1. The routine you need to remember for emerging is MSPSL. What does MSPSL stand for?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Mirrors, Signal, Position, Speed, Look." This routine is used for emerging, which means coming out onto the road from a parked position or a side road. It is important to check the mirrors to be aware of any approaching vehicles, signal to indicate your intention, position the car correctly in the road, check for a safe gap in traffic to adjust your speed, and look for any hazards before proceeding.

2. On approach to the end of the road you notice that there is no way you can tell what is happening in either direction of the new road due to high hedges and parked cars.  Which gear will you be expected to arrive in?

Explanation

In this situation the likelyhood of you stopping at the end of the road is very high, so preempt this by dipping the clutch and rolling up in 1st gear at around 5mph.

Submit
3. On approach to the end of the road, you notice that the visibility is very good and you can see that there are no cars in either direction.  Which gear would you be expected to be in for this situation?

Explanation

In 2nd gear you can still get your cars speed down low enough to make the turn safely and the car will respond when you need to accelerate away in the new road.

Submit
4. How many times do you need to look left and right before emerging?

Explanation

The correct answer is "As many times as is necessary." When emerging, it is essential to ensure that there are no oncoming vehicles or pedestrians from both the left and right directions. The number of times one needs to look left and right may vary depending on the specific situation, such as the speed and distance of approaching vehicles or the presence of any obstacles. Therefore, it is crucial to look as many times as needed to ensure a safe emergence.

5. How far from the kerb should your car be when turning to the left?

Explanation

Any closer and you run the risk of the back wheels cutting in and mounting the kerb.

Submit
6. Once you have emerged into the new road what is the last thing you have to do?

Explanation

You should be checking your mirror after sorting yourself out. Get up to speed, into the correct gear then have a look to see what is behind you.

Submit
7. When turning right, where should you position your car?

Explanation

In this position you would then allow other road users to turn left at the end of the road too.

Submit
8. When turning right at the end of the road, at which angle should the wheels be positioned?

Explanation

You want to keep them straight so when you emerge you get across the road before making your turn. Turing too early would result in being on the wrong side of the road.

Submit
9. What is the danger of signalling too soon?

Explanation

The time of the signal is important. Signalling too early with other side roads present before the end of the road could result in an instant fail. Other road users would be lead to think you are taking the side road and pull out infront of you.

Submit
10. When trying to emerge you want arrive at the give way lines and find it hard to see if there is any oncoming traffic coming from the right.  Do you ...

Explanation
