- Question 1 of 96
1. Question
Where would you expect to see these
markers?
CorrectIncorrectHint
These markers must be fitted to vehicles
over 13 metres long, large goods vehicles,
and rubbish skips placed in the road. They
are reflective to make them easier to see in
the dark. - Question 2 of 96
2. Question
What is the main hazard shown in this
picture?CorrectIncorrectHint
Look at the picture carefully and try to
imagine you’re there. The cyclist in this
picture appears to be trying to cross the
road. You must be able to deal with the
unexpected, especially when you’re
approaching a hazardous junction. Look
well ahead to give yourself time to deal with
any hazards. - Question 3 of 96
3. Question
Which road user has caused a hazard?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The car arrowed A is parked within the area
marked by zigzag lines at the pedestrian
crossing. Parking here is illegal. It also
• blocks the view for pedestrians wishing
to cross the road
• restricts the view of the crossing for
approaching traffic. - Question 4 of 96
4. Question
What should the driver of the car
approaching the crossing do?CorrectIncorrectHint
Look well ahead to see if any hazards are
developing. This will give you more time to
deal with them in the correct way. The man
in the picture is clearly intending to cross
the road. You should be travelling at a
speed that allows you to check your mirror,
slow down and stop in good time. You
shouldn’t have to brake harshly. - Question 5 of 96
5. Question
What THREE things should the driver of the
grey car (arrowed) be especially aware of?CorrectIncorrectHint
You need to be aware that other road users
may not have seen you. Always be on the
lookout for hazards that may develop
suddenly and need you to take avoiding
action. - Question 6 of 96
6. Question
You see this sign ahead. You should expect
the road to
CorrectIncorrectHint
Adjust your speed in good time and select
the correct gear for your speed. Going too
fast into the bend could cause you to lose
control.
Braking late and harshly while changing
direction reduces your vehicle’s grip on the
road, and is likely to cause a skid. - Question 7 of 96
7. Question
You are approaching this cyclist. You should
CorrectIncorrectHint
Keep well back and allow the cyclist room
to take up the correct position for the turn.
Don’t get too close behind or try to
squeeze past. - Question 8 of 96
8. Question
Why must you take extra care when turning
right at this junction?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You may have to pull forward slowly until
you can see up and down the road. Be
aware that the traffic approaching the
junction can’t see you either. If you don’t
know that it’s clear, don’t go. - Question 9 of 96
9. Question
When approaching this bridge you should
give way to
CorrectIncorrectHint
A double-deck bus or high-sided lorry will
have to take up a position in the centre of
the road so that it can clear the bridge.
There is normally a sign to indicate this.
Look well down the road, through the
bridge and be aware you may have to stop
and give way to an oncoming large vehicle. - Question 10 of 96
10. Question
What type of vehicle could you expect to
meet in the middle of the road?CorrectIncorrectHint
The highest point of the bridge is in the
centre so a large vehicle might have to
move to the centre of the road to allow it
enough room to pass under the bridge - Question 11 of 96
11. Question
At this blind junction you must stop
CorrectIncorrectHint
The ‘stop’ sign has been put here because
there is a poor view into the main road. You
must stop because it will not be possible to
assess the situation on the move, however
slowly you are travelling. - Question 12 of 96
12. Question
A driver pulls out of a side road in front of
you. You have to brake hard. You shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
Where there are a number of side roads,
be alert. Be especially careful if there are a
lot of parked vehicles because they can
make it more difficult for drivers emerging
to see you. Try to be tolerant if a vehicle
does emerge and you have to brake
quickly. Don’t react aggressively. - Question 13 of 96
13. Question
An elderly person’s driving ability could be
affected because they may be unable toCorrectIncorrectHint
Be tolerant of older drivers. Poor eyesight
and hearing could affect the speed with
which they react to a hazard and may
cause them to be hesitant. - Question 14 of 96
14. Question
You have just passed these warning lights.
What hazard would you expect to see next?
CorrectIncorrectHint
These lights warn that children may be
crossing the road to a nearby school. Slow
down so that you’re ready to stop if
necessary. - Question 15 of 96
15. Question
You are planning a long journey. Do you
need to plan rest stops?CorrectIncorrectHint
Try to plan your journey so that you can
take rest stops. It’s recommended that you
take a break of at least 15 minutes after
every two hours of driving. This should help
to maintain your concentration. - Question 16 of 96
16. Question
A driver does something that upsets you.
You shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
There are times when other road users
make a misjudgement or mistake. When
this happens try not to get annoyed and
don’t react by showing anger. Sounding
your horn, flashing your headlights or
shouting won’t help the situation. Good
anticipation will help to prevent these
incidents becoming collisions. - Question 17 of 96
17. Question
The red lights are flashing. What should you
do when approaching this level crossing?CorrectIncorrectHint
At level crossings the red lights flash before
and when the barrier is down. At most
crossings an amber light will precede the
red lights. You must stop behind the white
line unless you have already crossed it
when the amber light comes on. NEVER
zigzag around half-barriers. - Question 18 of 96
18. Question
You are approaching crossroads. The traffic
lights have failed. What should you do?CorrectIncorrectHint
When approaching a junction where the
traffic lights have failed, you should
proceed with caution. Treat the situation as
an unmarked junction and be prepared to
stop. - Question 19 of 96
19. Question
What should the driver of the red car
(arrowed) do?CorrectIncorrectHint
Some people might take longer to cross
the road. They may be older or have a
disability. Be patient and don’t hurry them
by showing your impatience. They might
have poor eyesight or not be able to hear
traffic approaching. If pedestrians are
standing at the side of the road, don’t
signal or wave them to cross. Other road
users may not have seen your signal and
this could lead the pedestrians into a
hazardous situation. - Question 20 of 96
20. Question
You are following a slower-moving vehicle
on a narrow country road. There is a
junction just ahead on the right. What
should you do?CorrectIncorrectHint
You should never overtake as you
approach a junction. If a vehicle emerged
from the junction while you were
overtaking, a dangerous situation could
develop very quickly. - Question 21 of 96
21. Question
What should you do as you approach this
overhead bridge?CorrectIncorrectHint
Oncoming large vehicles may need to
move to the middle of the road so that they
can pass safely under the bridge. There will
not be enough room for you to continue
and you should be ready to stop and wait. - Question 22 of 96
22. Question
Why are mirrors often slightly curved
(convex)?CorrectIncorrectHint
Although a convex mirror gives a wide view
of the scene behind, you should be aware
that it will not show you everything behind
or to the side of the vehicle. Before you
move off you will need to check over your
shoulder to look for anything not visible in
the mirrors. - Question 23 of 96
23. Question
You see this sign on the rear of a slowmoving
lorry that you want to pass. It is
travelling in the middle lane of a three-lane
motorway. You should
CorrectIncorrectHint
This sign is found on slow-moving or
stationary works vehicles. If you wish to
overtake, do so on the left, as indicated.
Be aware that there might be workmen in
the area. - Question 24 of 96
24. Question
You think the driver of the vehicle in front
has forgotten to cancel their right indicator.
You shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
The driver may be unsure of the location of
a junction and turn suddenly. Be cautious
and don’t attempt to overtake. - Question 25 of 96
25. Question
What is the main hazard the driver of the red
car (arrowed) should be aware of?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you can do so safely give way to buses
signalling to move off at bus stops. Try to
anticipate the actions of other road users
around you. The driver of the red car
should be prepared for the bus pulling out.
As you approach a bus stop look to see
how many passengers are waiting to
board. If the last one has just got on, the
bus is likely to move off. - Question 26 of 96
26. Question
This yellow sign on a vehicle indicates this is
CorrectIncorrectHint
Buses which carry children to and from
school may stop at places other than
scheduled bus stops. Be aware that they
might pull over at any time to allow children
to get on or off. This will normally be when
traffic is heavy during rush hour. - Question 27 of 96
27. Question
What TWO main hazards should you be
aware of when going along this street?
CorrectIncorrectHint
On roads where there are many parked
vehicles you should take extra care. You
might not be able to see children between
parked cars and they may run out into the
road without looking.
People may open car doors without
realising the hazard this can create. You will
also need to look well down the road for
oncoming traffic. - Question 28 of 96
28. Question
What is the main hazard you should be
aware of when following this cyclist?CorrectIncorrectHint
When following a cyclist be aware that they
have to deal with the hazards around them.
They may wobble or swerve to avoid a
pothole in the road or see a potential
hazard and change direction suddenly.
Don’t follow them too closely or rev your
engine impatiently. - Question 29 of 96
29. Question
A driver’s behaviour has upset you. It may
help if youCorrectIncorrectHint
Tiredness may make you more irritable
than you would be normally. You might
react differently to situations because of it.
If you feel yourself becoming tense, take a
break. - Question 30 of 96
30. Question
In areas where there are ‘traffic calming’
measures you shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
Traffic calming measures such as road
humps, chicanes and narrowings are
intended to slow you down. Maintain a
reduced speed until you reach the end of
these features. They are there to protect
pedestrians. Kill your speed! - Question 31 of 96
31. Question
When approaching this hazard why should
you slow down?CorrectIncorrectHint
There are two hazards clearly signed in this
picture. You should be preparing for the
bend by slowing down and selecting the
correct gear. You might also have to stop
at the level crossing, so be alert and be
prepared to stop if necessary. - Question 32 of 96
32. Question
Why are place names painted on the road
surface?CorrectIncorrectHint
The names of towns and cities may be
painted on the road at busy junctions and
complex road systems. Their purpose is to
let you move into the correct lane in good
time, allowing traffic to flow more freely. - Question 33 of 96
33. Question
Some two-way roads are divided into three
lanes. Why are these particularly
dangerous?CorrectIncorrectHint
If you intend to overtake you must consider
that approaching traffic could be planning
the same manoeuvre. When you have
considered the situation and have decided
it is safe, indicate your intentions early. This
will show the approaching traffic that you
intend to pull out. - Question 34 of 96
34. Question
You are on a dual carriageway. Ahead you
see a vehicle with an amber flashing light.
What could this be?CorrectIncorrectHint
An amber flashing light on a vehicle
indicates that it is slow-moving. Battery
powered vehicles used by disabled people
are limited to 8 mph. It’s not advisable for
