Question 1

You are approaching a narrow bridge and can see an oncoming vehicle already on it. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop before the bridge and let the oncoming vehicle clear it before you enter. The answer is to stop and let the oncoming vehicle clear the bridge. If a vehicle is already on a narrow bridge it should be allowed to complete its crossing before you enter. The driver who has not yet entered the restricted section should give way. If you are both on it already, whoever is nearest to their exit should continue. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Enter the bridge and force the oncoming vehicle to reverse

Answer

Both enter slowly and squeeze past each other

Answer

Sound the horn to claim priority and drive on

Question 2

In a residential area with no pavement markings or pedestrian crossings, a group of children is crossing the road. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Slow right down, stop if needed, and wait for them to cross safely. The answer is to slow and stop if necessary. Children are unpredictable and may dart back or forward unexpectedly. In a residential area you should already be travelling slowly, and the presence of children crossing demands patience and a complete stop if needed. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Proceed at normal speed because children should not cross mid-road

Answer

Sound the horn to warn them and drive past quickly

Answer

Proceed once you can see a gap between the children

Question 3

A bus lane is active on your left. An emergency ambulance is using the bus lane at speed to bypass traffic. Should other vehicles enter the bus lane to give the ambulance more room?

Accepted Answer

No, stay out of the bus lane; you would obstruct the ambulance by entering it. The answer is to stay out of the bus lane. If an ambulance is already using the bus lane, entering it would create an obstruction and could block the emergency vehicle. Keep your lane, slow if needed, and let the ambulance pass in the bus lane it has chosen. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Yes, pull into the bus lane to give the ambulance the full main lane

Answer

Yes, if your vehicle fits in the bus lane you may use it briefly for this purpose

Answer

Stop in the main lane so the ambulance has all available space

Question 4

Two roads of equal status meet at an unmarked T-junction and both have no signs. You are on the road that ends (the stem of the T). Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic on the continuous through road has priority over you on the road that ends. The answer is that the through road has priority. At a T-junction the road that continues is generally treated as the major road, and the road that terminates (the stem) must give way. Yield to traffic from both directions on the through road before pulling out. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

You have priority because you arrived at the junction first

Answer

The vehicle to your right on the through road has priority but only if turning

Answer

Both roads have equal priority even at a T-junction

Question 5

You reach an unmarked junction at the same time as a vehicle on your right. Who goes first?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle on your right. At an unmarked or equal junction, give way to the vehicle approaching from your right. When in doubt, slow down and let the other driver go to avoid a collision.

Answer

You do, because you are on the main flow

Answer

The faster vehicle

Answer

Whoever flashes their lights

Question 6

An emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens on. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Pull over safely to the right and let it pass. Give way to emergency vehicles: check your mirrors, signal, and move safely to the right to let them pass, then continue. Blocking or failing to give way to an emergency vehicle is a serious offence.

Answer

Speed up to clear the road faster

Answer

Stop immediately in your lane

Answer

Ignore it if you have right of way

Question 7

At an unmarked junction where two roads of equal importance meet and there are no signs or signals, who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle approaching from your right. The answer is the vehicle on your right. At an unmarked or equal junction with no signs, signals or markings to decide priority, you give way to the vehicle coming from your right. When in doubt, slow down and make eye contact before proceeding, and confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

The vehicle approaching from your left

Answer

The larger of the two vehicles

Answer

Whoever reaches the junction fastest

Question 8

As you approach a roundabout, who normally has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic already circulating on the roundabout. The answer is traffic already on the roundabout. Unless signs or signals say otherwise, you give way to vehicles already circulating and enter only when there is a safe gap. Watch for multi-lane roundabouts where lane markings guide who goes where, and confirm the details with the RTA.

Answer

Traffic waiting to enter from your lane

Answer

The vehicle travelling at the highest speed

Answer

Vehicles entering from the left only

Question 9

An emergency vehicle with flashing lights and a siren is approaching from behind on a multi-lane road. What should you generally do?

Accepted Answer

Pull over to the right where safe and let it pass. The answer is to pull to the right where safe and let it pass. Emergency vehicles have priority, so signal, move safely toward the right and slow or stop to clear a path, without braking so hard that you cause a collision. Never block or follow closely behind them, and confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Speed up to stay ahead of it

Answer

Stop immediately in your lane wherever you are

Answer

Move to the left lane and slow down

Question 10

A pedestrian is waiting to cross at a marked zebra crossing with no traffic signal. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and give way, letting the pedestrian cross. The answer is to give way and let the pedestrian cross. At an unsignalled zebra crossing pedestrians have priority, so slow down and stop if needed. Be ready for people stepping out and never overtake a vehicle that has stopped for a crossing. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Continue because vehicles always have priority

Answer

Sound your horn so the pedestrian waits

Answer

Only stop if the pedestrian is a child

Question 11

You want to turn across the path of oncoming traffic to reach a side road or entrance. When should you turn?

Accepted Answer

Only when there is a safe gap and oncoming traffic has cleared. The answer is to wait for a safe gap. When turning across oncoming traffic you must yield to vehicles coming straight toward you and complete the turn only when it is clearly safe. A green light does not give you priority over oncoming traffic when turning across it. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

As soon as your traffic light turns green

Answer

Whenever the oncoming vehicles flash their headlights

Answer

Immediately, because turning vehicles have priority

Question 12

You are joining a motorway from an on-ramp and traffic is merging. What is the safest way to merge?

