Practice Driving Test

Notes on answering the questions: Where questions have printed answers, one or more answers may be correct.









So, how did you think you did? I just wanted to give all of you a taste of my driving license ordeal. These questions came from the 60 practice tests that accompanied my English-language driver's text. No little booklet here, like you get in the States at your local DMV. This is a serious textbook and the practice tests really help to absorb the information.

All the gory details about me learning stick and taking driving lessons will be posted in other entries, but in the meantime, here are the answers to your little test:

1. b -- The motorcyclist is following the path of the priority road and you are leaving it.

2. a, b, and c

3. a -- The red triangular sign gives you priority at this intersection only.

4. b

5. b and c -- Yield to the yellow truck as it is following the path of the priority road, but the green car must yield to you as you are turning from the priority road.

6. a and c -- A St. Andrew's Cross is the sign for railroad crossing and a level crossing is the train tracks themselves.

7. a and c -- The motorcyclist has priority as he is coming from the right, you then have priority over the blue car as you are coming from its right.

8. 130 meters -- Stopping distance is Reaction distanceplus Braking distance
