What will affect your vehicle's stopping distance?
You’re towing a small trailer behind your car and joining the motorway from a slip road. The motorway is busy with morning traffic. Further along the motorway, the central reservation is coned off for repair. Lanes have been narrowed for some distance, using cones and temporary reflective studs. Once past the roadworks, traffic speeds up and the left-hand lane becomes clear. You then realise that you’ve gone past the exit you need.

You're approaching a red light at a puffin crossing. Pedestrians are on the crossing. When will the red light change?
It’s early evening and the street lamps are lit. You’re driving home at 30 mph, although there are no speed-limit signs. The road is a single carriageway and you’re alone in your vehicle. Sleet is falling steadily and it’s cold. Ahead, a vehicle is spreading salt on the road. In town there are high-occupancy vehicle lanes, which you don’t use. Your home is level with a zebra crossing but you park beyond its markings, further down the road.
You're waiting at a T-junction. What should you do if a vehicle is coming from the right, with its left indicator flashing?
You’re driving in very thick fog and the road surface is also rather damp. You’re using fog lights as well as headlights. You leave a larger gap than normal between your vehicle and the one in front. Later, a drain is being unblocked and the pumping vehicle is obstructing the road on your side. Further on still, there are rumble devices on the approach to a roundabout.
