I'm posting out of frustration with the Texas Class B drivers license process. I've just returned from failing the written test the second time. The questions I missed were not part of any practice test I took and have no relevancy to operating a motor home. I did not know what year manufacturers were required to have turn signals on their cars. I also didn't know what lighting was required to be put on farm tractors in 1972. There were many others that were obscure and relevant to some degree to a CDL but not for a motor home. Ask me about air brakes or driving regulations. I know about the regulations regarding disabled vehicles and placing markers. I don't know the requirements for loading sand, gravel or other items that might fly off a trailer, I don't haul those in the motor home.
I'll try for the third time next week and hope for the best. If I don't pass I may end up taking my chances and driving the motor home without the Class B. After over 100,000 miles driving a diesel pusher I feel pretty comfortable that I know what to do.
