Arkansas Commercial Driver License (CDL) Practice Test

What should you check in winter conditions?

1. Tire chains, brake fluid, seat belts

2. Coolant level, defrosting and heating equipment, tires

3. Engine oil, headlights, battery

4. Windshield washer, transmission fluid, spare tire

The correct answer is: Tire chains, brake fluid, seat belts

In winter conditions, it is important to check tire chains to ensure your vehicle has proper traction on slippery roads. Checking brake fluid is also necessary to ensure your brakes are working efficiently on icy roads. While coolant level and defrosting and heating equipment are important, they do not directly relate to driving safely in winter weather. Engine oil and headlights can also be important to check, however, they do not directly impact your vehicle's performance in winter conditions. Similarly, windshield washer fluid and transmission fluid are important to maintain, but not crucial in winter driving. Checking your spare tire is always important, but it is not specific to winter conditions like the other options. Therefore, A is the most accurate answer as it specifically addresses important components for safe driving in winter weather.
