- Question 1 of 40
1. Question
What must you do when the amber light is flashing at a pelican crossing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Pelican crossings are signal-control crossings operated by pedestrians. Push-button controls change the signals. Pelican crossings have no red-and-amber stage before green; instead, they have a flashing amber light. This means you must give way to pedestrians who are on the crossing but if the crossing is clear you can continue.
- Question 2 of 40
2. Question
Why should you never wave people across at pedestrian crossings?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If people are waiting to use a pedestrian crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop. Don’t wave them across the road, because another driver may not have seen them, may not have seen your signal, and may not be able to stop safely.
- Question 3 of 40
3. Question
Why is it dangerous to drive too close to the vehicle ahead?
CorrectIncorrectHint
‘Tailgating’ is the term used when a driver or rider follows the vehicle in front too closely. It’s dangerous because it restricts your view of the road ahead and leaves no safety margin if the vehicle in front needs to slow down or stop suddenly. Tailgating is often the underlying cause of rear-end collisions or multiple pile- ups.
- Question 4 of 40
4. Question
What will happen if you follow this vehicle too closely?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Staying back will increase your view of the road ahead. This will help you to see any hazards that might occur and give you more time to react.
- Question 5 of 40
5. Question
What’s the minimum time gap you should leave when following a vehicle on a wet road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Water will reduce your tyres’ grip on the road. The safe separation gap of at least two seconds in dry conditions should be doubled, to at least four seconds, in wet weather.
- Question 6 of 40
6. Question
You’re being overtaken by a long, heavily laden lorry. What should you do if it’s taking a long time for it to overtake?
CorrectIncorrectHint
A long lorry with a heavy load will need more time to pass you than a car, especially on an uphill stretch of road. Slow down and allow the lorry to pass.
- Question 7 of 40
7. Question
Which vehicle will use a blue flashing beacon?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Emergency vehicles use blue flashing lights. If you see or hear one, move out of its way as soon as it’s safe and legal to do so.
- Question 8 of 40
8. Question
What should you do if you’re being followed by an ambulance showing flashing blue lights?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Pull over in a place where the ambulance can pass safely. Check that there are no bollards or obstructions in the road that will prevent it from passing.
- Question 9 of 40
9. Question
What type of emergency vehicle is fitted with a green flashing beacon?
CorrectIncorrectHint
A green flashing beacon on a vehicle means the driver or passenger is a doctor on an emergency call. Give way to them if it’s safe to do so. Be aware that the vehicle may be travelling quickly or may stop in a hurry.
- Question 10 of 40
10. Question
Who should obey diamond-shaped traffic signs?
CorrectIncorrectHint
These signs apply only to tram drivers, but you should know their meaning so that you’re aware of the priorities and are able to anticipate the actions of the driver.
- Question 11 of 40
11. Question
On a road where trams operate, which vehicles will be most at risk from the tram rails?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The narrow wheels of a bicycle can become stuck in the tram rails, causing the cyclist to stop suddenly, wobble or even lose balance altogether. The tramlines are also slippery, which could cause a cyclist to slide or fall off.
- Question 12 of 40
12. Question
When should you use your vehicle’s horn?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You mustn’t use your vehicle’s horn between 11.30 pm and 7 am in a built-up area or when you’re stationary, unless a moving vehicle poses a danger. Its function is to alert other road users to your presence.
- Question 13 of 40
13. Question
You’re in a one-way street and want to turn right. Where should you position your vehicle when there are two lanes?
CorrectIncorrectHint
When you’re in a one-way street and want to turn right, you should take up a position in the right-hand lane. This will allow other road users, not wishing to turn, to pass on the left. Indicate your intention and take up the correct position in good time.
- Question 14 of 40
14. Question
You wish to turn right ahead. Why should you take up the correct position in good time?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you wish to turn right into a side road, take up your position in good time. Move to the centre of the road when it’s safe to do so. This will allow vehicles to pass you on the left. Early planning will show other traffic what you intend to do.
