-
Question 5 of 81
5. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
At a pelican crossing, the green light means you may go, but you must give way to anyone still crossing. If someone hasn’t finished crossing, be patient. People with mobility difficulties can struggle to cross in the time allowed by the lights.
-
Question 6 of 81
6. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always check the road signs. They’ll inform you of hazards ahead so you know what problems to expect. A number of different signs show pedestrians in different situations. Learn them all so you’ll understand the hazards you’re likely to meet.
-
Question 7 of 81
7. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Approaching a junction at the correct speed will allow you enough time to observe and react. Pedestrians crossing here have priority and you must give way to them.
-
Question 8 of 81
8. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always look into the road you’re entering. If pedestrians are already crossing, be considerate and give way to them. Don’t wave or signal them to hurry; they have priority here.
-
Question 9 of 81
9. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Never attempt to change direction to the right without checking your right-hand mirror. A motorcyclist might not have seen your signal and could have decided to overtake. This action should be a matter of routine.
-
Question 10 of 81
10. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Puffin crossings are for use by pedestrians. Cyclists must dismount and push their bicycle over the crossing. Toucan crossings are shared by pedestrians and cyclists, who are permitted to cycle over the crossing. Toucan roadside signals show an icon of a pedestrian and a cyclist together.
-
Question 11 of 81
11. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Toucan crossings can be used by cyclists and pedestrians. Some cycle routes lead cyclists to these crossings. Always look out for cyclists, as they’re likely to be approaching much faster than pedestrians.
-
Question 12 of 81
12. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Vehicles that are used to carry children to and from school will be travelling at busy times of the day. Be prepared for a vehicle with this sign to make frequent stops. It might pick up or set down passengers in places other than normal bus stops.
-
Question 13 of 81
13. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
This shared route is for pedestrians and cyclists only. Be aware that, when it ends, the cyclists will be rejoining the main road.
-
Question 14 of 81
14. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Don’t hurry elderly people across the road by getting too close to them or revving the engine. Be aware that they might take longer to cross. They might also have hearing difficulties and not hear you approaching.
-
Question 15 of 81
15. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Elderly pedestrians may have impaired judgement, hearing and/or vision. Be aware that, if they do start to cross, they could take more time to do so.
-
Question 16 of 81
16. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Leave plenty of room if you’re following a cyclist who’s signalling to turn right at a roundabout. Give them space and time to get into the correct lane.
-
Question 17 of 81
17. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Cycling in today’s heavy traffic can be hazardous. Some cyclists might not feel happy about crossing the path of traffic to take up a position in an outside lane. Be aware of this and understand that, although they’re in the left-hand lane, the cyclist might be turning right.
-
Question 18 of 81
18. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re waiting to emerge from a side road, remember to look for motorcycles. Their small size makes them easy to overlook. Be especially careful if parked vehicles are restricting your view. If you can’t see, don’t go.
-
Question 19 of 81
19. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
A motorcycle can be lost out of sight behind another vehicle. The use of the headlights helps to make the motorcycle more easily seen.
-
Question 20 of 81
20. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Although they’re advised to wear clothing that’s bright or reflective, motorcyclists often wear clothing that’s mainly black. This can make them difficult to see, so you must look carefully for them.
-
Question 21 of 81
21. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Horse riders often keep to the outside of the roundabout even if they’re turning right. Give them room in case they have to cross lanes of traffic.
-
Question 22 of 81
22. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Slow down and be ready to stop if you see animals in the road ahead. Animals are easily frightened by noise and by vehicles passing too close to them. Stop if signalled to do so by the person in charge of the animals.
-
Question 23 of 81
23. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
At night, a pedestrian carrying a red light should be at the back of an organised walk. The walkers should keep to the left, but this won’t always be the case. Pass them very slowly. Be aware that the pedestrians may have their backs to you and might not know you’re approaching.
