About the West Virginia CDL lights and signals test
Lights and signals close out most pre-trip sequences, and this test checks headlights, turn signals, brake lights, hazard lights, and reflective tape, since a burned-out bulb is an easy way to fail an inspection that was otherwise flawless.
West Virginia CDL applicants are expected to know which lights need a second person to verify from outside the cab and which can be checked solo, plus what proper function actually looks like for each one. This section is short but unforgiving on detail.
This section's length is set by West Virginia, so the CDL Manual is where you will find the number that actually applies to you. Keep drilling this section until you can explain the answers, not just recognize them.
Every question traces back to the West Virginia CDL Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
