CDL Practice Question #277

Category: Hazmat

Mixing certain hazmat in one shipment is prohibited because:

Of cost
They may react dangerously together; the segregation table specifies prohibitions
It is too heavy
Of regulations on cargo color

Correct. Some classes react dangerously when mixed (e.g., acids with cyanides, oxidizers with flammables). The segregation table prohibits these mixtures.

Why this question matters

This question is one of 68 in our Hazmat bank. The reasoning above comes directly from the AAMVA CDL Manual, the source document used by every U.S. state DMV. Memorizing the underlying rule — not just the letter answer — is what separates passing on the first attempt from a return trip and another fee.