-
Question 24 of 81
24. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
The flashing amber lights are switched on to warn you that children may be crossing near a school. Drive slowly and be prepared for children running into the road.
-
Question 25 of 81
25. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Be courteous and prepare to stop. Don’t wave people across, as this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching the crossing.
-
Question 26 of 81
26. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Keeping the markings clear ensures that drivers and riders passing and children crossing have a clear, unrestricted view of each other.
-
Question 27 of 81
27. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
These markings are found on the road outside schools. Don’t stop or park on them, even to set down or pick up children. The markings are to make sure that drivers, riders and children have a clear view.
-
Question 28 of 81
28. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re following cyclists onto a roundabout, be aware that they might not take the exit you expect. Cyclists approaching in the left-hand lane could be turning right but may not have been able to get into the right-hand lane. Give them plenty of room.
-
Question 29 of 81
29. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Passing the moped and then turning into the junction could mean that you cut across in front of the rider. This might cause them to slow down, stop or even lose control.
-
Question 30 of 81
30. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Allow horse riders to enter and exit the roundabout in their own time. Don’t drive up close behind or alongside them; this could disturb the horse.
-
Question 31 of 81
31. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Many learners aren’t confident when they first start to drive. Allow them plenty of room and don’t react impatiently when they take their time. Remember that new drivers are inexperienced in dealing with traffic situations, so be patient.
-
Question 32 of 81
32. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Learning is a process of practice and experience. Try to understand this and tolerate others who are at the beginning of this process.
-
Question 33 of 81
33. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
On a quiet country road, always be aware that there may be a hazard just around the next bend, such as a slow-moving vehicle or pedestrians. There might not be a pavement and people may be walking on your side of the road.
-
Question 34 of 81
34. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
You must show consideration to other road users. Elderly drivers may have slower reactions and they might need more time to deal with a situation. Be tolerant and don’t lose patience or show your annoyance.
-
Question 35 of 81
35. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Make allowances for cyclists. Allow them plenty of room, and be aware that they also have to deal with hazards. They might swerve or change direction suddenly to avoid uneven road surfaces.
-
Question 36 of 81
36. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Horses and their riders will move more slowly than other road users. They might not have time to cut across heavy traffic to take up a position in the offside lane when they’re turning right; it could also be hazardous for them to do so. Therefore, a horse and rider may approach a roundabout in the left-hand lane, even though they’re turning right.
-
Question 37 of 81
37. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always check your right-hand mirror and blind spot just before you make a right turn, as another vehicle could be overtaking you. Motorcyclists often filter along the outside of traffic queues. Keep checking all your mirrors while you’re waiting to turn, because situations behind you can change quickly.
-
Question 38 of 81
38. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Beware of children playing in the street and running out into the road. If a ball bounces out from the pavement, slow down and stop if necessary. Don’t encourage anyone to fetch the ball from the road. Other road users might not see your signal and you might lead a child into danger.
-
Question 39 of 81
39. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Motorcyclists can often pass slow or stationary traffic because of the relatively small size of their vehicle. Take a last look in your right-hand mirror to check for motorcyclists and so avoid turning across their path.
-
Question 40 of 81
40. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Watch out for pedestrians if you see a bus ahead. They may not be able to see you if they’re crossing behind the bus.
-
Question 41 of 81
41. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Horses are easily frightened, so pass them slowly and carefully, giving them as much room as possible. On country roads, expect farm animals, horses, pedestrians and farm vehicles. Always be prepared to slow down or stop.
-
Question 42 of 81
42. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Motorcyclists and cyclists are smaller and usually more difficult to see than other vehicles. Look out for them at junctions; failing to see them can lead to a collision.
-
Question 43 of 81
43. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Pedestrians who are part of an organised walk using the road at night should wear bright or reflective clothing. The walker in front should display a white light, while the one at the back should display a red light. Be particularly careful, slow down and give the walkers plenty of room.
