Spotted an error? [Report it](/corrections/). Or study below: tap any question to see its options, answer and Highway Code rule. **Q1. A driver behind is following you far too closely. What's the safest response?** A. Brake sharply to warn them off B. Speed up to open the gap behind you C. Ease off and increase the gap between you and the vehicle in front D. Signal left and stop immediately **Answer: C.** Dropping back from the vehicle ahead gives you room to slow gently, so the tailgater isn't forced into an emergency stop behind you — and gives them a safer space to overtake into. **Q2. When are you allowed to flash your headlights at another road user?** A. To let them know you're giving way B. Only to let them know you're there C. To thank them for letting you out D. To tell them to move over **Answer: B.** Headlight flashes have one official meaning: warning others of your presence, like the horn. Never assume a flash from another driver is an invitation to proceed — it may not be meant for you. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 110–111 **Q3. When must you not sound your horn in a built-up area?** A. Between 11:30 pm and 7:00 am, unless another road user poses a danger B. At any time on a road with street lights C. Between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am in all circumstances D. Whenever pedestrians are nearby **Answer: A.** In a built-up area you must not use your horn between 11:30 pm and 7:00 am, and on any road you must not use it while stationary — in both cases unless another road user poses a danger. Never use it aggressively. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 112 **Q4. You're driving a slow-moving vehicle on a narrow, winding road and a queue has built up behind you. What should you do?** A. Maintain your speed — following drivers must wait B. Wave the queue past on a bend C. Speed up beyond your comfortable limit D. Pull in where it's safe and let the traffic pass **Answer: D.** Holding up a long queue invites risky overtakes. Checking your mirrors often and pulling in safely to let traffic pass is the considerate — and safest — option. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 169 **Q5. You've stopped at a zebra crossing for a pedestrian. Should you wave them across?** A. Yes — it's polite and speeds things up B. No — other traffic may not have stopped, so let them judge when it's safe C. Yes, but only at night D. Only if children are crossing **Answer: B.** Never beckon pedestrians across: a vehicle in another lane may not be stopping, and your wave could send someone into its path. Stop, wait, and let them decide. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 195 **Q6. An ambulance with flashing blue lights is behind you in traffic. What should you do?** A. Brake hard and stop where you are B. Drive through the red light ahead to clear the way C. Pull over safely and legally to let it pass, without mounting the kerb or breaking the law D. Speed up to stay ahead of it **Answer: C.** Help emergency vehicles pass — but calmly and legally. Don't run red lights, mount kerbs or endanger others; anticipate where it needs to go and give way safely. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 219 **Q7. The driver ahead is elderly and hesitating at a junction. How should you respond?** A. Sound your horn to prompt them B. Overtake them at the junction C. Be patient and allow them time — they may not react as quickly as you D. Drive close behind to encourage them to move **Answer: C.** Older drivers' reactions may be slower, and pressuring a hesitant driver causes rushed, dangerous decisions. Patience costs seconds; intimidation causes collisions. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 147 and 216 **Q8. On a single-track road, a vehicle is coming towards you and the passing place is on your right. What should you do?** A. Drive into the passing place on the right B. Wait opposite the passing place so the other vehicle can use it C. Reverse until the road widens, whatever the distance D. Flash your headlights and continue **Answer: B.** Pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite one on your right — never cross into it. Give way to vehicles coming uphill where you can. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 155–156 **Q9. Why does the Highway Code say you must never throw anything, such as a can or food wrapper, out of a vehicle?** A. It's an offence, and it can endanger others — particularly motorcyclists and cyclists B. It's only illegal on motorways and dual carriageways, where litter is harder to clear up safely C. It's permitted as long as the item is biodegradable, such as fruit peel D. It only matters if the item actually strikes another vehicle behind you **Answer: A.** Rule 147 says you MUST NOT (a legal requirement) throw anything out of a vehicle, including food or food packaging, cigarette ends, cans, paper or carrier bags. As well as being litter, a flying object can strike or unsettle someone on two wheels, who has no bodywork to protect them. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 147 **Q10. Another road user causes you a problem, for example by hesitating or choosing the wrong lane. What attitude does the Highway Code encourage?** A. Make your disapproval clear to them so they don't make the same mistake again B. Sound your horn so they realise they've got it wrong C. Report them to the police at the next opportunity D. Be understanding — they may be inexperienced or not know the area **Answer: D.** Rule 147 asks you to be patient and understanding: anyone can make a mistake, and the other driver may be a learner, newly qualified or unfamiliar with the roads. Showing disapproval only raises tension and makes a further error more likely. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 147 **Q11. What does the Highway Code advise if a road user pulls out into your path at a junction?** A. Close right up behind them so they realise their mistake B. Slow down and hold back so they have room to get clear C. Swerve around them and carry on at your original speed D. Flash your headlights and sound your horn to warn them off **Answer: B.