This sign gives you a warning. The brow of
the hill prevents you seeing oncoming traffic
so you must be cautious. The bridge is
narrow and there may not be enough room

may be walking in the road. Consider the
hidden hazards and be ready to react if
necessary. - Question 2 of 37

all the time. Don’t cause other road users
to change speed or direction as you
emerge. - Question 12 of 37

driver?CorrectIncorrectHint
Modern vehicles provide the driver with
well-positioned mirrors which are essential
to safe driving. However, they cannot see
every angle of the scene behind and to the
sides of the vehicle. This is why it is
essential that you check over your
shoulder, so that you are aware of any
hazards not reflected in your mirrors. - Question 28 of 37

any messages when you stop. - Question 32 of 37
32. Question

carriageway. What should you do before
emerging?CorrectIncorrectHint

carriageway make sure that the central
reserve is deep enough to protect your

system. How should you avoid letting this
distract you while driving?CorrectIncorrectHint

while driving. Pull up in a convenient and
safe place before adjusting them. - Question 36 of 37