them to be used on dual carriageways
where the speed limit exceeds 50 mph. If
they are then an amber flashing light must
be used. - Question 35 of 96
35. Question
What does this signal from a police officer
mean to oncoming traffic?CorrectIncorrectHint
Police officers may need to direct traffic, for
example, at a junction where the traffic
lights have broken down. Check your copy
of The Highway Code for the signals that
they use. - Question 36 of 96
36. Question
Why should you be especially cautious
when going past this stationary bus?CorrectIncorrectHint
A stationary bus at a bus stop can hide pedestrians just in front of it who might be about to cross the road. Only go past at a
speed that will enable you to stop safely if you need to. - Question 37 of 96
37. Question
Overtaking is a major cause of collisions. In
which THREE of these situations should you
NOT overtake?CorrectIncorrectHint
You should not overtake unless it is really
necessary. Arriving safely is more important
than taking risks. Also look out for road
signs and markings that show it is illegal or
would be unsafe to overtake. In many
cases overtaking is unlikely to significantly
improve journey times. - Question 38 of 96
38. Question
Which THREE result from drinking alcohol?
CorrectIncorrectHint
You must understand the serious dangers
of mixing alcohol with driving or riding.
Alcohol will severely reduce your ability to
drive or ride safely. Just one drink could put
you over the limit. Don’t risk people’s lives –
DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE OR RIDE! - Question 39 of 96
39. Question
What does the solid white line at the side of
the road indicate?CorrectIncorrectHint
The continuous white line shows the edge
of the carriageway. It can be especially
useful when visibility is restricted, for
example at night or in bad weather. It is
discontinued where it crosses junctions,
lay-bys etc. - Question 40 of 96
40. Question
You are driving towards this level crossing.
What would be the first warning of an
approaching train?
CorrectIncorrectHint
The steady amber light will be followed by
twin flashing red lights that mean you must
stop. An alarm will also sound to alert you
to the fact that a train is approaching. - Question 41 of 96
41. Question
You are behind this cyclist. When the traffic
lights change, what should you do?CorrectIncorrectHint
Hold back and allow the cyclist to move
off. In some towns, junctions have special
areas marked across the front of the traffic
lane. These allow cyclists to wait for the
lights to change and move off ahead of
other traffic. - Question 42 of 96
42. Question
While driving, you see this sign ahead. You
shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
Drive around the bend at a steady speed in
the correct gear. Be aware that you might
have to stop for approaching trains. - Question 43 of 96
43. Question
When the traffic lights change to green the
white car shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
If you are waiting at traffic lights, check all
around you before you move away, as
cyclists often filter through waiting traffic.
Allow the cyclist to move off safely. - Question 44 of 96
44. Question
You intend to turn left at the traffic lights.
Just before turning you should
CorrectIncorrectHint
Check your nearside for cyclists before
moving away. This is especially important if
you have been in a stationary queue of
traffic and are about to move off, as cyclists
often try to filter past on the nearside of
stationary vehicles. - Question 45 of 96
45. Question
You should reduce your speed when driving
along this road becauseCorrectIncorrectHint
Traffic could be turning off ahead of you, to
the left or right.
Vehicles turning left will be slowing down
before the junction and any vehicles turning
right may have to stop to allow oncoming
traffic to clear. Be prepared for this as you
might have to slow down or stop behind
them. - Question 46 of 96
46. Question
You are driving at 60 mph. As you approach
this hazard you shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
There could be stationary traffic ahead,
waiting to turn right. Other traffic could be
emerging and it may take time for them to
gather speed. - Question 47 of 96
47. Question
What might you expect to happen in this
situation?CorrectIncorrectHint
Be courteous and allow the traffic to merge
into the left-hand lane. - Question 48 of 96
48. Question
You are driving on a road with several lanes.
You see these signs above the lanes. What
do they mean?
CorrectIncorrectHint
If you see a red cross above your lane it
means that there is an obstruction ahead.
You will have to move into one of the lanes
which is showing the green light. If all the
lanes are showing a red cross, then you
must stop. - Question 49 of 96
49. Question
You are invited to a pub lunch. You know
that you will have to drive in the evening.
What is your best course of action?CorrectIncorrectHint
Alcohol will stay in the body for several
hours and may make you unfit to drive later
in the day. Drinking during the day will also
affect your performance at work or study. - Question 50 of 96
50. Question
You have been convicted of driving whilst
unfit through drink or drugs. You will find this
is likely to cause the cost of one of the
following to rise considerably. Which one?CorrectIncorrectHint
You have shown that you are a risk to
yourself and others on the road. For this
reason insurance companies may charge
you a higher premium. - Question 51 of 96
51. Question
What advice should you give to a driver who
has had a few alcoholic drinks at a party?CorrectIncorrectHint
Drinking black coffee or waiting a few hours
won’t make any difference. Alcohol takes
time to leave the body.
A driver who has been drinking should go
home by public transport or taxi. They
might even be unfit to drive the following
morning. - Question 52 of 96
52. Question
You have been taking medicine for a few
days which made you feel drowsy. Today
you feel better but still need to take the
medicine. You should only driveCorrectIncorrectHint
Take care – it’s not worth taking risks.

