C. When the vehicle has it's left signals on and is about to turn left. But only without going off the shoulder of the road.Explanation
You are permitted to pass a vehicle on the right when the vehicle has its left signals on and is about to turn left, but only without going off the shoulder of the road. This means that you can pass the vehicle on the right side as long as you stay within the boundaries of the road and do not drive off onto the shoulder. This maneuver is allowed to ensure smooth traffic flow and prevent congestion when a vehicle is preparing to make a left turn.Rate this question:

How fast are you permitted to go in an urban area?
- A.
100km/h
- B.
80km/h
- C.
60km/h
- D.
50km/h
Correct Answer
D. 50km/hExplanation
In an urban area, the speed limit is typically lower than on highways or rural roads. This is because urban areas are more congested and have more pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles sharing the road. The speed limit of 50km/h is a common restriction in urban areas to ensure the safety of all road users. It allows drivers to have enough time to react to unexpected situations, reduces the severity of accidents, and promotes a smoother flow of traffic. Going faster than the speed limit in an urban area can increase the risk of accidents and endanger the lives of others.Rate this question:

In a rural area, the permitted speed limit is usually higher compared to urban areas due to less congestion and lower population density. The correct answer of 80km/h indicates that drivers are allowed to drive at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour in rural areas. This speed limit allows for faster travel while still maintaining safety on the roads.Rate this question:

Stopping any less than 5 metres away from the bus allows for enough space for the bus to safely pick up or drop off passengers without any obstructions or potential accidents. This distance also ensures that the driver has a clear view of the road and any potential hazards.Rate this question:
