South Dakota Department of Public Safety

Thank you for keeping us citizens of South Dakota safe! Keep up the great work!

If I could leave a -5 star rating I would. The basic knowledge cdl test questions and answers are absolutely the most asinine things I’ve ever experienced. The responses to the questions are often times not the same as in the manual book they provide and sometimes there are two responses that would be correct for the same question. I’ve spent $33 so far and will probably have to pay more because I can not seem to pass these tests despite studying for hours. I hope you’re happy that I am spending hours of hard earned money on your tests that are horribly assembled even though they are required to obtain a license. Even though half of the people who have a cdl in your state can’t even read and don’t obey the regulations and expectations anyway. Whoever put this test together needs to wear a special needs helmet and be medicated. Thank you for your time and I hope this seminar is able to be related to by other people. I hate whoever is responsible for these tests. Respectfully.

I have a complaint in regard to a citation issued by Officer Ryan Lantz, or maybe more so the equipment in his car (radar detector). His detector read 2 miles faster (86) than my car speedometer (84) on cruise control. I have checked my speedometer with 5-6 portable meters on roads and shows my actual speed going even slower, at various speeds. He did drop it to 85 for lower fee (I guess that was supposed to make me feel better :/). Granted I was over the limit, so I had no arguement, but would be nice if there equipment was accurate!!

Why work in a place that is supposed to help people if you’re just going to have a bad attitude. literally crazy how i ask a question and just get a mouthful of attitude back. maybe find a new career 😂
