    You may stop on a motorway only

    • To let down or pick up passengers

    • To make a U-turn

    • If there is an emergency

    • To stop and take a photo

    Correct Answer
    A. If there is an emergency
    Explanation
    On a motorway, stopping is generally prohibited unless there is an emergency. This is because motorways are designed for high-speed traffic and sudden stops can be extremely dangerous. In the event of an emergency, such as a breakdown or a medical issue, it may be necessary to stop on the motorway to ensure safety and seek assistance. However, stopping for any other reason, such as picking up passengers or taking a photo, is not allowed on a motorway.

    If you miss your exit on a motorway, you should:

    • Drive on to the next exit

    • Make a U-turn back to the exit

    • Reverse back to the exit

    Correct Answer
    A. Drive on to the next exit
    Explanation
    If you miss your exit on a motorway, the safest and recommended course of action is to drive on to the next exit. Making a U-turn or reversing back to the exit can be dangerous and against traffic regulations. Driving on to the next exit allows you to safely exit the motorway and find an alternative route to your destination.

    What must you do when red lights are flashing at a railway level crossing?

    • Drive over the lines as soon as the train has passed.

    • Slow down and then drive over the lines

    • Stop until the lights stop flashing

    • Stop and if no train is coming, you may drive over the lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Stop until the lights stop flashing
    Explanation
    When red lights are flashing at a railway level crossing, it is important to stop until the lights stop flashing. This is because the flashing lights indicate that a train is approaching or already crossing the intersection, and it is necessary to wait until it is safe to proceed. Failing to stop can lead to a collision with the train, endangering both the driver and the passengers. Therefore, it is crucial to follow the instructions given by the flashing lights and wait until they stop before driving over the railway lines.

    When passing a horse and rider, you should:

    • Warn the rider by sounding the horn on your vehicle

    • Slow down and give them as much room as you can

    • Speed up

    • Warn the rider by turning your vehicle headlights on

    Correct Answer
    A. Slow down and give them as much room as you can
    Explanation
    When passing a horse and rider, it is important to slow down and give them as much room as possible. Horses can be easily startled by loud noises, so sounding the horn on your vehicle or turning on your headlights may startle the horse and potentially cause an accident. By slowing down and giving them space, you reduce the risk of spooking the horse and ensure the safety of both the rider and yourself.

    • Move as far to the left side of the road as is safe

    Correct Answer
    A. Move as far to the left side of the road as is safe
    Explanation
    If the vehicle behind you wishes to pass, you should move as far to the left side of the road as is safe. This allows the other vehicle to have enough space to overtake you safely. It is important to create a clear path for the vehicle behind you to pass, ensuring the safety of both drivers.

    You wish to move your vehicle out of a parking space into the traffic flow. what must you do before you move? 

    • Flash your vehicle indicators for 1 seconds

    • Signal your vehicle indicators for at least 3 seconds

    • Turn on your vehicle parking lights

    • Use your vehicle stop lights

    Correct Answer
    A. Signal your vehicle indicators for at least 3 seconds
    Explanation
    Before moving your vehicle out of a parking space into the traffic flow, it is necessary to signal your vehicle indicators for at least 3 seconds. This is important to inform other drivers of your intention to move and to ensure their safety. Flashing the indicators for a short duration may not provide enough time for other drivers to react and can lead to accidents. Turning on the parking lights or using the stop lights are not sufficient signals for indicating your intention to move.

    • Check the driveway is clear and enter

    Correct Answer
    A. Signal for 3 seconds or more and if the driveway is clear, enter
    Explanation
    When turning left into a driveway, it is important to slow down and signal for at least 3 seconds before entering, as long as the driveway is clear. This is to inform other drivers of your intention to turn and give them enough time to react. Checking that the driveway is clear ensures that it is safe to enter without obstructing any oncoming traffic.

    Correct Answer
    A. 100 metres
    Explanation
    According to road safety regulations, it is mandatory to turn on your vehicle headlights when visibility is less than 100 meters. This is because during low visibility conditions, such as fog, rain, or darkness, it becomes difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. By having your headlights on, you increase your visibility on the road, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of yourself and other drivers.

    • Speed up and signal as you move to the left

    • Signal for at least 3 seconds before moving left

    • Slow down and signal as you move to the left

    Correct Answer
    A. Signal for at least 3 seconds before moving left
    Explanation
    When intending to move from the right-hand lane to the left-hand lane, it is necessary to signal for at least 3 seconds before making the move. Signaling in advance allows other drivers to be aware of your intention and adjust their driving accordingly, reducing the risk of collisions. This gives drivers in the left-hand lane enough time to anticipate your movement and make space for you to merge safely. It is important to signal for an adequate duration to ensure clear communication with other drivers on the road.

    • Signal for 2 seconds

    • Signal for 3 seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. Signal for 3 seconds
    Explanation
    When changing lanes, it is important to signal for 3 seconds. This gives other drivers enough time to be aware of your intention to change lanes and adjust their speed or position accordingly. Signaling for a shorter duration may not provide enough time for other drivers to react, potentially leading to accidents or confusion on the road. It is crucial to communicate your intentions clearly and in advance to ensure the safety of yourself and other road users.

    • Flick your vehicle lights and wave your arm

    • Slow down, move to the left and allow the vehicle to pass

    Correct Answer
    A. Slow down, move to the left and allow the vehicle to pass
    Explanation
    When another vehicle is following you very closely, it is important to prioritize safety. By slowing down, moving to the left, and allowing the vehicle to pass, you create space between your vehicle and the one behind you, reducing the risk of a rear-end collision. This action also allows the other driver to pass safely and maintain a safe following distance.

    You are required to undergo a breath screening test when requested by:

    • An ambulance officer

    • A doctor

    • A member of the public

    • A police officer

    Correct Answer
    A. A police officer
    Explanation
    In many jurisdictions, police officers have the authority to request a breath screening test to determine if a person is driving under the influence of alcohol. This is because driving under the influence poses a significant risk to public safety. Breath screening tests are a quick and non-invasive way to measure a person's blood alcohol concentration. By allowing police officers to conduct these tests, it helps enforce laws against drunk driving and protect the welfare of the general public.
