Brett Or Other Moderators - Just A Question Regarding The High Road Training Module
Topic 16882 | Page 2
Ok regarding this one:
This question also has an incorrect answer (I assume a typo):
When a driver sees a roadway hazard, how long will it take for the drivers brain to process the situation (perception time)? 1/8 second 1/2 second 1 second 1-3/4 second
The answer as far as I can tell should be 3/4 second. The training is saying the answer should be 1-3/4.
Here's the manual on this one:
Quote From The CDL Manual:
The perception time for an alert driver is about 3/4 second. At 55 mph, you travel 60 feet in 3/4 second.
Our content on the page and the answer are both correct. The correct answer is 1 3/4 second. We forgot to update the quote from the manual for that question though so it was still showing the old version. I just updated it now. Sorry about the confusion!
So now it says:
The average perception time for an alert driver is 1¾ seconds. At 55 mph this accounts for 142 feet traveled.

Okay, I'll take the heat for the first one since I didn't read carefully enough! I'm sorry about that. I 
And thank you for correcting the other. I appreciate it.
I really do want to do well and this is an AMAZING TOOL. I can't imagine trying to learn this without it!!
Thank you!!

The state exams often times love to mix up the wording or try to throw people off with answers that are real close but off by a word or two. You really have to read every question and answer closely or you're definitely going to miss a few.
Also, we purposely made the questions and answers tough enough that you really have to read each word of each question and answer carefully. It helps you focus harder which helps you retain the information for much longer.
Keep plugging away at that High Road. When you go to take the exams you're going to be thrilled with how easily you'll fly right through em. We regularly have people report that they'll go in and knock out all of the CDL permit exams and all of the endorsement exams in 45 minutes to an hour. They walk out of there with their permit and their endorsements all in one shot.

The counter lady at the DMV was shocked when I passed all my required exams plus hazmat and tanker endorsements in under 40 minutes. I always recommend THR and TT to anyone I hear talk about starting a truck driving career.

Oh well, now that's embarrassing.
Thank you Rick!
Don't worry Penny I did that too, I have more than one question posted on here, only to find out I skipped a word in reading it. BUT that is a mistake hopefully you wouldn't make when taking the permit test. I used the high road trainer and the cdl practice tests and passed my permit test today in no time. The tools here really do work.
