Each time you start this practice test you'll get 14 random questions from the real test including give-way questions and multiple choice questions - so keep practising. Place it at least 45 metres feet behind your vehicle or the incident , on the same side of the road or verge. Place it further back if the scene is hidden by, for example, a bend, hill or dip in the road. Don't use warning triangles on motorways. Your car breaks down on a level crossing.
What's the first thing you should do? Correct Answer: A Leave your vehicle and get everyone clear Explanation: If your vehicle breaks down on a level crossing, your first priority is to get everyone out of the vehicle and clear of the crossing. Then use the railway telephone, if there is one, to tell the signal operator. If you have time before the train arrives, move the vehicle clear of the crossing, but only do this if the alarm signals aren't activated.
How can you avoid wasting fuel? Correct Answer: B By having your vehicle serviced regularly Explanation: If you don't have your vehicle serviced regularly, the engine will gradually become less efficient. This will cause increased fuel consumption and, in turn, an increase in the amount of harmful emissions it produces. You're driving on a one-way street.
What should you do if you realise you've taken the wrong route? Correct Answer: A Continue and find another route Explanation: Never reverse or turn your vehicle around in a one-way street. It's illegal and could even cause a collision. If you've taken a wrong turn, carry on along the one-way street and find another route, checking the direction signs as you drive.
Stop in a safe place if you need to check a map. Your vehicle has broken down on a motorway. What should you do if you aren't able to get onto the hard shoulder? Correct Answer: D Switch on your hazard warning lights Explanation: If you can't get your vehicle onto the hard shoulder, use your hazard warning lights to warn others.
Leave your vehicle only when you can safely get clear of the carriageway. Don't try to repair the vehicle or attempt to place any warning device on the carriageway. Who's responsible for paying the vehicle tax? Correct Answer: D The registered keeper of the vehicle Explanation: The registered keeper of the vehicle is responsible for paying the vehicle tax or making a Statutory Off-Road Notification SORN if the vehicle is to be kept untaxed and off the road.
They need to know if you have a medical condition that might affect your ability to drive safely. You must tell them if your health deteriorates and you become unfit to drive. Why are vehicles fitted with rear fog lights? Correct Answer: A To make them more visible in thick fog Explanation: Rear fog lights make it easier to spot a vehicle ahead in foggy conditions.
Avoid the temptation to use other vehicles' lights as a guide, as they may give you a false sense of security. Why should you try and park in a secure car park? Correct Answer: B It helps deter thieves Explanation: Whenever possible, leave your car in a secure car park.
This will help deter thieves. Other than direction indicators, how can you give signals to other road users? Correct Answer: A By using brake lights Explanation: Your brake lights will give an indication to traffic behind that you're slowing down. Good anticipation will allow you time to check your mirrors before slowing.
How can you help to prevent your car radio being stolen? Correct Answer: A Install a security-coded radio Explanation: A security-coded radio can deter thieves, as it's likely to be of little use when removed from the vehicle. You're driving on an open road in dry weather. What distance should you keep from the vehicle in front? Correct Answer: A A two-second time gap Explanation: One way of checking there's a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front is to use the two-second rule.
To check for a two-second time gap, choose a stationary object ahead, such as a bridge or road sign. When the car in front passes the object, say 'Only a fool breaks the two-second rule'. If you reach the object before you finish saying the phrase, you're too close and need to increase the gap. Why is it dangerous to leave rear fog lights switched on after the fog has cleared? Correct Answer: D They may be confused with brake lights Explanation: If your rear fog lights are left on when it isn't foggy, the glare they cause makes it difficult for road users behind to know whether you're braking or you've just forgotten to turn off your rear fog lights.
This can be a particular problem on wet roads and on motorways. If you leave your rear fog lights on at night, road users behind you are likely to be dazzled and this could put them at risk. Where should you park your vehicle at night? Correct Answer: B In a well-lit area Explanation: When you're parking at night, park in a well-lit area. This can help deter criminals from targeting your vehicle. When are you allowed to park in a parking bay for disabled drivers?
The badge must be displayed on the dashboard or facia panel, where it can be clearly read through the front windscreen. What should you do first if your vehicle has broken down on an automatic railway level crossing? Correct Answer: A Get everyone out of the vehicle and clear of the crossing Explanation: First, get yourself and anyone else well away from the crossing. If there's a railway telephone, use that to get instructions from the signal operator.
Then, if there's time, move the vehicle clear of the crossing. What should you do when you're overtaking a motorcyclist on a windy day? Correct Answer: D Pass widely Explanation: In strong winds, riders of two-wheeled vehicles are particularly vulnerable.
When you overtake them, allow plenty of room. Check to the left as you pass to make sure they're safe. What does 'tailgating' mean? Correct Answer: B Following another vehicle too closely Explanation: 'Tailgating' is the term used when a driver or rider follows the vehicle in front too closely.
It's dangerous because it restricts their view of the road ahead and leaves no safety margin if the vehicle in front needs to slow down or stop suddenly.
Tailgating is often the underlying cause of rear-end collisions or multiple pile-ups. What should the driver of the grey car arrowed be especially aware of?
Correct Answer: A Doors opening on parked cars Explanation: When passing parked cars, there's a risk that a driver or passenger may not check before opening the door into the road.
A defensive driver will drive slowly and be looking for people who may be about to get out of their car. Why must you take extra care when turning right at this junction? Correct Answer: D The view is restricted Explanation: 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. How will a school crossing patrol signal you to stop?