- Question 15 of 40
15. Question
Which type of crossing allows cyclists to ride across while pedestrians are also crossing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
A toucan crossing is designed to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross at the same time. Look out for cyclists approaching the crossing at speed.
- Question 16 of 40
16. Question
You’re travelling at the legal speed limit. What should you do if the vehicle behind approaches quickly, flashing its headlights?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Don’t enforce the speed limit by blocking another vehicle’s progress. This will only cause frustration. Allow the other vehicle to pass when you can do so safely.
- Question 17 of 40
17. Question
When should you flash your headlights at other road users?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should only flash your headlights to warn others of your presence. Don’t use them to greet others, show impatience or give priority to other road users, because they could misunderstand your signal.
- Question 18 of 40
18. Question
You’re approaching an unmarked crossroads. How should you deal with the junction?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Be cautious, especially when your view is restricted by hedges, bushes, walls, large vehicles, etc. In the summer months, these junctions can become more difficult to deal with, because growing foliage may further obscure your view.
- Question 19 of 40
19. Question
The conditions are good and dry. When should you use the ‘two-second rule’?
CorrectIncorrectHint
In good conditions, the ‘two-second rule’ can be used to check the distance between your vehicle and the one in front. This technique works on roads carrying faster traffic. Choose a fixed object, such as a bridge, sign or tree. When the vehicle ahead passes this object, say to yourself ‘Only a fool breaks the two-second rule.’ If you reach the object before you finish saying this, you’re too close.
- Question 20 of 40
20. Question
Which colour follows the green signal at a puffin crossing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Puffin crossings have infra-red sensors that detect when pedestrians are crossing and hold the red traffic signal until the crossing is clear. The use of a sensor means there’s no flashing amber phase as there is with a pelican crossing.
- Question 21 of 40
21. Question
You’re in a line of traffic. What action should you take if the driver behind is following very closely?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If the driver behind is following too closely, there’s a danger they’ll collide with the back of your vehicle if you stop suddenly. You can reduce this risk by slowing down and increasing the safety margin in front of you. This reduces the chance that you’ll have to stop suddenly and allows you to spread your braking over a greater distance. This is an example of defensive driving.
- Question 22 of 40
22. Question
You’re driving on a clear night. Which lights should you use if the national speed limit applies and there’s a steady stream of oncoming traffic?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Use the full-beam headlights only when you can be sure that you won’t dazzle other road users.
- Question 23 of 40
23. Question
You’re driving behind a large goods vehicle. What should you do if it signals left but steers to the right?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Large, long vehicles need extra room when making turns at junctions. They may move out to the right in order to make a left turn. Keep well back and don’t attempt to pass them on their left.
- Question 24 of 40
24. Question
You’re driving along this road. What should you do if the red car cuts in close in front of you?
CorrectIncorrectHint
There are times when other drivers make incorrect or ill-judged decisions. Be tolerant and try not to retaliate or react aggressively. Always consider the safety of other road users, your passengers and yourself.
- Question 25 of 40
25. Question
You’re waiting in a traffic queue at night. How can you avoid dazzling drivers behind you?
CorrectIncorrectHint
In queuing traffic, your brake lights can dazzle drivers behind you. If you apply your parking brake, you can take your foot off the footbrake. This will turn off the brake lights so that they can’t dazzle the driver behind you.
- Question 26 of 40
26. Question
You’re driving in traffic at the speed limit for the road. What should you do if the driver behind is trying to overtake?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Keep a steady course to give the driver behind an opportunity to overtake safely. If necessary, slow down. Reacting incorrectly to another driver’s impatience can lead to danger.
- Question 27 of 40
27. Question
What does it mean if the signs at a bus lane show no times of operation?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Bus-lane signs show the vehicles allowed to use the lane and its times of operation. Where no times are shown, the bus lane is in operation 24 hours a day.
