     When should cruise control be used?

    • On flat, dry roads with light traffic

    • Any fast moving road

    • On any road conditions

    • Going up hills

    Correct Answer
    A. On flat, dry roads with light traffic
    Explanation
    Cruise control should be used on flat, dry roads with light traffic because it helps maintain a constant speed, which can be more efficient and comfortable for the driver. On roads with hills or varying conditions, it may be necessary for the driver to manually adjust the speed and control the vehicle accordingly. Additionally, using cruise control on roads with heavy traffic or poor weather conditions may not be safe as it limits the driver's ability to quickly react and adjust the speed as needed.

    You're approaching a traffic light that's been green for a while. What should you do?

    • Continue at current speed

    • Approach with caution at a speed you can safely stop at

    • Speed up

    • Slow down

    Correct Answer
    A. Approach with caution at a speed you can safely stop at
    Explanation
    When approaching a traffic light that has been green for a while, it is important to approach with caution at a speed you can safely stop at. This is because the light may change to yellow or red at any moment, and it is necessary to be prepared to stop if needed. Speeding up would be unsafe as it may not allow enough time to stop if the light changes, and continuing at the current speed without caution may also lead to a potential accident. Slowing down allows for better control and reaction time in case the light changes.

    An emergency vehicle is approaching you from behind with lights flashing and siren blaring; what should you do?

    • Keep driving so you can stay ahead of them

    • Nothing; it’s their responsibility to go around you

    • Move to the right lane and keep driving

    • Pull over and stop

    Correct Answer
    A. Pull over and stop
    Explanation
    When an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind with lights flashing and siren blaring, it is important to pull over and stop. This allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely and quickly, as they may be responding to a critical situation. By pulling over and stopping, you are ensuring that you are not obstructing their path and potentially delaying their response time. It is crucial to prioritize the safety and urgency of the emergency vehicle over your own convenience.

    What’s the best way to drive near cyclists?

    • Slow down while passing them

    • Honk the horn to warn them

    • Change lanes completely well before you reach them

    • Stay behind them until they turn off the road

    Correct Answer
    A. Change lanes completely well before you reach them
    Explanation
    The best way to drive near cyclists is to change lanes completely well before you reach them. This ensures a safe distance between the vehicle and the cyclists, reducing the risk of accidents or collisions. By changing lanes early, you give both yourself and the cyclists enough space and time to maneuver safely on the road. This approach promotes mutual respect and consideration between drivers and cyclists, making the roads safer for everyone.

    When approaching an all-way stop, with the choices given below, who should be given the right of way?

    • The driver on the right goes first

    • The driver to the left goes first

    • The driver whose going straight goes first

    • The largest vehicle goes first

    Correct Answer
    A. The driver on the right goes first
    Explanation
    When approaching an all-way stop, the driver on the right has the right of way. This means that if two or more vehicles arrive at the stop sign at the same time, the driver on the right should proceed first. This rule promotes a consistent and orderly flow of traffic at intersections. It helps to prevent confusion and potential accidents by establishing a clear hierarchy for determining who should have priority.

    At a pelican crossing, what does the flashing green man mean?

    • Do not cross

    • Cross with care

    • Cross

    • Don't Know 

    Correct Answer
    A. Do not cross
    Explanation
    The flashing green man at a pelican crossing indicates that pedestrians should not cross the road. It serves as a warning that it is not safe to proceed and that they should wait for the green man to become steady before crossing. This flashing signal is typically used to alert pedestrians that the traffic lights are about to change and that it is not the appropriate time to cross.

    What’s the distance you must stop behind a school bus when it has their red lights alternately flashing and the stop arm out?

    •  6 metres

    • 30 metres

    • 12 metres

    • 20 metres

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 metres
    Explanation
    When a school bus has its red lights alternately flashing and the stop arm out, it indicates that children are getting on or off the bus. The distance you must stop behind the school bus in this situation is 20 metres. This distance ensures the safety of the children and allows them to cross the road without any danger from passing vehicles.