Correct Answer: A By displaying a 'stop' sign Explanation: 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. What should you do when you see two elderly pedestrians about to cross the road ahead?
Correct Answer: A Be careful; they may misjudge your speed Explanation: 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. You're following a long vehicle. As it approaches a crossroads, it signals left but moves out to the right.
What should you do? Correct Answer: D Stay well back and give it room Explanation: A long vehicle may need to swing out in the opposite direction as it approaches a turn, to allow the rear wheels to clear the kerb. Don't try to filter through if you see a gap; as the lorry turns, the gap will close. You break down on a motorway. You need to call for help.
Why may it be better to use an emergency roadside telephone rather than a mobile phone? Correct Answer: A It allows easy location by the emergency services Explanation: On a motorway, it's best to use a roadside emergency telephone so that the emergency services are able to find you easily. The location of the nearest telephone is shown by an arrow on marker posts at the edge of the hard shoulder.
If you use a mobile, the operator will need to know your exact location. Before you call, find out the number on the nearest marker post. This number will identify your exact location. On which part of a motorway are amber reflective studs found? Correct Answer: C Between the central reservation and the carriageway Explanation: On motorways, reflective studs of various colours are fixed in the road between the lanes.
These help you to identify which lane you're in when it's dark or in poor visibility. Amber-coloured studs are found on the right-hand edge of the main carriageway, next to the central reservation. What's the national speed limit for cars and motorcycles on a dual carriageway? Correct Answer: D 70 mph Explanation: Make sure that you know the speed limit for the road that you're on. The speed limit on a dual carriageway or motorway is 70 mph for cars and motorcycles, unless signs indicate otherwise.
The speed limits for different types of vehicle are listed in The Highway Code. There are no speed-limit signs on the road. How is a 30 mph limit indicated? Correct Answer: D By street lighting Explanation: There's a 30 mph speed limit where there are street lights unless signs show another limit. When may you stop and wait in a box junction? Correct Answer: A When oncoming traffic prevents you from turning right Explanation: The purpose of yellow box markings is to keep junctions clear of queuing traffic.
You may only wait in the marked area when you're turning right and your exit lane is clear but you can't complete the turn because of oncoming traffic or other traffic waiting to turning right.
If you don't usually drive in a town where there are trams, remember to look out for them at junctions and look for tram rails, signs and signals. Where would you see these road markings? Correct Answer: C On a motorway slip road Explanation: When driving on a motorway or slip road, you mustn't enter an area marked with chevrons and bordered by a solid white line for any reason, except in an emergency. Correct Answer: C Right-hand lane closed ahead Explanation: You should change lanes as directed by the sign.
Here, the right-hand lane is closed but the left-hand and centre lanes are available. Merging in turn is recommended when it's safe and traffic is going slowly; for example, at roadworks or a road traffic incident. When vehicles are travelling at speed, this isn't advisable and you should move into the appropriate lane in good time. You see a car on the hard shoulder of a motorway with a 'help' pennant displayed.
What does this mean? Correct Answer: D The driver is likely to be a disabled person Explanation: If a disabled driver's vehicle breaks down and they're unable to walk to an emergency phone, they're advised to stay in their car and switch on the hazard warning lights.
They may also display a 'help' pennant in their vehicle. You're signalling to turn right in busy traffic. How would you confirm your intention safely? Correct Answer: B Give an arm signal Explanation: In some situations, you may feel your indicators can't be seen by other road users. If you think you need to make your intention more obvious, give the arm signal shown in The Highway Code. You're on a three-lane motorway. There are red reflective studs on your left and white ones to your right.
Which lane are you in? You're travelling on a road that has speed humps. What should you do when the driver in front is travelling more slowly than you?
Correct Answer: C Slow down and stay behind Explanation: Be patient and stay behind the car in front. You shouldn't normally overtake other vehicles in areas subject to traffic calming. If you overtake here, you may easily exceed the speed limit, defeating the purpose of the traffic-calming measures. The fluid level in your battery is low. What should you top it up with? Check your vehicle handbook and, if necessary, make sure that the plates in each battery cell are covered with fluid.
You're approaching a crossroads. The traffic lights have failed. Correct Answer: B Be prepared to stop for any traffic Explanation: 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.
You're in a line of traffic. The driver behind you is following very closely. What action should you take? Correct Answer: D Slow down, gradually increasing the gap between you and the vehicle in front Explanation: If the driver behind is following too closely, there's a danger they'll collide with the back of your car if you stop suddenly.
You can reduce this risk by slowing down and increasing the safety margin in front of you. This reduces the chance that you'll have to stop suddenly and allows you to spread your braking over a greater distance. This is an example of defensive driving. What does this signal mean? The green light shows that other vehicles can go if the way is clear.
Trams are being introduced into more cities, so you're likely to come across them and you should learn which signs apply to them. What must you do when you see this sign? Correct Answer: A Stop even if the road is clear Explanation: Stop' signs are situated at junctions where visibility is restricted or where there's heavy traffic.
They must be obeyed: you must stop. Take good all-round observation before moving off. Before starting a journey, it's wise to plan your route.
How can you do this? Correct Answer: C Look at a map Explanation: Planning your journey before you set out can help to make it much easier and more pleasant, and may help to ease traffic congestion.
Look at a map to help you do this. A failed mandatory re-test will require a re-exam fee be collected at the next exam attempt.
