read the question to myself after hearing it. Take your time no need to rush. There are definitely plenty of questions worded in strange ways that make u think again and again. Worst case scenario u can skip the question and leave it til the end when it comes back around at the end. Good luck with your test.

I have noticed most of the time when I get an answer wrong, when I go back to check it that I just didn't read the question fully. Trying to rush to much though it so I'm going to take your guys advice (thanks by the way) and slow down a bit.

You have just learned one of the most important lessons with this profession. Do not rush...just don't do it for any reason.
Try to carry this with you through the progression of school, training and the rookie learning curve.
Good luck...

Sorry the subject isn't the best. Anyway I'm working my way through the cdl training program on this site and one of the questions/answers confuse me, I'm hoping someone can explain it to me.
Q) The following are all causes of Front-Wheel Skids except: A) Driving too fast for conditions B) Cargo loaded so not enough weight is on the front axle C) Too much tread on the front tires D) All of these are reasons for front-wheel skids
A and B make sense to me, but C doesn't. So I'm not thinking the answer would be D. However, the page says that C is the correct answer.
But...
Quote From The CDL Manual:
"Front-Wheel Skids - Most front-wheel skids are caused by driving too fast for conditions. Other causes are lack of tread on the front tires, and cargo loaded so not enough weight is on the front axle. In a front-wheel skid, the front end tends to go in a straight line regardless of how much you turn the steering wheel. On a very slippery surface, you may not be able to steer around a curve or turn.
When a front-wheel skid occurs, the only way to stop the skid is to let the vehicle slow down. Stop turning and/or braking so hard. Slow down as quickly as possible without skidding."
In the quote it says lack of thread not to much thread. Is that a typo in the answer or am I just not understanding it right?
