Driving Behavior Test

When encountering a tractor traveling slowly on a busy road, other vehicles may become impatient and attempt to overtake. You should expect that one of the vehicles behind the tractor might suddenly move into your lane to overtake, especially if the tractor is traveling slowly. Always stay alert and be prepared for sudden movements from other drivers, particularly in areas with limited visibility.

The risk of accidents is greatest in built-up areas, where there are more pedestrians, cyclists, intersections, and frequent stops, increasing the chances of collisions.

When approaching a zebra crossing, if pedestrians are waiting to cross, you should slow down and be prepared to stop to allow them to cross safely. You must give way to all pedestrians, not just the elderly or infirm, and never wave them across or use your headlights to signal them. Always prioritize pedestrian safety at crossings.

Before starting your engine, your seat should be adjusted for height to ensure proper visibility of the road, mirrors, and dashboard. This also helps you reach the pedals comfortably and maintain a safe driving posture.

When driving a slow-moving vehicle on a narrow winding road, it's important to pull in safely when possible, allowing faster vehicles to overtake. This helps prevent traffic buildup and ensures safer driving conditions for everyone.

Driving while angry can affect your concentration, judgment, and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents. It's important to calm down before starting your journey to ensure you are fully focused and in control of your emotions while driving.

When descending a hill, waving is not necessary and should not be done excessively. What’s important is to brake carefully, observe traffic around you, and slow down to maintain control of your vehicle. Braking too hard or too often can overheat your brakes, while failing to observe traffic can lead to unsafe driving conditions.

To prevent feeling sleepy while driving long distances, stopping and walking around is the best solution. Taking breaks, stretching, and getting some fresh air can help you stay alert. Relying on coffee or speeding may not be effective in the long term and can be dangerous. Always prioritize safety by getting rest when needed.

You should pull into a passing space on your right because it's safer and more common to give way to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction. This helps avoid the need for both vehicles to reverse.

If you are driving behind a large goods vehicle that signals left but steers to the right, you should slow down and let the vehicle turn. Large vehicles often need extra space to make turns, and they may signal one direction while steering in the opposite direction to maneuver safely. It’s important to give them room and wait until it's safe to proceed.

When preparing to make a turn, you should reduce your speed and signal well in advance. This lets other drivers and pedestrians know your intentions, helping to avoid accidents. It's important to approach the turn safely, with enough time to adjust your speed and ensure proper control of your vehicle.

At an intersection controlled by traffic lights, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing at designated pedestrian crossings, even if the traffic light turns green for vehicles. Always yield to pedestrians to ensure their safety.

Before moving off, a driver must check their surroundings, look into the mirrors, and signal their intentions. This ensures awareness of other vehicles, pedestrians, and any potential hazards, improving safety for everyone on the road.

The safest and most appropriate way to cross a clear road is to walk across it at a steady pace. Running or jumping can increase the risk of tripping or losing balance, while attempting to stop traffic yourself is unsafe and impractical. Always ensure the road is clear and use designated crossings where available.

Horses can be easily startled by sudden movements or loud noises. Always overtake carefully and slowly to ensure the safety of both the rider and the horse. Give them plenty of space and avoid honking or revving your engine. If necessary, wait until it is completely safe before passing.

On a freshly graveled road, loose stones can reduce traction and increase stopping distances. Vehicles overtaking you can kick up gravel, which may damage your windshield or reduce visibility. Additionally, sudden maneuvers on loose gravel can lead to skidding. It’s important to reduce speed, maintain a safe following distance, and be extra cautious of vehicles overtaking to avoid accidents.

Waving pedestrians to cross can be risky because other vehicles may be approaching and not see the pedestrian. Pedestrians should only cross when it's safe and when vehicles are stopping for them.

When it's windy, and you are behind a motorcyclist who is overtaking a high-sided vehicle, you should keep well back. High winds can affect the stability of both the motorcyclist and the vehicle. Giving extra space allows you to safely react to any sudden movements or gusts of wind that may cause instability. Avoid overtaking until it is safe to do so.

Before making a U-turn, it's crucial to look over your shoulder to check for any blind spots and ensure it is safe to turn. Relying only on mirrors may not give you a complete view of approaching vehicles.

Alcohol affects the central nervous system and impairs various functions, including coordination, judgment, and reaction time. When you consume alcohol, it slows your reaction time, making it harder to respond quickly to sudden situations on the road. This can be dangerous for both the driver and others. It does not directly affect your vehicle or brakes, nor does it increase alertness.

When following a large vehicle, stay out of its blind spots by positioning your vehicle in a place where the driver can see you in their mirrors. These blind spots are usually located directly behind the vehicle, along the sides (especially the right side), and sometimes in front of the vehicle. To avoid these, ensure you:

• Position yourself slightly to the left of the large vehicle, staying visible in the driver's side mirror.
• Keep a safe distance so you aren't directly behind or too close to the vehicle.
• Pass the vehicle quickly when overtaking to minimize the time spent in their blind spots.

This will help you stay visible and reduce the risk of accidents.

When a driver pulls out of a side road in front of you, forcing you to brake suddenly, you should ignore the error and stay calm. Reacting with frustration or aggressive behavior, such as flashing your lights or sounding your horn to show annoyance, can escalate the situation and create more risk. The best response is to stay calm, focus on safe driving, and avoid actions that could compromise your safety or the safety of others.

Explanation:

Taking regular breaks to rest and hydrate during a long journey helps prevent fatigue and keeps you focused. Rest allows your body and mind to recover, while hydration maintains energy levels and concentration. Together, these breaks improve alertness and reduce the risk of accidents caused by tiredness.

When a vehicle on the motorway activates its hazard lights briefly, it is typically signaling that traffic ahead is slowing down or stopping suddenly. This is a warning to other drivers to be cautious and ready to stop or slow down.

If a vehicle comes up quickly behind you, flashing its headlights, it's signaling that it wants to overtake. The safest option is to allow the vehicle to pass. Maintain your speed and position, but don’t speed up or brake abruptly—just let the other vehicle safely overtake.

It is always advisable to turn off the ignition and never leave your vehicle unattended while running. This helps prevent theft, reduces fuel wastage, and ensures safety by avoiding unintended movement of the vehicle.

The correct answer is:  "A, B and C"

In stormy conditions, it's important to:

• Slow down because it takes longer to stop on wet or slippery roads.
• Stay toward the middle lanes since water tends to pool in the outside lanes, increasing the risk of hydroplaning.
• Drive in the tracks of a car ahead as this can help avoid deeper water and reduce the chances of hydroplaning.

All of these actions help maintain control of your vehicle and reduce the risk of accidents in stormy conditions.

When crossing traffic, it’s important to cross with care. This means you should ensure it’s safe to do so, check for oncoming traffic, and cross only when it is clear. Always make sure you have enough space and time to safely maneuver, rather than rushing or crossing immediately.

Since you are driving on a clear night with a steady stream of oncoming traffic and the national speed limit applies, you should expect to see dipped headlights rather than full beam headlights.

Using full beam headlights in this situation would dazzle oncoming drivers, creating a safety hazard. Full beams should only be used when there is no oncoming traffic and no vehicles ahead that could be blinded by your lights.