- Question 28 of 40
28. Question
What should you do when a person herding sheep asks you to stop?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If someone in charge of animals asks you to stop, you should do so and switch off your engine. Animals are unpredictable and startle easily; they could turn and run into your path or into the path of another moving vehicle.
- Question 29 of 40
29. Question
What should you do when you’re overtaking a horse and rider?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Horses can be startled by the sound of a car engine or the rush of air caused by a vehicle passing too closely. Keep well back and only pass when it’s safe. Leave them plenty of room; you may have to use the other side of the road to go past safely.
- Question 30 of 40
30. Question
You’re approaching a zebra crossing. What should you do if pedestrians are waiting to cross?
CorrectIncorrectHint
As you approach a zebra crossing, look for pedestrians waiting to cross. Where you can see them, slow down and prepare to stop. Be especially careful of children and older people, who may have difficulty judging when it’s safe to cross.
- Question 31 of 40
31. Question
What should you do if a vehicle pulls out in front of you at a junction?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Try to anticipate what other drivers might do. Look and plan ahead so that you’re ready to respond safely if a hazard develops. Be tolerant of road users who make mistakes.
- Question 32 of 40
32. Question
You’re approaching a red light at a puffin crossing. Pedestrians are on the crossing. When will the red light change?
CorrectIncorrectHint
A sensor will automatically detect that the pedestrians have reached a safe position. Don’t drive on until the green light shows and it’s safe for you to do so.
- Question 33 of 40
33. Question
Which instrument-panel warning light would show that headlights are on main beam?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should be aware of all the warning lights and visual aids on the vehicle you’re driving. If you’re driving a vehicle for the first time, you should familiarise yourself with all the controls, warning lights and visual aids before you set off.
- Question 34 of 40
34. Question
When should you leave a two-second gap between your vehicle and the one in front?
CorrectIncorrectHint
In good, dry conditions, a driver needs to keep a distance of at least two seconds from the car in front. This should allow enough space for you to stop if the driver in front has to stop suddenly.
- Question 35 of 40
35. Question
You’re driving at night on an unlit road. What should you do if you’re following another vehicle?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you follow another vehicle with your headlights on full beam, they could dazzle the driver. Leave a safe distance and make sure that the light from your dipped beam falls short of the vehicle in front.
- Question 36 of 40
36. Question
What should you do if you’re driving a slow-moving vehicle on a narrow winding road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re driving a slow-moving vehicle along a narrow road, try not to hold up faster traffic. If you see vehicles following behind, pull over in a safe place and let the traffic pass before continuing. Don’t wave other traffic past – this could be dangerous if you or they haven’t noticed a hazard ahead.
- Question 37 of 40
37. Question
You’re driving a car that has a diesel engine. What can a loose filler cap on your fuel tank cause?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Diesel fuel can spill out if your filler cap isn’t secured properly. This is most likely to occur on bends, junctions and roundabouts, where it will make the road slippery, especially if it’s wet. At the end of a spell of dry weather, road surfaces may be especially slippery where diesel has been spilled but it hasn’t been washed away by rain.
- Question 38 of 40
38. Question
What should you do to avoid fuel spillage?
CorrectIncorrectHint
When learning to drive, it’s a good idea to practise filling your car with fuel. Ask your instructor if you can use a petrol station and fill the fuel tank yourself. You need to know where the filler cap is on the car you’re driving, so you know which side of the pump to park at. Take care not to overfill the tank, and make sure you secure the filler cap correctly so that no fuel leaks onto the road while you’re driving.
- Question 39 of 40
39. Question
What style of driving causes increased risk to everyone?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Competitive driving increases the risks to everyone and is the opposite of responsible, considerate and defensive driving. Defensive driving is about questioning the actions of other road users and being prepared for the unexpected. Don’t be taken by surprise.
- Question 40 of 40
40. 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?
CorrectIncorrect
