1. The space under a heavily loaded vehicle can be very small. This can cause problems:

on dirt roads.
when crossing railroad tracks.
All of the above.

2. Some air brake systems have an alcohol evaporator. Checking the alcohol container and filling it up as necessary:

reduces the risk of ice in air brake valves during cold weather.
helps keep the engine cool, as well as lubricating it.
helps you avoid wheel lock up.

3. If the drive wheels begin to spin when accelerating, you should:

continue to accelerate.
brake gently.
take your foot off the accelerator.

4. An alcohol evaporator:

is used to reduce the risk of ice in air brake valves and other parts during cold weather.
protects the air brake system from too much pressure.
used to reduce the chance of the front wheels skidding.

you'll need to take another knowledge test about air brakes.
you'll have to immediately retake your test using another vehicle.
you will be restricted to driving vehicles without air brakes.

6. Why must air tanks be drained?

Water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
Water and oil reduce the air pressure.
To keep from fouling the air compressor oil.

7. ABS:

allows you to brake harder.
should only be used on dry roads.
is an addition to your normal brakes.

8. During a trip you should check:
