Stop and call for assistance
-
Carry on to the next exit
-

Correct Answer

If you go past the exit that you wanted to take, the correct thing to do is to carry on to the next exit. It is unsafe to stop or reverse on a motorway, as it can cause accidents and disrupt the flow of traffic. Continuing to the next exit will allow you to safely exit the motorway and find an alternative route to your destination.Rate this question:

You're driving along a country road. A horse and rider are approaching. What should you do?
-
Beep your horn
-
Speed up to get past them as quickly as possible
-
Drive slowly past
Correct Answer
A. Drive slowly pastExplanation
When encountering a horse and rider on a country road, it is important to drive slowly past them. Horses can be easily startled by sudden movements or loud noises, such as a horn beep or a car speeding past. By driving slowly, you reduce the risk of spooking the horse and potentially causing an accident. This allows the horse and rider to pass safely without any disturbance.Rate this question:

You're in collision with another moving vehicle. Someone is injured and your vehicle is damaged. What information should you find out?
-
The other driver’s name, address and telephone number
-
The occupation of the other driver
-
Whether the other driver is licensed to drive
Correct Answer
A. The other driver’s name, address and telephone numberExplanation
In the event of a collision with another moving vehicle where someone is injured and your vehicle is damaged, it is important to obtain the other driver's name, address, and telephone number. This information is crucial for insurance purposes and to establish contact for any further legal or financial matters that may arise from the incident. Knowing the other driver's occupation or whether they are licensed to drive may not be as immediately relevant in this situation.Rate this question:

You are driving on a motorway. You have to slow down quickly due to a hazard. You should ...
-
Beep your horn to see if you can make other motorists clear a path for you
-
Switch on your hazard warning lights
-
Use the hard shoulder to speed round the hazard
Correct Answer
A. Switch on your hazard warning lightsExplanation
Switching on your hazard warning lights is the correct answer in this situation because it alerts other motorists that there is a hazard ahead. This can help to warn them to slow down and be cautious, allowing you to slow down safely without causing a collision. Beeping your horn may not be effective in clearing a path for you and using the hard shoulder to speed around the hazard is illegal and dangerous.Rate this question:

You are turning left at a junction. Pedestrians have started to cross the road. You should ...
-
Beep your horn to alert them to your presence and continue turning
-
Continue as it is your right of way
-
Give way to them
Correct Answer
A. Give way to themExplanation
When turning left at a junction and pedestrians have started to cross the road, the correct action is to give way to them. This is because pedestrians have the right of way, and it is important to prioritize their safety. Beeping the horn may startle or confuse pedestrians, and continuing without giving way would be inconsiderate and potentially dangerous. Therefore, the appropriate course of action is to wait for pedestrians to cross before proceeding with the left turn.Rate this question:

You are taking drugs that are likely to affect your driving. What should you do?
-
Seek medical advice before driving
-
Drive anyway if you feel fine
-
Only drive for short distances
Correct Answer
A. Seek medical advice before drivingExplanation
When taking drugs that are likely to affect your driving, seeking medical advice before driving is the correct course of action. This is important because certain medications can impair your ability to drive safely, causing drowsiness, dizziness, or other side effects that can increase the risk of accidents. Consulting with a medical professional will help determine whether it is safe for you to drive while taking the medication and whether any precautions need to be taken. It is crucial to prioritize safety on the road and follow medical advice to prevent any potential harm to yourself or others.Rate this question:

You are driving on a clear night. There is a steady stream of oncoming traffic. The national speed limit applies. Which lights should you use?
-
Full beam headlights
-
Dipped headlights
-
No lights
Correct Answer
A. Dipped headlightsExplanation
When driving on a clear night with a steady stream of oncoming traffic, it is important to use dipped headlights. Dipped headlights provide adequate lighting for the driver without causing glare or discomfort to other drivers on the road. Using full beam headlights in this situation would create unnecessary glare and could potentially blind other drivers, while driving with no lights would make it difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. Therefore, using dipped headlights is the appropriate choice in this scenario.Rate this question:

You are carrying two 13-year-old children and their parents in your car. Who is responsible for seeing that the children wear seat belts?
-
The driver
-
The parents
-
The child because they are older than 10
Correct Answer
A. The driverExplanation
The driver is responsible for ensuring that the children wear seat belts because they are the ones operating the car and have a duty to ensure the safety of all passengers. While the parents may also have a responsibility to encourage their children to wear seat belts, ultimately it is the driver's responsibility to enforce this safety measure. The age of the children is not relevant in determining who is responsible for their safety in the car.Rate this question:

What should you do when parking your vehicle facing downhill?
-
Make sure the steering wheel is straight
-
Turn the steering wheel out towards the middle of the road
-
Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb
Correct Answer
A. Turn the steering wheel towards the kerbExplanation
When parking your vehicle facing downhill, it is important to turn the steering wheel towards the kerb. This is done to prevent the vehicle from rolling into the road in case the parking brake fails. By turning the steering wheel towards the kerb, the front wheels will be positioned against the kerb, acting as a barrier and reducing the likelihood of the vehicle rolling downhill.Rate this question:

You are driving in heavy rain. Your steering suddenly becomes very light. You should ...
-
Ease off the accelerator
-
Brake sharply
-
Steer in the opposite direction
Correct Answer
A. Ease off the acceleratorExplanation
When driving in heavy rain, if the steering suddenly becomes very light, it indicates that the tires may be losing traction due to hydroplaning. In this situation, braking sharply or steering in the opposite direction can worsen the loss of control. By easing off the accelerator, you can reduce the speed and allow the tires to regain traction, helping you maintain control of the vehicle.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. To get into a propertyExplanation
You can drive over a footpath when you need to access a property. This could be when there is a driveway or entrance that requires you to drive over the footpath in order to reach the property. It is important to note that driving over a footpath should only be done in these specific circumstances and with caution, as it is generally not allowed and can be considered illegal or unsafe.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Use the emergency telephone and call for helpExplanation
In the given scenario, the correct answer is to use the emergency telephone and call for help. This is the safest option as it ensures that professional assistance is on the way to handle the puncture. Attempting to change the tyre quickly on the motorway can be dangerous and may lead to accidents.

It is important for the supervisor to have a certain level of responsibility and judgment to ensure the safety of both the learner driver and other road users.

You have broken down on a two-way road. You have a warning triangle. You should place the warning triangle at least how far from your vehicle?
-
45 metres
-
10 metres
-
40 metres
Correct Answer
A. 45 metresExplanation
When you have broken down on a two-way road and have a warning triangle, you should place it at least 45 meters away from your vehicle. This distance is necessary to give other drivers enough time to see the warning triangle and adjust their speed or change lanes accordingly. Placing the triangle too close to your vehicle may not provide enough warning to approaching drivers, increasing the risk of accidents.Rate this question:
