Q: What does the Riyadh 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 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 2

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 3

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 4

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

Question 5

You hear the siren of an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Move safely to the right side and slow down or stop to let it pass. When an emergency vehicle is using its siren and flashing lights, you must pull safely to the right, reduce speed, and stop if necessary to allow it to pass. Do not brake suddenly without checking mirrors first.

Answer

Accelerate to get out of its way as quickly as possible

Answer

Stop immediately wherever you are

Answer

Continue at your current speed but move slightly left

Question 6

An ambulance with lights and siren is approaching a red traffic signal from behind you. You are also waiting at the red light. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Pull as far to the right as safely possible without crossing the stop line. You must create space for the ambulance without crossing the stop line and entering the intersection against a red signal, which could cause a collision with crossing traffic. Pull right within the lane or onto the hard shoulder if available.

Answer

Drive through the red light immediately to clear the way

Answer

Stay where you are because running a red light is never permitted

Answer

Turn left onto any available road

Question 7

A pedestrian is waiting at a marked zebra crossing. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and give way to the pedestrian. At a marked zebra crossing, pedestrians have priority once they step onto or are clearly waiting to use the crossing. You must slow down and stop if necessary. Failing to give way is an offence.

Answer

Sound your horn to warn the pedestrian and continue

Answer

Flash your headlights so the pedestrian knows you are coming

Answer

Proceed at the same speed because pedestrians must wait for a gap

Question 8

You are approaching a pedestrian crossing in a school zone and a group of children is about to cross. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

Stop and give way to the children before proceeding. Children crossing at or near a pedestrian crossing in a school zone must be given way to. Stop your vehicle completely and wait until all children have safely reached the other side. School zones carry heightened duty of care.

Answer

Slow down only if a school guard is present

Answer

Sound your horn twice and drive through carefully

Answer

Pass quickly so the children do not have to wait

Question 9

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 10

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
