- Question 1 of 27
1. Question
What should you do before making a U-turn?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you have to make a U-turn, slow down and ensure that the road is clear in both directions. Make sure that the road is wide enough for you to carry out the manoeuvre safely. Use your mirrors and look round to check it’s safe before turning across the road.
- Question 2 of 27
2. Question
What should you do as you approach this bridge?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should slow down and be cautious. Hump bridges are often narrow and there may not be enough room for you to pass an oncoming vehicle at this point. Also, there’s no footpath, so be aware of pedestrians in the road.
- Question 3 of 27
3. Question
Where should you avoid overtaking?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Oncoming vehicles or other hazards can be hidden from view by dips in the road. If you can’t see into the dip, wait until you have a clear view and can see that it’s safe before starting to overtake.
- Question 4 of 27
4. Question
What does this curved arrow road marking mean?
CorrectIncorrectHint
In this picture, the road marking shows that overtaking drivers or riders need to return to the left. These markings show the direction drivers must pass hatch markings or solid double white lines. They’re also used to show the route that high vehicles should take under a low arched bridge.
- Question 5 of 27
5. Question
What should you do if your mobile phone rings while you’re driving or riding?
CorrectIncorrectHint
It’s illegal to use a hand-held mobile or similar device when driving or riding, except in a genuine emergency. The safest option is to switch off your mobile phone before you set off, and use a message service. If you’ve forgotten to switch your phone off and it rings, you should leave it. When you’ve stopped in a safe place, you can see who called and return the call if necessary.
- Question 6 of 27
6. Question
Why are these yellow lines painted across the road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Before slowing down or stopping, check the mirrors to see what’s happening behind you. Also assess what’s ahead and make sure you give the correct signal if it will help other road users.
- Question 7 of 27
7. Question
What should you do when you’re approaching traffic lights that have been green for some time?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The longer traffic lights have been green, the sooner they’ll change. Allow for this as you approach traffic lights that you know have been green for a while. They’re likely to change soon, so you should be prepared to stop.
- Question 8 of 27
8. Question
What should you do before slowing down or stopping your vehicle?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Before slowing down or stopping, check the mirrors to see what’s happening behind you. Also assess what’s ahead and make sure you give the correct signal if it will help other road users.
- Question 9 of 27
9. Question
You’re following a large vehicle. Why should you stay a safe distance behind it?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re following a large vehicle but are so close to it that you can’t see its exterior mirrors, the driver won’t be able to see you. Keeping well back will also allow you to see the road ahead by looking past the large vehicle.
- Question 10 of 27
10. Question
Why should you use your mirrors when you see a hazard ahead?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should be constantly scanning the road for clues about what’s going to happen next. Check your mirrors regularly, particularly as soon as you spot a hazard. What’s happening behind may affect how you respond to hazards ahead.
- Question 11 of 27
11. Question
You’re waiting to turn right at the end of a road. What should you do if your view is obstructed by parked vehicles?
CorrectIncorrectHint
At junctions, your view is often restricted by buildings, trees or parked cars. You need to be able to see in order to judge a safe gap. Edge forward slowly and keep looking all the time. Don’t cause other road users to change speed or direction as you emerge.
- Question 12 of 27
12. Question
There are objects hanging from your interior mirror. Why could this be a hazard?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Ensure that you can see clearly through the windscreen of your vehicle. Stickers or hanging objects could obstruct your view or draw your attention away from the road.
- Question 13 of 27
13. Question
You’re on a long motorway journey. What should you do if you start to feel sleepy?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you feel sleepy, you should leave the motorway at a service area or at the next exit and stop in a safe place to rest. A supply of fresh air can help to keep you alert before you reach the exit, but it isn’t a substitute for stopping and resting.
- Question 14 of 27
14. Question
Why should you switch your headlights on when it first starts to get dark?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Your headlights and tail lights help others on the road to see you. It may be necessary to turn on your headlights during the day if visibility is reduced; for example, due to heavy rain. In these conditions, the light might fade before the street lights are timed to switch on. Be seen to be safe.
- Question 15 of 27
15. Question
What’s most likely to distract you while you’re driving?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Except for emergencies, it’s illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while you’re driving. Even using a hands- free kit can severely distract your attention.
- Question 16 of 27
16. Question
You’re driving your car. When may you use a hand-held mobile phone?
CorrectIncorrectHint
It’s illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while you’re driving, except in a genuine emergency. Even using a hands-free kit can distract your attention. Park in a safe and convenient place before receiving or making a call or using text messaging. Then you’ll also be free to take notes or refer to papers.
- Question 17 of 27
17. Question
You’re driving on a wet road. What should you do if you have to stop your vehicle in an emergency?
CorrectIncorrectHint
As you drive, look well ahead and all-around so that you’re ready for any hazards that might develop. If you have to stop in an emergency, react as soon as you can while keeping control of the vehicle. Keep both hands on the steering wheel so you can control the vehicle’s direction of travel.
- Question 18 of 27
18. Question
What should you do when you move off from behind a parked car?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Before moving off, you should use both the interior and exterior mirrors to check that the road is clear. Look around to check the blind spots and, if necessary, give a signal to warn other road users of your intentions. Also, look well ahead as you’ll have to steer out into the road to pass the parked car.
- Question 19 of 27
19. Question
You’re travelling along this road. How should you pass the cyclist?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Allow the cyclist plenty of room in case they wobble or swerve around a pothole or raised drain. Look well ahead before you start to overtake, because you’ll need to cross the hazard line. Look for entrances where vehicles could be waiting to pull out.
- Question 20 of 27
20. Question
When do windscreen pillars cause a serious obstruction to your view?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Windscreen pillars can obstruct your view, particularly at bends and junctions. Look out for other road users – especially cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians who can easily be overlooked.
- Question 21 of 27
21. Question
What should you do if you can’t see clearly behind when you’re reversing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you want to turn your car around, try to find a place where you have good all-round vision. If this isn’t possible, and you’re unable to see clearly, then get someone to guide you.
- Question 22 of 27
22. Question
What does the term ‘blind spot’ mean?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Modern vehicles provide the driver with a good view of both the road ahead and behind using well-positioned mirrors. However, the mirrors can’t see every angle of the scene behind and to the sides of the vehicle. It’s essential that you know when and how to check the vehicle’s blind spots so that you’re aware of any hidden hazards.
- Question 23 of 27
23. Question
What’s likely to happen if you use a hands-free phone while you’re driving?
CorrectIncorrect - Question 24 of 27
24. Question
You’re turning right onto a dual carriageway. What should you do before emerging?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Before emerging right onto a dual carriageway, make sure that the central reservation is deep enough to protect your vehicle. If it isn’t, you should treat the dual carriageway as one road and check that it’s clear in both directions before pulling out. Neglecting to do this could place part or all of your vehicle in the path of approaching traffic and cause a collision.
- Question 25 of 27
25. Question
You’re waiting to emerge from a junction. The windscreen pillar is restricting your view. What should you be particularly aware of?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Windscreen pillars can completely block your view of pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists. You should make a particular effort to look for these road users; don’t just rely on a quick glance.
- Question 26 of 27
26. Question
How can you make sure that a satellite navigation (satnav) system doesn’t distract you when you’re driving?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Satnavs can be useful when driving on unfamiliar routes. However, they can also distract you and cause you to lose control if you look at or adjust them while you’re driving. Set the satnav before starting your journey, or pull up in a safe place before making any changes to it.
- Question 27 of 27
27. Question
You’re travelling along a single-track road. There’s a passing place on your right. What should you do if you see a vehicle coming towards you?
CorrectIncorrectHint
When you meet oncoming vehicles on a single-track road, you should allow them to pass. You should pull into a passing place on your left or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Do not move onto the verge as there may be hidden hazards.
