Question 1 of 275
1. Question
Category: AlertnessAs you approach this bridge you should
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
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
for you to pass an oncoming vehicle at this
point. There is no footpath, so pedestrians
may be walking in the road. Consider the
hidden hazards and be ready to react if
necessary. -
Question 2 of 275
2. Question
Category: AlertnessIn which of these situations should you avoid overtaking?
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
As you begin to think about overtaking, ask yourself if it’s really necessary. If you can’t see well ahead stay back and wait for a safer place to pull out.

Correct
Incorrect
Hint
The safest option is to switch off your mobile phone before you set off, and use a message service. Even hands-free systems are likely to distract your attention. Don’t endanger other road users. If you need to make a call, pull up in a safe place when you can, you may need to go some distance before you can find one. It’s illegal to use a hend-held moble or similar device when driving or riding, except in a genuine emergency.

directions. Make sure that the road is wide
enough to carry out the manoeuvre safely. -
Question 6 of 275

Category: AlertnessYou are approaching traffic lights that have
been on green for some time. You shouldCorrect

changing. Always allow for this on
approach and be prepared to stop. -
Question 7 of 275
7. Question
Category: AlertnessWhy are these yellow lines painted across
the road?
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
These lines are often found on the
approach to a roundabout or a dangerous
junction. They give you extra warning to
adjust your speed. Look well ahead and do
this in good time. -
Question 8 of 275
8. Question
Category: AlertnessWhich of the following should you do before
stopping?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Before pulling up check the mirrors to see
what is happening behind you. Also assess
what is ahead and make sure you give the
correct signal if it helps other road users. -
Question 9 of 275
9. Question
Category: AlertnessWhen following a large vehicle you should
keep well back because thisCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
If you’re following a large vehicle but are so
close to it that you can’t see the exterior
mirrors, the driver can’t see you.
Keeping well back will also allow you to see
the road ahead by looking past either side
of the large vehicle. -
Question 10 of 275
10. Question
Category: AlertnessWhen you see a hazard ahead you should
use the mirrors. Why is this?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
You should be constantly scanning the
road for clues about what is going to
happen next. Check your mirrors regularly,
particularly as soon as you spot a hazard.
What is happening behind may affect your
response to hazards ahead. -
Question 11 of 275
11. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are waiting to turn right at the end of a
road. Your view is obstructed by parked
vehicles. What should you do?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
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 275
12. Question
Category: AlertnessObjects hanging from your interior mirror

hanging objects could affect your field of
vision or draw your eyes away from the
road. -
Question 13 of 275
13. Question
Category: AlertnessWhich of the following may cause loss of
concentration on a long journey?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
You should not allow yourself to be
distracted when driving. You need to
concentrate fully in order to be safe on the
road. Loud music could mask other
sounds, such as the audible warning of an
emergency vehicle. Any distraction which
causes you to take your hands off the
steering wheel or your eyes off the road
could be dangerous. -

14. Question
Category: AlertnessOn a long motorway journey boredom can
cause you to feel sleepy. You shouldCorrect

have serious consequences. -
Question 15 of 275
15. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are driving at dusk. You should switch
your lights onCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Your headlights and tail lights help others
on the road to see you. It may be
necessary to turn on your lights 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. -

off the road are potentially dangerous. You
must be in full control of your vehicle at all
times. -
Question 17 of 275
17. Question
Category: AlertnessWhich FOUR are most likely to cause you to
lose concentration while you are driving?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
It’s easy to be distracted. Planning your
journey before you set off is important. A
few sensible precautions are to tune your
radio to stations in your area of travel, take
planned breaks, and plan your route.
Except for emergencies it is illegal to use a
hand-held mobile phone while driving. Even
using a hands-free kit can distract your
attention. -

Category: AlertnessYou should ONLY use a mobile phone when
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
It is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone
while driving, except in a genuine
emergency. Even using 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 will also be free to take notes or
refer to papers. -
Question 19 of 275
19. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are driving on a wet road. You have to
stop your vehicle in an emergency. You
shouldCorrect

