Fujairah Traffic - UAE Safe Driving Practice Test

Q: How many questions is the Fujairah Traffic light vehicle theory test?

The official Fujairah Traffic light vehicle theory test in Fujairah has 40 questions and you need 30 correct (75%) to pass. This practice test has 22 questions.

Q: Is this the real exam?

These are practice questions for study only, written from the public RTA handbook and UAE traffic rules and to what candidates report from the real test. They are not the official exam questions and Wathim is not affiliated with the RTA, ITC, SRTA or any UAE government body. Test format, question count and pass mark can change and vary by emirate, so always confirm the current requirements with the licensing authority before your real test.

Q: Is this practice test free?

The first 10 questions are free, with no signup, and each shows the answer and the reason. The full 22-question test, timed, is in the Fujairah Traffic Theory Test Questions PDF (AED 29, one payment), with every question in the bank.

Q: What does the Fujairah 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

Driving on a sandy or unpaved desert track, how does braking differ from a dry paved road?

Accepted Answer

Grip is much lower, so braking distances are significantly longer. The answer is that grip is much lower, so braking distances are significantly longer. Loose sand offers far less traction than paved tarmac, and tyres can sink or slide. Reduce speed before entering sandy areas and apply the brakes early and gradually.

Answer

Sand provides extra friction, so braking distances are shorter

Answer

Braking distance is identical to a paved surface

Answer

ABS works better on sand than on tarmac

Question 2

Why does the UAE heat make correct tyre pressure especially important?

Accepted Answer

High temperatures raise tyre pressure and can increase blowout risk if tyres are already over-inflated. The answer is that high temperatures raise the air pressure inside tyres, so a tyre that starts slightly over-inflated can become dangerously over-inflated in UAE heat, raising blowout risk. Check pressures when tyres are cold and follow the manufacturer's recommended values.

Answer

Heat makes tyres softer so higher pressure is always better

Answer

Tyre pressure has no relationship with temperature

Answer

Over-inflated tyres grip the road better in the heat

Question 3

How do you check that you are keeping a two-second gap?

Accepted Answer

Pick a fixed point; when the car ahead passes it, you should not reach it before saying 'one thousand and one, one thousand and two'. The time-gap check works at any speed: note when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed object such as a lamp post, then count two seconds. If you pass it sooner you are too close. Double the gap in rain, fog or dust. Tailgating costs AED 400 and 4 black points.

Answer

Count car lengths between you and the car ahead

Answer

Watch the speedometer and stay 20 km/h slower than the car ahead

Answer

Keep the car ahead's number plate readable

Question 4

On a dry road in good conditions, what is the minimum following distance behind the vehicle ahead?

Accepted Answer

At least a two-second gap. The RTA handbook sets at least two seconds in good conditions. Pick a fixed point ahead and count: you should not reach it until two seconds after the vehicle in front. Increase the gap in rain, fog, sand or at high speed.

Answer

Half a second

Answer

One car length regardless of speed

Answer

As close as possible to save space

Question 5

How should your following distance change when driving in rain or fog?

Accepted Answer

Increase it well beyond the normal two-second minimum. The answer is to increase the gap well beyond normal. Wet or foggy conditions lengthen stopping distances and reduce visibility, so a larger following distance, often doubled or more, gives you time to react. Slow down and use lights appropriately.

Answer

Keep exactly the same gap

Answer

Reduce it so you can follow the tail lights ahead

Answer

Use one car length

Question 6

How does higher speed affect your overall stopping distance?

Accepted Answer

Stopping distance increases sharply as speed rises. The answer is that stopping distance increases sharply with speed. Both your thinking distance and braking distance grow as you go faster, and braking distance rises steeply, so a small speed increase adds a lot of stopping distance. Drive to conditions and keep speed sensible.

Answer

Stopping distance stays the same at any speed

Answer

Stopping distance decreases at higher speed

Answer

Speed only affects reaction time, not braking distance

Question 7

Why should you check your tyres regularly, including tread and pressure?

Accepted Answer

Good tread and correct pressure improve grip and braking, especially in the wet. The answer is that healthy tyres improve grip and braking. Worn or under-inflated tyres reduce traction and lengthen stopping distances, and in UAE heat correct pressure also lowers blowout risk. Check all tyres regularly including the spare.

Answer

It only matters for the appearance of the car

Answer

Tyres never affect braking distance

Answer

Only the front tyres need to be checked

Question 8

Before changing lanes, what should you always do in addition to using your mirrors?

Accepted Answer

Check your blind spot with a quick glance over your shoulder. The answer is to check your blind spot with a shoulder glance. Mirrors do not show every area beside the car, so a quick look covers the blind spot where a vehicle or motorcycle can hide. Signal, check, then move only when clear.

Answer

Rely only on the interior mirror

Answer

Close your eyes and hope the lane is clear

Answer

Change lanes first, then look

Question 9

How should a seat belt be worn to protect you properly?

Accepted Answer

Lap part low across the hips and diagonal part across the chest and shoulder, not the neck, with no slack. A belt works only if it sits on the strong bones: the lap part low over the hips and the diagonal part across the middle of the shoulder and chest. Twisted, slack or under-arm belts can cause serious internal injuries in a crash.

Answer

Diagonal strap under the arm for comfort

Answer

Loose, so you can lean forward freely

Answer

Lap part across the stomach and diagonal strap behind your back

Question 10

Under UAE rules, which children must travel in a child safety seat?

Accepted Answer

Children under four years old. Children under four must be secured in a suitable child seat (fine AED 400), and children under 10 or shorter than 145 cm must not sit in the front. An adult's arms cannot hold a child in a crash.

Answer

Only babies under six months

Answer

Only children travelling on motorways

Answer

No child seat is required if an adult holds the child
