    When parking uphill, with a curb in which direction do you turn your wheels?

    • Left

    • Right

    Correct Answer
    A. Left
    Explanation
    When parking uphill with a curb, you should turn your wheels to the left. This is because turning your wheels to the left allows them to roll away from the curb if the brakes fail, preventing the vehicle from rolling downhill. Turning the wheels to the right could cause the vehicle to roll into the curb, potentially causing damage.

    How fast are you permitted to go in an urban area?

    • 100km/h

    • 80km/h

    • 60km/h

    • 50km/h

    Correct Answer
    A. 50km/h
    Explanation
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • 10 metres

    • 6 metres

    • 5 metres

    • 2 metres

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 metres
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5 metres. This is the closest distance you may park when by a fire hydrant. Parking any closer than 5 metres to a fire hydrant may obstruct access to it, which is crucial for firefighters during emergencies.

  • 6. 

    When parking uphill, without a curb in which direction do you turn your wheels?

    • Left

    • Right

    Correct Answer
    A. Right
    Explanation
    When parking uphill without a curb, you should turn your wheels to the right. This is because, in the event that your vehicle starts to roll downhill, the right-turn position of the wheels will cause the vehicle to roll into the curb or away from the road, reducing the chances of it rolling into traffic. By turning the wheels to the right, you create a safety measure to prevent the vehicle from rolling downhill.

    When behind a bus with flashing lights, never stop any less than ____metres away.

    • 5 metres

    • 8 metres

    • 10 metres

    • 15 metres

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 metres
    Explanation
    When behind a bus with flashing lights, it is important to maintain a safe distance to ensure the safety of both the passengers on the bus and other vehicles on the road. 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.

    How fast are you permitted to drive in a rural area?

    • 100km/h

    • 80km/h

    • 60km/h

    • 50km/h

    Correct Answer
    A. 80km/h
    Explanation
    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.

  • 9. 

    How far must your vehicles horn be heard?

    • 100m

    • 80m

    • 60m

    • 40m

    Correct Answer
    A. 60m
    Explanation
    The vehicle's horn must be heard up to a distance of 60m. This is important for safety purposes as it allows other road users to be alerted to the presence of the vehicle, especially in situations where visibility may be limited. By ensuring that the horn can be heard at this distance, it helps to prevent accidents and allows for better communication between drivers on the road.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

     When parking downhill, without a curb in which direction do you turn your wheels?

    • Left

    • Right

    Correct Answer
    A. Right
    Explanation
    When parking downhill without a curb, you should turn your wheels to the right. This is because if the vehicle were to roll downhill, it would roll away from the road and into an open space, reducing the risk of it rolling into traffic or causing an accident. Turning the wheels to the right also creates a physical barrier that helps prevent the vehicle from rolling in the wrong direction.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    How many car lengths must you be behind another moving vehicle infront of you?

    • 1car per 1km

    • 1car per 2km

    • 2cars per 1km

    • 2cars per 2km

    Correct Answer
    A. 2cars per 1km
    Explanation
    To maintain a safe distance behind another moving vehicle, you should be at least two car lengths behind per every one kilometer of distance. This ensures that you have enough space to react to any sudden changes in the vehicle's speed or direction, reducing the risk of a collision. Being two car lengths behind per one kilometer allows for a safe following distance and provides enough time to brake or change lanes if necessary.

    Rate this question:

  • 12.

    Correct Answer
    A. October 15th - April 30th
    Explanation
    Studded tires are permitted between October 15th and April 30th. This means that drivers are allowed to use studded tires on their vehicles during this time period.
