  1. A CDT instructor discovers a student driver has a previously undisclosed medical condition that may affect driving ability. What is the instructor's primary obligation?

    Answer: Report the condition to the appropriate licensing authority and suspend training if safety is at risk

    CDT instructors have a professional and ethical duty to report safety-relevant medical conditions to licensing authorities and halt training if there is an immediate risk.

  2. Which behavior best demonstrates professional boundaries for a CDT instructor working with an adult student?

    Answer: Maintaining documented, objective records of all training sessions

    Maintaining objective, documented records upholds professional standards and protects both the instructor and student.

  3. A CDT trainer is approached by a student who offers a cash payment to pass them on the skills test they clearly failed. The correct response is to:

    Answer: Decline, score the test accurately, and document the incident

    Accepting payment to falsify test results constitutes fraud and violates CDT ethical standards and applicable state law.

  4. What is the purpose of maintaining a conflict-of-interest policy in a driver training program?

    Answer: To ensure instructor decisions are based on student merit and safety rather than personal gain

    Conflict-of-interest policies protect the integrity of training programs by keeping instructor actions aligned with student safety and objective standards.

  5. Under CDT professional standards, how should an instructor handle a student who displays aggressive or threatening behavior during a lesson?

    Answer: Safely end the session, document the incident, and report it per program policy

    Safety requires ending the session immediately, and proper documentation and reporting protect the instructor, program, and future students.

  6. Which statement best describes a CDT instructor's responsibility regarding student confidentiality?

    Answer: Student information must be protected and only disclosed as required by law or with student consent

    CDT instructors must protect student privacy in all forms, disclosing information only when legally required or with the student's informed consent.
