- Question 1 of 73
1. Question
Which sign means that there may be people walking along the road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Always check the road signs. Triangular signs are warning signs: they inform you about hazards ahead and help you to anticipate any problems. There are a number of different signs showing pedestrians. Learn the meaning of each one.
- Question 2 of 73
2. Question
What should you do if you want to turn left at a junction where pedestrians have started to cross?
CorrectIncorrectHint
When you’re turning into a side road, pedestrians who are crossing have priority. You should wait to allow them to finish crossing safely. Be patient if they’re slow or unsteady. Don’t try to rush them by sounding your horn, flashing your lights, revving your engine or giving any other inappropriate signal.
- Question 3 of 73
3. Question
What hazard should you be especially aware of if you’re turning left into a side road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Make sure that you’ve reduced your speed and are in the correct gear for the turn. Look into the road before you turn and always give way to any pedestrians who are crossing.
- Question 4 of 73
4. Question
Why should you check for motorcyclists just before turning right into a side road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Never attempt to change direction to the right without first checking your right-hand mirror and blind spot. A motorcyclist might not have seen your signal and could be hidden by other traffic. This observation should become a matter of routine.
- Question 5 of 73
5. Question
Why is a toucan crossing different from other crossings?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Toucan crossings are shared by pedestrians and cyclists, who are permitted to cycle across. They’re shown the green light together. The signals are push-button-operated and there’s no flashing amber phase.
- Question 6 of 73
6. Question
How will a school crossing patrol signal you to stop?
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 and don’t get impatient or rev your engine.
- Question 7 of 73
7. Question
Where would you see this sign?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Vehicles that are used to carry children to and from school will be travelling at busy times of the day. If you’re following a vehicle with this sign, be prepared for it to make frequent stops. It might pick up or set down passengers in places other than normal bus stops.
- Question 8 of 73
8. Question
What does this sign mean?
CorrectIncorrectHint
This sign shows a shared route for pedestrians and cyclists: when it ends, the cyclists will be rejoining the main road.
- Question 9 of 73
9. Question
You see a pedestrian carrying a white stick that also has a red band. What does this mean?
CorrectIncorrectHint
When someone is deaf as well as blind, they may carry a white stick with a red reflective band or bands. They may not be aware that you’re approaching and they may not be able to hear anything; so, for example, your horn would be ineffective as a warning to them.
- Question 10 of 73
10. Question
What would you do if you see older people crossing the road ahead?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Be aware that older people might take a long time to cross the road. They might also be hard of hearing and not hear you approaching. Don’t hurry older people across the road by getting too close to them or revving your engine.
- Question 11 of 73
11. Question
What should you do when you see an older person about to cross the road ahead?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Older people may have impaired hearing, vision, concentration and judgement. They may also walk slowly and so could take a long time to cross the road.
- Question 12 of 73
12. Question
You’re approaching a roundabout. What should you do if a cyclist ahead is signalling to turn right?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re following a cyclist who’s signalling to turn right at a roundabout, leave plenty of room. Give them space and time to get into the correct lane.
- Question 13 of 73
13. Question
Which vehicle should you allow extra room as you overtake them?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Don’t pass cyclists too closely, as they may
• need to veer around a pothole, drain or other hazard• be buffeted by side wind
• be made unsteady by your vehicle.
Always leave as much room as you would for a car, and don’t cut in front of them. - Question 14 of 73
14. Question
Why should you look carefully for motorcyclists and cyclists at junctions?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Cyclists and motorcyclists are smaller than other vehicles and so are more difficult to see. They can easily be hidden from your view by cars parked near a junction.
- Question 15 of 73
15. Question
You’re waiting to come out of a side road. Why should you look carefully for motorcycles?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re waiting to emerge from a side road, look carefully for motorcycles: they can be difficult to see. Be especially careful if there are parked vehicles or other obstructions restricting your view.
- Question 16 of 73
16. Question
Why do motorcyclists use dipped headlights in daylight?
CorrectIncorrectHint
A motorcycle can be lost from sight behind another vehicle. The use of headlights helps to make it more conspicuous and therefore more easily seen.
- Question 17 of 73
17. Question
Why do motorcyclists wear bright clothing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Motorcycles and scooters are generally smaller than other vehicles and can be difficult to see. Wearing bright clothing makes it easier for other road users to see a motorcyclist approaching, especially at junctions.
- Question 18 of 73
18. Question
Why do motorcyclists often look round over their right shoulder just before turning right?
CorrectIncorrectHint
When you see a motorcyclist take a glance over their shoulder, they’re probably about to change direction. Recognising a clue like this helps you to anticipate their next action. This can improve road safety for you and others.
- Question 19 of 73
19. Question
Which is the most vulnerable road user?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Pedestrians and riders on two wheels can be harder to see than other road users. Make sure you look for them, especially at junctions. Effective observation, coupled with appropriate action, can save lives.
- Question 20 of 73
20. Question
You’re approaching a roundabout. What should you do if there are horses being ridden in front of you?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Horse riders often keep to the outside of the roundabout even if they’re turning right. Give them plenty of room and remember that they may have to cross lanes of traffic.
- Question 21 of 73
21. Question
As you approach a pelican crossing, the lights change to green. What should you do if older people are still crossing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If the lights turn to green, wait for any pedestrians to clear the crossing. Allow them to finish crossing the road in their own time, and don’t try to hurry them by revving your engine.
- Question 22 of 73
22. Question
What action should you take when you see flashing amber lights under a school warning sign?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The flashing amber lights are switched on to warn you that children may be crossing near a school. Slow down and take extra care, as you may have to stop.
- Question 23 of 73
23. Question
Why should these road markings be kept clear?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The markings are there to show that the area should be kept clear. This is to allow an unrestricted view for
• approaching drivers and riders
• children wanting to cross the road. - Question 24 of 73
24. Question
Where would you see this sign?
CorrectIncorrectHint
School buses can stop to pick up or drop off schoolchildren at places that aren’t designated bus stops. Watch out for children crossing the road to catch the bus or from the far side of the bus if they’ve just been dropped off.
- Question 25 of 73
25. Question
You’re following two cyclists as they approach a roundabout in the left-hand lane. Where would you expect the cyclists to go?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Cyclists approaching a roundabout in the left-hand lane may be turning right but may not have been able to get into the correct lane due to heavy traffic. They may also feel safer keeping to the left all the way around the roundabout. Be aware of them and give them plenty of room.
- Question 26 of 73
26. Question
You’re travelling behind a moped. What should you do if you want to turn left a short distance ahead?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Passing the moped and turning into the junction could mean that you cut across the front of the rider. This might force them to slow down, stop or even lose control. Stay behind the moped until it has passed the junction and then you can turn without affecting the rider.
- Question 27 of 73
27. Question
You see a horse rider as you approach a roundabout. What should you do if they’re signalling right but keeping well to the left?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Allow the horse rider to enter and exit the roundabout in their own time. They may feel safer keeping to the left all the way around the roundabout. Don’t get up close behind or alongside them, because that would probably upset the horse and create a dangerous situation.
- Question 28 of 73
28. Question
How should you react to inexperienced drivers?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Learners might not have confidence when they first start to drive. Allow them plenty of room and don’t react adversely to their hesitation. We all learn from experience, but new drivers will have had less practice in dealing with all the situations that might occur.
- Question 29 of 73
29. Question
What should you do when you’re following a learner driver who stalls at a junction?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Learning to drive is a process of practice and experience. Try to understand this and tolerate those who make mistakes while they’re learning.
- Question 30 of 73
30. Question
You’re on a country road that has no pavement. What should you anticipate finding on your side of the road?
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. Pedestrians are advised to walk on the right-hand side of the road if there’s no pavement, so they may be walking towards you on your side of the road.
- Question 31 of 73
31. Question
You’re following a cyclist. What should you do when you wish to turn left a short distance ahead?
CorrectIncorrect - Question 32 of 73
32. Question
A horse rider is in the left-hand lane approaching a roundabout. Where should you expect the rider to go?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Horses and their riders move more slowly than other road users. They might not have time to cut across heavy traffic to take up a position in the right-hand lane. For this reason, a horse and rider may approach a roundabout in the left-hand lane even though they’re turning right.
- Question 33 of 73
33. Question
Powered vehicles used by disabled people are small and can be hard to see. What must they display if they’re travelling on a dual carriageway?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Powered vehicles used by disabled people are small and low making them hard to see on the road. They also travel very slowly. On an unrestricted dual carriageway, they must display a flashing amber beacon to warn other road users of their presence.
- Question 34 of 73
34. Question
What does it mean when a moving vehicle is showing a flashing amber beacon?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Different coloured beacons warn of different types of vehicle needing special attention. Blue beacons are used on emergency vehicles that need priority. Green beacons are found on doctors’ cars. Amber beacons generally denote slower moving vehicles, which are often large. These vehicles are usually involved in road maintenance or local amenities and make frequent stops.
- Question 35 of 73
35. Question
What does this sign mean?
CorrectIncorrectHint

