What’s the purpose of the yellow lines painted across the road?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Vehicle handling - What’s the purpose of the yellow lines painted across the road? These lines may be painted on the road on the approach to a roundabout, a village or a particular hazard. The lines are raised and painted yellow, and their purpose is to make you aware of your speed. Reduce your speed in good time so that you avoid having to brake harshly over the last few metres before reaching the junction.

Which type of vehicle should you be ready to give way to as you approach this bridge?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Hazard awareness - Which type of vehicle should you be ready to give way to as you approach this bridge? A bus or high-sided lorry will have to take a position in the centre of the road to clear the bridge. There's normally a sign to show this. Look well ahead, past the bridge and be ready to stop and give way to large oncoming vehicles.

What does this sign mean?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Road and traffic signs - What does this sign mean? You must comply with all traffic signs and be especially aware of those signs that apply specifically to the type of vehicle you're using.