-
Question 44 of 81
44. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Look out for cyclists who don’t have lights on. Also be aware that pedestrians – especially those in dark clothing – may be difficult to see.
-
Question 45 of 81
45. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Understanding other road users’ behaviour can help you anticipate their next action. On this occasion it could prevent a serious incident. This type of assessment is part of the forward planning of a professional driver.
-
Question 46 of 81
46. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Motorcyclists can ride through narrow gaps in traffic and generally don’t take up as much room as a car. However, other factors, including the road surface, can affect their stability. Give them an extra safety margin whenever possible.
-
Question 47 of 81
47. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Good forward planning can help you keep other road users out of trouble. Information to help you do this is available if you look for it. Watch for clues: for example, a motorcyclist taking a ‘lifesaver’ look over their shoulder could be about to change direction.
-
Question 48 of 81
48. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Where the road surface has been made slippery (for example, by spilt diesel fuel), motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to skidding.
-
Question 49 of 81
49. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Children getting off the bus will be hidden from your view, and they may not be able to see you. Even if they can see you, they may have poor judgement of danger. You should drive slowly as you pass the bus and be ready to stop.
-
Question 50 of 81
50. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
On a poor road surface, the rider may need to move out to avoid potholes. You may not get much warning. A look to the right or a ‘lifesaver’ check may warn you that they’re about to move out. Stay well back and allow the rider plenty of room until you can pass safely.
-
Question 51 of 81
51. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
A toucan crossing is signal-controlled, but unlike a pelican crossing it doesn’t have a flashing amber light in the sequence. Cyclists and pedestrians cross together, and cyclists are allowed to ride their bicycles over the crossing.
-
Question 52 of 81
52. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Small battery-powered vehicles are often used by disabled people. On unrestricted dual carriageways, these vehicles must show a flashing amber light.

-
Question 53 of 81
53. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Children can be unpredictable, and when they’re in groups they may fool around and push each other into the road. You should drive with extreme caution when you’re near them. You need to be ready to stop suddenly.
-
Question 54 of 81
54. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Never follow any road user too closely. This is particularly important when you’re following scooter or motorcycle riders, or cyclists. They might brake or swerve suddenly; for example, to avoid a pothole on a road with a poor surface.
-
Question 55 of 81
55. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Stay back and allow the cyclist to proceed. You mustn’t cut across in front of them. Also be aware of any cyclists who may try to pass on your left as you slow for the turn.
-
Question 56 of 81
56. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always be aware of your limited vision around your vehicle, due to its size and shape. Never move off without checking along the nearside of your vehicle. You should be aware of the possibility of cyclists and motorcyclists getting trapped between your vehicle and the kerb.
-
Question 57 of 81
57. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
The cyclist may not be able to get into a right-hand lane due to heavy traffic. Give them room, as they may not be taking the exit you expect.
-
Question 58 of 81
58. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Allow the cyclist plenty of room. Give them space and be prepared for them to change direction. To stay safe, they may travel around the roundabout in the left-hand lane.
-
Question 59 of 81
59. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
If any animal you pass on the road becomes unsettled, you should brake gently and come to a stop. A nervous animal is unpredictable, so you should wait until it has settled or passed by. Other road users behind you may have a limited view of the hazard, so use your mirrors and give clear signals if necessary.
-
Question 60 of 81
60. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always check carefully for cyclists when emerging from a junction. Bicycles, being much narrower than any other vehicle, can be quite difficult to see.
-
Question 61 of 81
61. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always look for the more vulnerable road users, such as motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians (especially children), animals and horse riders. All need your consideration. Motorcycles are relatively small, but they can move just as fast as other vehicles, making them easy to overlook.
-
Question 62 of 81
62. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
The main reason why there are so many collisions at junctions is that drivers fail to see motorcyclists. A bright jacket or single headlight may help you identify an approaching motorcyclist, but you should be aware that not all motorcyclists wear bright clothing or use their headlights during the day.
