Some lanes are set aside for certain types of vehicle. Signs and road markings show the authorised vehicles in words or pictures.

-
Question 21 of 34
21. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Some vehicles are fitted with an audible warning device that sounds when the vehicle is being reversed. As these devices make a loud noise, they shouldn’t be used between 11.30 pm and 7.00 am in a built-up area. Audible warning devices are an effective safety feature, but they don’t take away the need to use effective observation around the vehicle before and while reversing.
-
Question 22 of 34
22. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
The closer you are to the vehicle in front, the less you’ll be able to see of the road ahead. You must be aware at all times that you won’t be able to see all around your vehicle. This is why you must have an excellent mirror routine and constantly update yourself on what’s going on around you.
-
Question 23 of 34
23. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
When driving large vehicles, windscreen pillars and large mirrors can easily create blind spots as you look left and right at junctions.

-
Question 24 of 34
24. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Driving a large vehicle will sometimes require you to position your vehicle well to the left before making a tight right turn.

-
Question 25 of 34
25. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
When making a left turn with a long vehicle, you may have to adopt an unusual position, well over to the centre of the road.

Be alert for less experienced road users putting themselves in danger by coming up on your nearside.
-
Question 26 of 34

-
Question 27 of 34
27. Question

-
Question 28 of 34
28. Question

The reverse warning bleeper is fitted to your vehicle to warn others near the vehicle that it’s reversing. However, it’s no substitute for good all-round observation. Get someone to guide you if you can’t see clearly where you’re reversing.
-