sure. You may not feel drowsy now, but the
medicine could have an effect on you later
in the day. - Question 53 of 96
53. Question
You are about to return home from holiday
when you become ill. A doctor prescribes
drugs which are likely to affect your driving.

Find another way to get home even if this
proves to be very inconvenient. You must
not put other road users, your passengers
or yourself at risk. - Question 54 of 96
54. Question
During periods of illness your ability to drive
may be impaired. You MUSTCorrectIncorrectHint
Be responsible and only drive if you are fit
to do so. Some medication can affect your
concentration and judgement when dealing
with hazards. It may also cause you to
become drowsy or even fall asleep. Driving
while taking such medication is highly
dangerous. - Question 55 of 96
55. Question
You feel drowsy when driving. You should
CorrectIncorrectHint
You will be putting other road users at risk
if you continue to drive when drowsy. Pull
over and stop in a safe place. If you are
driving a long distance, think about finding
some accommodation so you can get
some sleep before continuing your journey. - Question 56 of 96

likely to make you feel drowsy or impair
your judgement. - Question 58 of 96
58. Question
You are about to drive home. You feel very
tired and have a severe headache. You
shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
All your concentration should be on your
driving. Any pain you feel will distract you
and you should avoid driving when drowsy.
The safest course of action is to wait until
you have rested and feel better. - Question 59 of 96
59. Question
If you are feeling tired it is best to stop as
soon as you can. Until then you shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
If you’re going on a long journey plan your
route before you leave. This will help you to
be decisive at intersections and junctions,
plan rest stops and have an idea of how
long the journey will take.
Make sure your vehicle is well-ventilated to
stop you becoming drowsy. You need to
maintain concentration so that your
judgement is not impaired. - Question 60 of 96
60. Question
Driving long distances can be tiring. You can
prevent this byCorrectIncorrectHint
Long-distance driving can be boring. This,
coupled with a stuffy, warm vehicle, can
make you feel tired. Make sure you take
rest breaks to keep yourself awake and
alert. Stop in a safe place before you get to
the stage of fighting sleep. - Question 61 of 96
61. Question
You go to a social event and need to drive a
short time after. What precaution should you
take?CorrectIncorrectHint
This is always going to be the safest
option. Just one drink could put you over
the limit and dangerously impair your
judgement and reactions. - Question 62 of 96
62. Question
You take some cough medicine given to you
by a friend. What should you do before
driving?CorrectIncorrectHint