- Question 36 of 73
36. Question
What should you do when you see these horse riders in front?
CorrectIncorrectHint

- Question 37 of 73
37. Question
What’s the purpose of these road markings?

- Question 38 of 73
38. Question
What should you do if the left-hand pavement is closed due to street repairs?

- Question 42 of 73
42. Question
What should you do when you’re approaching this crossing?

43. Question
What does it mean if you see a pedestrian with a dog that has a yellow or burgundy coat?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Dogs trained to help deaf people have a yellow or burgundy coat. If you see one, you should take extra care, as the pedestrian may not be aware of vehicles approaching.
- Question 44 of 73
44. Question
Who may use toucan crossings?

- Question 45 of 73
45. Question
This junction, controlled by traffic lights, has a marked area between two stop lines. What’s this for?
CorrectIncorrectHint
These are known as advanced stop lines. When the lights are red (or about to become red), you should stop at the first white line. However, if you’ve crossed that line as the lights change, you must stop at the second line even if it means you’re in the area reserved for cyclists.
- Question 46 of 73
46. Question
You’re about to overtake a cyclist. Why should you leave them as much room as you would give to a car?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Before overtaking, assess the situation. Look well ahead to see whether the cyclist will need to change direction. Be especially aware of a cyclist approaching parked vehicles, as they’ll need to alter course. Don’t pass too closely or cut in sharply as this could unsettle the rider.
- Question 47 of 73
47. Question
What should you do when you’re passing loose sheep on the road?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Slow down and be ready to stop if you see animals in the road ahead. Animals are easily frightened by noise and vehicles passing too close to them. Stop if you’re signalled to do so by the person in charge.
- Question 48 of 73
48. Question
At night, what does it mean if you see a pedestrian wearing reflective clothing and carrying a bright red light?
CorrectIncorrectHint

- Question 49 of 73
49. Question
You’ve just passed your driving test. How can you reduce your risk of being involved in a collision?
CorrectIncorrectHint
New drivers and riders are often involved in a collision or incident early in their driving career. Due to a lack of experience, they may not react to hazards appropriately. Approved training courses are offered by driver and rider training schools for people who have passed their test but want extra training.

- Question 51 of 73
51. Question
You’re about to reverse into a side road. What should you do if a pedestrian is waiting to cross behind your car?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you need to reverse into a side road, try to find a place that’s free from traffic and pedestrians. Look all around before and during the manoeuvre. Stop and give way to any pedestrians who want to cross behind you. Avoid waving them across, sounding the horn, flashing your lights or giving any signals that could mislead them and create a dangerous situation.
- Question 52 of 73
52. Question
Which road users are most difficult to see when you’re reversing your car?

- Question 55 of 73
55. Question
You’ve driven up to a pelican crossing. What must you do while the amber light is flashing?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The flashing amber light allows pedestrians already on the crossing to get to the other side before a green light shows to the traffic. Be aware that some pedestrians, such as older people and young children, need longer to cross. Let them do this at their own pace.
- Question 56 of 73
56. Question
You’ve stopped at a pelican crossing. What should you do if a disabled person is crossing slowly in front of you and the lights change to green?

- Question 57 of 73
57. Question
You’re driving past a line of parked cars. What should you do if a ball bounces out into the road ahead?
CorrectIncorrectHint

- Question 59 of 73
59. Question
You’re driving in a slow-moving queue of traffic. What should you do just before changing lane?
CorrectIncorrectHint

- Question 61 of 73
61. Question
How should you overtake horse riders?

- Question 62 of 73
62. Question
Why should you allow extra room while overtaking a motorcyclist on a windy day?

- Question 63 of 73
63. Question
Where should you take particular care to look for motorcyclists and cyclists?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Motorcyclists and cyclists are often more difficult to see at junctions. They’re easily hidden from view and you may not be able to see them approaching a junction if your view is partially blocked; for example, by other traffic.
- Question 64 of 73
64. Question
The road outside this school is marked with yellow zigzag lines. What do these lines mean?

69. Question
You’re travelling on a narrow section of road. What should you do if a horse rider ahead is riding in the centre of the lane?