-
Question 63 of 81
63. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
In slow-moving traffic, particularly on dual carriageways or motorways, always be on the lookout for motorcyclists who approach from behind and filter through narrow gaps between vehicles.
-
Question 64 of 81
64. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Junctions are especially risky for some road users – particularly motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians and mobility-scooter users. Their small size means they’re easily hidden from view. At busy junctions, scan the near, middle and far distance to identify all hazards before emerging with a long vehicle.
-
Question 65 of 81
65. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always be concerned for the safety of other road users. Be aware of the various factors and situations where you may have to take action to keep more vulnerable road users safe.
-
Question 66 of 81
66. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Prepare to slow down and stop, as you would for a person without a disability. Don’t wave them across, as other traffic may not stop.
-
Question 67 of 81
67. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
If a school crossing patrol steps out into the road with a ‘stop’ sign, you must stop. Don’t wave anyone across the road or get impatient and rev your engine.
-
Question 68 of 81
68. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
The motorcyclist might be turning right, changing direction or unsure of their destination. Stay behind until the rider has made a move or you’re sure you can pass safely. Don’t intimidate them by moving too close.
-
Question 69 of 81
69. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Road junctions can be especially dangerous for some road users, especially those that are small and more easily overlooked. Effective observation is necessary to ensure you don’t overlook anything.
-
Question 70 of 81
70. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Look well ahead and be ready to deal with any hazards you see coming up, such as animals in the road. Horses are easily scared by the noise of an engine and the size of your vehicle may also be intimidating. Approach them as slowly and quietly as you can.
-
Question 71 of 81
71. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
When the lights turn to green, you may drive on, but only if the crossing is clear. You should wait for any pedestrians to finish crossing, regardless of their age. Allow them to cross the road at their own pace; don’t try to hurry them in any way.
-
Question 72 of 81
72. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Potholes and raised drain covers in the road can unsteady a motorcyclist. They may suddenly swerve to avoid these uneven surfaces. Watch out at places where the road is in poor condition and this is likely to occur.
-
Question 73 of 81
73. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
In queuing traffic, motorcyclists may take the opportunity to filter between the lanes. Be aware that they may pass on either side and very close. Stay alert and always check your mirrors and blind spots before moving off, changing lanes or turning.
-
Question 74 of 81
74. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Scan the road as you drive. Try to anticipate hazards by being aware of the places where they’re likely to occur; for example, pedestrians and cyclists emerging between parked cars on a busy street. If you’re prepared, you’ll be able to slow down or stop in good time.
-
Question 75 of 81
75. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Parking on the yellow zigzag lines will block the view of the school entrance. This will endanger the lives of children wanting to cross the road on their way to and from school.
-
Question 76 of 81
76. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Just before turning, a check in the offside mirror will help you to see any cyclist or motorcyclist passing on your offside. This check may help to prevent a serious incident from developing.
-
Question 77 of 81
77. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
Motorcyclists and cyclists may be more difficult to see, especially at junctions. They can be easily hidden by obstructions such as other vehicles, and the small size of an approaching motorcycle may make it difficult to judge its speed and distance. It’s vital that you don’t emerge until you’re sure it’s safe.
-
Question 78 of 81
78. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross the road into which or from which you’re turning. Be patient if they’re cautious and take their time checking that it’s safe before they step into the road.
-
Question 79 of 81
79. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
On narrow sections of road, horse riders may ride in the centre of the lane. This is for their own safety as it makes them more visible. You should be patient and only pass when it’s safe to do so.
-
Question 80 of 81
80. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should leave cyclists at least as much room as you would if you were overtaking a car. Leave them more room if you’re overtaking at speeds over 30 mph.
-
Question 81 of 81
81. Question
CorrectIncorrectHint
You should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross the road into which or from which you’re turning. Be patient if they’re cautious, and let them check that it’s safe from all directions before they step into the road. Do not signal or wave them to cross.
