Q: What does the Makkah light vehicle theory test cover?

Road signs, traffic signals, right of way, roundabouts, speed limits, seat belts, penalties and safe-driving rules, plus the handling and safety topics specific to your vehicle.

Question 1

You want to turn left across oncoming traffic at a junction. The oncoming lane is busy. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic before turning. When turning left across oncoming traffic you must give way to all vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. Wait behind the stop line or at a safe position until there is a gap large enough to complete the turn safely. Traffic drives on the right in Saudi Arabia, so a left turn crosses the oncoming lanes.

Answer

Edge forward slowly into the oncoming lane to signal your intention

Answer

Sound your horn to request oncoming drivers to let you through

Answer

Turn immediately because left turns always have priority

Question 2

You are turning left at a junction where a dedicated right-turn filter lane exists for oncoming traffic. The filter light is green for oncoming drivers. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Wait and give way to oncoming vehicles using the green right-turn filter. A green right-turn filter gives oncoming drivers priority to turn across your path. You must wait until those vehicles have completed their turn before you proceed. Crossing paths with a green-filter vehicle is dangerous and the fault would lie with you.

Answer

Proceed with your left turn because left turns never conflict with right-turn filters

Answer

Flash your lights to warn oncoming right-turning vehicles

Answer

Turn left at the same time as the filter vehicles to keep traffic flowing

Question 3

A filter lane on a dual carriageway is coming to an end and you need to merge with the main carriageway. Who must give way?

Accepted Answer

You must give way and merge only when there is a safe gap in the main carriageway. The driver leaving the filter or acceleration lane must give way to traffic already established in the main carriageway. Never force your way in; wait for a suitable gap.

Answer

Traffic in the main carriageway must slow to let you merge

Answer

Both vehicles must slow down equally to allow the merge

Answer

Whichever vehicle is ahead at the merge point has priority

Question 4

You are joining a motorway from a slip road. How should you merge with motorway traffic?

Accepted Answer

Match your speed to motorway traffic and merge when a safe gap appears. On a slip road you must build up speed to match the motorway flow, then give way to traffic already on the motorway and merge when a safe gap exists. Stopping at the end of a slip road is dangerous.

Answer

Stop at the end of the slip road and wait for a clear gap

Answer

Drive to the end of the slip road and then signal right to force a gap

Answer

Motorway traffic must move left to allow your entry

Question 5

Two lanes of traffic merge into one due to roadworks. What is the correct zip-merge behaviour?

Accepted Answer

Each lane takes turns merging one by one at the merge point. Zip-merging (also called late merging) means both lanes continue to the merge point and then alternate one vehicle at a time. This reduces overall queue length and is the approved method in many countries.

Answer

Drivers in the lane that is not closing must never allow anyone to merge

Answer

All traffic should move into the open lane as early as possible

Answer

The driver with the longest journey has priority to merge first

Question 6

A bus has signalled to pull away from a bus stop on a road with a speed limit of 60 km/h. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Give way to the bus if it is safe to do so. When a bus signals to pull away from a stop, give way to it if it is safe to do so. Not giving priority to public transport such as buses on their designated lanes is a violation (table 4, SR 500-900).

Answer

Sound your horn and overtake the bus before it moves

Answer

Maintain your speed because the bus must wait for a gap

Answer

Flash your headlights to indicate you are not stopping

Question 7

You arrive at an unmarked crossroads at the same time as another vehicle coming from your right. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle coming from your right has priority. At an unmarked crossroads with no signs or signals, you must give way to traffic approaching from your right. This right-hand priority rule applies when all roads are equal and no other rule overrides it.

Answer

The vehicle coming from your left has priority

Answer

The larger vehicle has priority

Answer

The vehicle travelling faster has priority

Question 8

At an unmarked equal junction, three vehicles arrive at the same time from the north, east, and west (there is no vehicle from the south). Under the give-way-to-the-right rule, which vehicle has priority to go first?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle coming from the west, because it has no vehicle on its right. Give way to the vehicle on your right. The vehicle from the west is heading east, so its right side faces the empty south approach; with no one on its right it has priority and goes first. The vehicle from the north must give way to the west vehicle, and the vehicle from the east must give way to the north vehicle.

Answer

The vehicle coming from the north

Answer

The vehicle coming from the east

Answer

All three must stop and wait for a signal from another driver

Question 9

You are about to enter a roundabout. Traffic is already circulating inside. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout have priority. Circulating traffic inside a roundabout has priority over vehicles trying to enter. You must give way and wait for a safe gap before entering. Not giving priority to vehicles inside a roundabout is a table 4 violation (SR 500-900) and carries 6 points.

Answer

Vehicles entering the roundabout have priority

Answer

The vehicle to your right at the entry has priority

Answer

Both vehicles have equal priority

Question 10

At a roundabout with two entry lanes, you are in the right-hand entry lane. Which exits can you generally use?

Accepted Answer

The first exit or turning right, keeping to the outer lane inside the roundabout. In the right-hand (outer) entry lane of a roundabout you should use the first exit or travel less than halfway round, staying in the outer lane. Using an inner lane for a near exit or an outer lane for a far exit creates crossing conflicts.

Answer

Only the first exit to the left

Answer

Any exit, regardless of your entry lane position

Answer

Only exits that do not require crossing other lanes