without first checking what the side effects
might be. They might affect your judgement
and perception, and therefore endanger
lives. - Question 63 of 96
63. Question
You take the wrong route and find you are
on a one-way street. You should

the direction signs as you drive. If you need
to check a map, first stop in a safe place. - Question 64 of 96
64. Question
Which THREE are likely to make you lose
concentration while driving?CorrectIncorrectHint
Looking at road maps while driving is very
dangerous. If you aren’t sure of your route
stop in a safe place and check the map.
You must not allow anything to take your
attention away from the road.
If you need to use a mobile phone, stop in
a safe place before doing so. - Question 65 of 96
65. Question
You are driving along this road. The driver
on the left is reversing from a driveway. You
shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
White lights at the rear of a car show that it
is about to reverse. Sound your horn to
warn of your presence and reduce your
speed as a precaution. - Question 66 of 96

by drivers falling asleep at the wheel. - Question 68 of 96
68. Question
You are driving on this dual carriageway.
Why may you need to slow down?CorrectIncorrectHint
Look well ahead and read any road signs
as you drive. They are there to inform you
of what is ahead. In this case you may
need to slow right down and change
direction.
Make sure you can take whatever action is
necessary in plenty of time. Check your
mirrors so you know what is happening
around you before you change speed or
direction. - Question 69 of 96
69. Question
You have just been overtaken by this
motorcyclist who is cutting in sharply. You
shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
If another vehicle cuts in too sharply, ease
off the accelerator and drop back to allow

overreact by braking sharply or swerving,
as you could lose control. If vehicles behind
you are too close or unprepared, it could
lead to a crash. - Question 70 of 96
70. Question
You are about to drive home. You cannot
find the glasses you need to wear. You
shouldCorrectIncorrectHint
Don’t be tempted to drive if you’ve lost or
forgotten your glasses. You must be able to
see clearly when driving. - Question 71 of 96
71. Question
Which THREE of these are likely effects of
drinking alcohol?CorrectIncorrectHint

where a driver’s behaviour might become
‘out of character’. Someone who normally
behaves sensibly suddenly takes risks and
enjoys it. Never let yourself or your friends
get into this situation. - Question 72 of 96
72. Question
How does alcohol affect you?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Concentration and good judgement are
needed at all times to be a good, safe
driver. Don’t put yourself or others at risk

73. Question
Your doctor has given you a course of
medicine. Why should you ask how it will
affect you?CorrectIncorrectHint