Accepted Answer

Match your speed to the traffic and merge into a safe gap, taking turns. The answer is to match speed and merge into a safe gap. Merging works best like a zip, with drivers adjusting speed and taking turns so vehicles blend smoothly. Stopping on a live ramp or entering far too slowly is dangerous. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Stop at the end of the ramp and wait for a long empty road

Answer

Force your way in and expect others to brake

Answer

Merge at a much slower speed than the flow of traffic

Question 13

A school bus ahead has stopped and its warning lights are flashing while children get on or off. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and it is safe to proceed. The answer is to stop and wait. When a school bus displays flashing stop lights you must stop, because children may be crossing near the bus where you cannot see them. Only move off once the lights stop and the way is clearly safe. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Overtake quickly on the left before children appear

Answer

Sound your horn to make the children hurry

Answer

Continue slowly past without stopping

Question 14

A bus is signalling to pull out from a bus stop in a built-up area and you are approaching from behind. What is the courteous and correct action?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and let the bus pull out where it is safe to do so. The answer is to slow down and give way to the bus where it is safe. In built-up areas you should let a bus rejoin the traffic when it signals, as long as it does not force you to brake dangerously. Stay alert for pedestrians around the stop. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Accelerate to pass before the bus moves

Answer

Ignore it, because you always have priority

Answer

Stop and block the bus from moving

Question 15

You are on a minor road at a T-junction and want to join the main road. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Give way to traffic on the main road and join when there is a safe gap. The answer is to give way to main-road traffic. At a T-junction the road that ends is normally the minor road, so you yield to vehicles on the through road and pull out only into a safe gap. Look carefully in both directions before moving. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Pull out immediately because you were there first

Answer

Expect main-road traffic to stop for you

Answer

Join only if the main road is a one-way street

Question 16

At a signalled pedestrian crossing your light is green but people are still finishing crossing. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Wait until the pedestrians have safely cleared before moving off. The answer is to wait until pedestrians have cleared. Even with a green light, you must not endanger people still on the crossing. Priority means little if it causes a collision, so let them finish before you go. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Drive forward because your green light gives you priority

Answer

Edge forward to push the pedestrians along

Answer

Sound your horn and proceed

Question 17

On a one-way street, in which direction may you drive?

Accepted Answer

Only in the single permitted direction of traffic flow. The answer is only in the permitted direction. A one-way street carries traffic in a single direction, so you must never drive against the flow. You may use any lane suitable for your intended exit. Watch for signs at junctions confirming the direction, and confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

In either direction as long as you use indicators

Answer

Against the flow if the road looks empty

Answer

In whichever direction is shortest to your destination

Question 18

You approach a junction controlled by a STOP sign on your road. What must you do before entering?

Accepted Answer

Come to a complete stop, then give way to traffic on the other road. The answer is to stop completely and then give way. A STOP sign requires a full stop at the line, after which you yield to traffic on the priority road and proceed only when it is safe. Rolling through without stopping is an offence. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Slow down only if you see another vehicle

Answer

Continue if the road looks clear without stopping

Answer

Stop only when a police officer is present

Question 19

On a multi-lane roundabout you want to take an exit on the far side. Which lane should you generally use on approach?

Accepted Answer

Follow the lane markings and signs, usually a left or inner lane for far exits. The answer is to follow the lane markings and signs. On multi-lane roundabouts the correct lane depends on your exit, and far exits are usually taken from an inner or left lane before moving right to leave. Signal your exit and check mirrors and blind spots. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Always stay in the rightmost lane the whole way round

Answer

Choose any lane and change freely inside the roundabout

Answer

Use the hard shoulder to keep out of traffic

Question 20

Two lanes are merging into one because of a lane closure ahead and traffic is heavy. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Use zip merging, taking turns one vehicle from each lane at the merge point. The answer is zip merging. In slow, heavy traffic both lanes are used up to the merge point and vehicles alternate one from each lane, which keeps traffic flowing smoothly and fairly. Stay calm and leave space for the vehicle merging in. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Everyone must move into the open lane as early as possible

Answer

The faster lane always has priority and should not yield

Answer

Block the closing lane so no one can use it

Question 21

An ambulance with lights and siren is stuck behind you at a red traffic light. What is the safest response?

Accepted Answer

Only move to clear a path if you can do so safely and lawfully. The answer is to clear a path only if you can do so safely and lawfully. You should help emergency vehicles pass, but you must not cause a crash or put pedestrians at risk. Move aside carefully where there is room rather than lunging into cross traffic. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

Immediately drive through the red light to get out of the way

Answer

Reverse into the ambulance path to create room

Answer

Do nothing and remain exactly in place regardless of space

Question 22

You are turning left at a junction and a pedestrian is crossing the road you are turning into. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The pedestrian, who you must let cross before completing the turn. The answer is the pedestrian. When you turn into a road where people are already crossing, you must give way and let them finish. Turning drivers must watch for pedestrians who can be easy to miss in a blind spot. Confirm the current rules with the RTA.

Answer

You, because turning traffic always goes first

Answer

Whoever moves more quickly

Answer

The pedestrian only if a signal tells them to cross