around so that you’re ready for any hazards
that might occur. There may be occasions
when you have to stop in an emergency.
React as soon as you can whilst keeping
control of the vehicle. -
Question 20 of 275
20. Question
Category: AlertnessWhen you are moving off from behind a
parked car you shouldCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Before moving off you should use all the
mirrors to check if the road is clear. Look
round to check the blind spots and give a
signal if it is necessary to warn other road
users of your intentions. -
Question 21 of 275
21. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are travelling along this narrow country
road. When passing the cyclist you should
goCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Look well ahead and only pull out if it is
safe. You will need to use all of the road to
pass the cyclist, so be extra-cautious. Look
out for entrances to fields where tractors or
other farm machinery could be waiting to
pull out. -
Question 22 of 275
22. Question
Category: AlertnessYour vehicle is fitted with a hand-held
telephone. To use the telephone you shouldCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Your attention should be on your driving at
all times. Except in a genuine emergency
never attempt to use a hand-held phone
while on the move. It’s illegal and very
dangerous. Your eyes could wander from
the road and at 60 mph your vehicle will
travel about 27 metres (89 feet) every
second. -
Question 23 of 275
23. Question
Category: AlertnessTo answer a call on your mobile phone while
travelling you shouldCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
No phone call is important enough to risk
endangering lives. It’s better to switch your
phone off completely when driving. If you
must be contactable plan your route to
include breaks so you can catch up on
messages in safety. Always choose a safe
and convenient place to take a break, such
as a lay-by or service area. -
Question 24 of 275
24. Question
Category: AlertnessYou lose your way on a busy road. What is
the best action to take?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
It’s easy to lose your way in an unfamiliar
area. If you need to check a map or ask for
directions, first find a safe place to stop. -
Question 25 of 275
25. Question
Category: AlertnessWindscreen pillars can obstruct your view.
You should take particular care whenCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Windscreen pillars can obstruct your view,
particularly at bends and junctions. Look
out for other road users, particularly cyclists
and pedestrians, as they can be hard to
see. -
Question 26 of 275
26. Question
Category: AlertnessYou cannot see clearly behind when
reversing. What should you do?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
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 27 of 275
27. Question
Category: AlertnessWhat does the term ‘blind spot’ mean for a
driver?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
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 275
28. Question
Category: AlertnessYour vehicle is fitted with a hands-free
phone system. Using this equipment whilst
drivingCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Using a hands-free system doesn’t mean
that you can safely drive and use a mobile
phone. This type of mobile phone can still
distract your attention from the road. As a
driver, it is your responsibility to keep
yourself and other road users safe at all
times. -
Question 29 of 275
29. Question
Category: AlertnessUsing a hands-free phone is likely to
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Unlike someone in the car with you, the
person on the other end of the line is
unable to see the traffic situations you are
dealing with. They will not stop speaking to
you even if you are approaching a
hazardous situation. You need to be
concentrating on your driving all of the
time, but especially so when dealing with a
hazard. -
Question 30 of 275
30. Question
Category: AlertnessWhat is the safest way to use a mobile
phone in your vehicle?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
It’s illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone
while driving, except in genuine
emergencies. Even using hands-free kit is
very likely to take your mind off your
driving. If the use of a mobile causes you to
drive in a careless or dangerous manner,
you could be prosecuted for those
offences. The penalties include an unlimited
fine, disqualification and up to two years’
imprisonment. -
Question 31 of 275
31. Question
Category: AlertnessYour mobile phone rings while you are on
the motorway. Before answering you shouldCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
When driving on motorways, you can’t just
pull up to answer your mobile phone. Do
not stop on the hard shoulder or slip road.
To avoid being distracted it’s safer to switch
it off when driving. If you need to be
contacted plan your journey to include
breaks at service areas so you can pick up
any messages when you stop. -
Question 32 of 275
32. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are turning right onto a dual
carriageway. What should you do before
emerging?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Before emerging right onto a dual
carriageway make sure that the central
reserve is deep enough to protect your
vehicle. If it’s not, you should treat it 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 33 of 275
33. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are waiting to emerge from a junction.
The windscreen pillar is restricting your view.
What should you be particularly aware of?
Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Windscreen pillars can completely block
your view of pedestrians, motorcyclists and
pedal cyclists. You should particularly
watch out for these road users; don’t just
rely on a quick glance. Where possible
make eye contact with them so you can be
sure they have seen you too. -
Question 34 of 275
34. Question
Category: AlertnessWhen emerging from junctions, which is
most likely to obstruct your view?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Windscreen pillars can block your view,
particularly at junctions. Those road users
most at risk of not being seen are cyclists,
motorcyclists and pedestrians. Never rely
on just a quick glance. -
Question 35 of 275
35. Question
Category: AlertnessYour vehicle is fitted with a navigation
system. How should you avoid letting this
distract you while driving?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Vehicle navigation systems 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 driving. Pull up in a convenient and
safe place before adjusting them. -
Question 36 of 275
36. Question
Category: AlertnessYou are driving on a motorway and want to
use your mobile phone. What should you
do?Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Except in a genuine emergency you MUST
NOT use your mobile phone when driving.
If you need to use it leave the motorway
and find a safe place to stop. Even a
hands-free phone can distract your
attention. Use your voicemail to receive
calls. Driving requires all of your attention,
all of the time. -
Question 37 of 275
37. Question
Category: AlertnessYou must not use a hand-held phone while
driving. Using a hands-free systemCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
While driving your concentration is required
all the time. Even using a hands-free kit can
still distract your attention from the road.
Any distraction, however brief, is potentially
dangerous and could cause you to lose
control. Except in a genuine emergency, it
is an offence to use a hand-held phone
while driving. -
Question 38 of 275
38. Question
Category: AttitudeAt a pelican crossing the flashing amber
light means you MUSTCorrect
Incorrect
Hint
Pelican crossings are signal-controlled
crossings operated by pedestrians. Pushbutton
controls change the signals. Pelican
crossings have no red-and-amber stage
before green. Instead, they have a flashing
amber light, which means you MUST give
way to pedestrians already on the crossing,
but if it is clear, you may continue. -
Question 39 of 275
39. Question
Category: AttitudeYou should never wave people across at
pedestrian crossings becauseCorrect
