Practice Test 19

You're driving in traffic at the speed limit for the road. What should you do if the driver behind is trying to overtake?

What hazard should you be aware of when travelling along this street?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Hazard awareness - What hazard should you be aware of when travelling along this street? On roads where there are many parked vehicles, you might not be able to see children between parked cars and they may run out into the road without looking.

Traffic officers operate on motorways and some primary routes in England and Wales. What are they authorised to do?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Motorway rules - Traffic officers operate on motorways and some primary routes in England and Wales. What are they authorised to do? Traffic officers don't have enforcement powers but are able to stop and direct people on motorways and some ‘A’ class roads. They operate in England and Wales and work in partnership with the police at incidents, providing a highly trained and visible service. They're recognised by an orange-and-yellow jacket and their vehicle has yellow-and-black markings.

What should you do as you approach this bridge?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Alertness - What should you do as you approach this bridge? You should slow down and be cautious. Hump bridges are often narrow and there may not be enough room for you to pass an oncoming vehicle at this point. Also, there's no footpath, so be aware of pedestrians in the road.

You're carrying an 11-year-old child on the front seat of your car. They're under 1.35 metres (4 feet 5 inches) tall. What seat belt security must be in place?

Where should you stop to rest if you feel tired while you're travelling along a motorway?

Why is it particularly important to check your vehicle before making a long motorway journey?

You're driving past parked cars. What should you do if you see a bicycle wheel sticking out between the cars?

You're driving on a road that has a cycle lane. What does it mean if the lane is marked by a broken white line?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Rules of the road - You're driving on a road that has a cycle lane. What does it mean if the lane is marked by a broken white line? Cycle lanes are marked with either a solid or a broken white line. If the line is solid, you should check the times of operation shown on the signs, and not drive or park in the lane during those times. If the line is broken, you shouldn't drive or park in the lane unless it's unavoidable.

How will your journey be affected by travelling outside the busy times of day?

You're driving a vehicle that has anti-lock brakes. How should you apply the footbrake when you need to stop in an emergency?

You're driving behind a large goods vehicle. What should you do if it signals left but steers to the right?

In winter, road signs can become covered by snow. What does this sign mean?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - In winter, road signs can become covered by snow. What does this sign mean? The 'stop' sign is the only road sign that's octagonal. This is so that it can be recognised and obeyed even if it's obscured (for example, by snow).

You intend to turn left at the traffic lights. What should you do just before turning?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Hazard awareness - You intend to turn left at the traffic lights. What should you do just before turning? If you've been in a queue of traffic and are about to turn left, check your nearside for cyclists as they often filter past on the nearside of slow-moving or stationary vehicles.

You're travelling along a motorway. Where would you find a crawler or climbing lane?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Motorway rules - You're travelling along a motorway. Where would you find a crawler or climbing lane? Large, slow-moving vehicles can hinder the progress of other traffic. On a steep gradient, an extra crawler lane may be provided for slow-moving vehicles to allow faster-moving traffic to flow more easily.

When must you contact the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)?

You've broken down on a two-way road. You have a warning triangle. At least how far from your vehicle should you place the warning triangle?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Incidents and emergencies - You've broken down on a two-way road. You have a warning triangle. At least how far from your vehicle should you place the warning triangle? Advance warning triangles fold flat and don’t take up much room. Use one to warn other road users if your vehicle has broken down or if there has been an incident. Place it at least 45 metres (147 feet) behind your vehicle (or the incident), on the same side of the road or verge. Place it further back if the scene is hidden by, for example, a bend, hill or dip in the road. Don’t use warning triangles on motorways.

What does this sign mean?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - What does this sign mean? This sign may be at the end of a dual carriageway or a one-way street. It's there to warn you of oncoming traffic.

You're waiting at a level crossing. What must you do if a train passes but the lights keep flashing?

You're carrying two 13-year-old children and their parents in your car. Who's responsible for seeing that the children wear seat belts?

What does this arm signal mean?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - What does this arm signal mean? There might be an occasion where another driver uses an arm signal. This may be because the vehicle’s indicators are obscured by other traffic. In order for such signals to be effective, all drivers should know their meaning. Be aware that the ‘left turn’ signal might look similar to the ‘slowing down’ signal.

Where would you see this road marking?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - Where would you see this road marking? Because the road has a dark colour, changes in level aren't easily seen. White triangles painted on the road surface give you an indication of where there are road humps.

How much more fuel will you use by driving at 70 mph, compared with driving at 50 mph?

Which is the most vulnerable road user?

What will be affected if the road surface becomes soft in very hot weather?

How can drivers help the environment?

What should you do if you're driving on a motorway and you miss the exit that you wanted to take?

What's the speed limit for a car towing a trailer on a motorway?

You're driving a friend's children home from school. They're both under 14 years old. Who's responsible for making sure they wear a seat belt or approved child restraint where required?

In England, Scotland and Northern Ireland what will the speed limit usually be where you can see street lights but no speed-limit signs?

What does this sign mean?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - What does this sign mean? Be prepared for traffic approaching from junctions on either side of you. Try to avoid unnecessary changing of lanes just before the junction.

What does this sign indicate?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - What does this sign indicate? When a diversion route has been put in place, drivers are advised to follow a symbol, which may be a black triangle, square, circle or diamond shape on a yellow background.

Which vehicles should use the left-hand lane on a three-lane motorway?

Other than direction indicators, how can you give signals to other road users?