** Rule 147 says slow down, hold back and allow them to get clear. Over-reacting by driving too close behind to intimidate them turns a small error into a dangerous situation, and swerving round them risks conflict with oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 147 **Q12. What does the Highway Code advise if another driver's behaviour starts to make you angry?** A. Follow them for a while so you can point out exactly what they did wrong B. Keep driving, but speed up to put some distance between you and them C. Pull over when it's safe, calm down, and carry on once you feel relaxed D. Make it obvious you're annoyed so they know to change their driving **Answer: C.** Rule 147 warns that becoming agitated or involved when someone behaves badly only makes the situation worse. Stopping somewhere safe to calm down stops you making rash decisions, while chasing or confronting the other driver can quickly escalate into road rage. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 147 **Q13. It's raining and you're approaching a bus stop where people are queuing beside a deep puddle. What should you do?** A. Slow down so you don't splash the people waiting B. Keep your speed, as puddles are a normal part of wet weather C. Sound your horn to warn them to step back from the kerb D. Speed up so that you pass through the puddle more quickly **Answer: A.** Soaking pedestrians is inconsiderate, and prosecutors list driving through a puddle so that people are splashed as a possible example of driving without reasonable consideration for others, which rule 144 says you MUST NOT do. Slowing down avoids it completely. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 144 **Q14. In law, when is someone regarded as driving without due care and attention (careless driving)?** A. Only when their driving leads to a collision in which another person is injured or killed B. Only when they have broken a speed limit or ignored a traffic sign C. Only when a police officer personally witnessed the driving D. When their driving falls below what's expected of a competent and careful driver **Answer: D.** The Road Traffic Act 1988 defines careless driving as driving that falls below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver. No collision or injury is needed: a misjudgement such as emerging from a side road without enough caution can be enough. Reference: Road Traffic Act 1988 — section 3ZA **Q15. What makes driving 'dangerous' rather than careless, in legal terms?** A. It takes place on a motorway or other high-speed road rather than in a town B. It causes damage to another vehicle, even though nobody is hurt C. It falls far below a competent, careful driver's standard, and the danger would be obvious to one D. The driver has already been warned about their driving by the police **Answer: C.** Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, driving is dangerous when it falls far below what's expected of a competent and careful driver, and it would be obvious to such a driver that driving that way is dangerous. Careless driving only needs to fall below that standard. Reference: Road Traffic Act 1988 — section 2A **Q16. How many penalty points can a court give for careless or inconsiderate driving?** A. 3 to 6 B. 3 to 9 C. 6 to 8 D. 3 to 11 **Answer: B.** The Highway Code's penalty table shows 3 to 9 points for careless and inconsiderate driving, plus an unlimited fine and possible disqualification. Reaching 12 or more points within three years means compulsory disqualification, so repeated carelessness can quickly cost you your licence. Reference: The Highway Code — Annex 5 (penalties) **Q17. A driver is convicted of dangerous driving. What must the court normally do?** A. Disqualify them from driving for at least 12 months B. Give them a fixed penalty with 3 points on their licence C. Order them to attend a speed awareness course instead D. Issue a formal warning, as long as nobody was injured **Answer: A.** Dangerous driving carries obligatory disqualification, and the minimum period is 12 months. The maximum penalty also includes 2 years' imprisonment and an unlimited fine. Insurance costs are likely to rise considerably after a conviction for a serious driving offence. Reference: The Highway Code — Annex 5 (penalties) **Q18. How does the Highway Code describe tailgating?** A. Acceptable on high-speed roads, as long as your brakes are in good condition B. Discourteous, but not something the police are able to take any action over C. Only a problem when the road surface is wet, icy or covered in loose gravel D. Dangerous and intimidating, and enforced by police as a careless or dangerous driving offence **Answer: D.** Rule 126 defines tailgating as leaving too small a gap to stop safely if the vehicle in front suddenly brakes. It calls tailgating dangerous and intimidating, and notes that dangerous and careless driving offences, such as tailgating, are enforced by the police. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 126 **Q19. Which of these could lead to a charge of dangerous driving?** A. Using dipped headlights during heavy rain in the middle of the day B. Waiting to let a bus pull out from a bus stop C. Racing or driving competitively against another vehicle D. Leaving a larger gap than usual on a wet road **Answer: C.** Prosecutors list racing or competitive driving among the behaviours that may amount to dangerous driving, alongside aggressive lane changes and driving much too close to the vehicle in front. A conviction brings obligatory disqualification and possibly prison. Reference: CPS legal guidance — Road Traffic: Fatal Offences and Bad Driving **Q20. Why shouldn't you treat a speed limit as a target?** A. It's only a recommended speed, so you may go faster whenever the road ahead is clear B. It's the maximum allowed, and conditions often make a lower speed the safe choice C. Speed limits only apply in daylight and good weather, not at other times D. Speed limits are only enforced on roads that have fixed cameras **Answer: B.** Rule 146 says do not treat speed limits as a target: it is often not appropriate or safe to drive at the maximum. Rule 125 adds that the limit is an absolute maximum and doesn't mean it's safe to drive at that speed whatever the conditions. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 125 and 146 **Q21. Besides making collisions more likely and more severe, what effect does the Highway Code say inappropriate speed has?** A. It intimidates people and deters them from walking, cycling or riding horses B. It improves traffic flow, because busy roads are cleared more quickly at higher speeds C. It makes other drivers concentrate harder on what they're doing D. It shortens the time pedestrians have to wait before crossing **Answer: A.** Rule 125 says inappropriate speeds are intimidating and deter people from walking, cycling or riding horses. It also warns that unsafe speed increases both the chance of causing a collision and how severe it is, and that driving too fast for the conditions is dangerous. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 125 **Q22. In England, Scotland and Wales, what is the minimum penalty for a speeding offence?** A. A £60 fine and 3 penalty points B. A £100 fine and 6 penalty points C. A £50 fine with no penalty points D. A £100 fine and 3 penalty points **Answer: D.** GOV.UK states that the minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points, although some drivers are offered a speed awareness course instead. Drivers within 2 years of passing their test have their licence revoked if they build up 6 or more points. Northern Ireland differs: its conditional offer of a fixed penalty is £60 and 3 points. Reference: GOV.UK — Speeding penalties; nidirect — Speed limits and penalties for breaking them **Q23. Can you be driving dangerously even if you don't intend to?** A. No — dangerous driving always requires a deliberate intention to cause harm B. No — it only counts as dangerous if somebody is actually injured C. Yes — you can drive dangerously or too fast without meaning to D. Only if you've been drinking alcohol or taking drugs beforehand **Answer: C.** Rule 144 says you MUST NOT drive dangerously, and reminds you that you may be driving dangerously or travelling too fast even if you don't mean to. What matters is the standard of your driving and the risk it creates, not your intentions. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 144 **Q24. You're waiting to turn right out of a side road. A driver approaching on the main road flashes their headlights. What should you do?** A. Use your own judgement and pull out only if you're sure it's safe B. Pull out straight away, because they're clearly telling you they'll let you go C. Flash your headlights back to them, then pull out D. Wait until every vehicle on the main road has passed **Answer: A.** Rule 111 warns never to assume that flashing headlights is an invitation to proceed. The signal may be meant for someone else, and other traffic, such as a motorcyclist overtaking that car, may not have stopped. Check for yourself and go only when it's safe. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 111 **Q25. At any time of day, when must you not sound your horn, unless another road user poses a danger?** A. When approaching a blind bend on a narrow country lane B. When overtaking a slow-moving vehicle on an open road C. When you're travelling faster than 50 mph D. While your vehicle is stationary on the road **Answer: D.** Rule 112 says you MUST NOT use your horn while stationary on the road, for example to hurry a queue or greet a friend, unless another road user poses a danger. Its purpose is to warn others of your presence while you're moving, never to express annoyance. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 112 **Q26. On a dual carriageway, a car moves into the lane in front of you, leaving you far too close behind it. What should you do?** A. Hold your speed so the driver learns not to cut in B. Ease off and drop back to open up a safe gap again C. Flash your headlights to show them they were too close D. Move out and overtake straight away to get back in front **Answer: B.** Rule 168 says drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone pulls into the space in front of you. Staying close to make a point, or retaliating, leaves you no room to stop if they brake. Your safety matters more than your pride. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 168 **Q27. In slow-moving traffic, why should you avoid stopping across the entrance to a side road?** A. It only matters if the side road is controlled by its own set of traffic lights B. Side road entrances are reserved for buses and emergency vehicles C. Blocking it stops traffic getting in and out and adds to congestion D. It makes no difference, because queuing traffic has priority **Answer: C.** Rule 151 asks you to allow access into and from side roads in slow-moving traffic, because blocking them adds to congestion. Leaving a gap costs you nothing when the queue ahead isn't moving, and lets other drivers get on with their journeys. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 151 **Q28. When does the Highway Code recommend 'merging in turn' where lanes reduce?** A. When vehicles are moving at very low speed, such as approaching roadworks B. On motorways at normal speeds, to keep the traffic flowing smoothly C. Only when a police officer or traffic officer directs you to do so D. Never — drivers in the closing lane should always wait for a large gap to appear **Answer: A.** Rule 134 recommends merging in turn when it's safe and appropriate and vehicles are travelling at very low speed, for example approaching roadworks or an incident, but not at high speed. Letting one vehicle in ahead of you keeps things fair and flowing. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 134 and 288 **Q29. You're driving along a single carriageway road when the car behind pulls out to overtake you. What should you do?** A. Speed up a little so that they have to pull back in behind you B. Move towards the centre line so they know to wait C. Brake firmly so they can get past you more quickly D. Keep a steady course, easing off if needed to let them by **Answer: D.** Rule 168 says that if a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let them pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass: speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 168 **Q30. You've been stuck behind a slow van on a winding road for several miles and you're getting frustrated. What should you do?** A. Take the first chance you get to pass, even if you're approaching a bend B. Drive close behind the van to encourage the driver to pull over C. Stay patient and overtake only when you can see it's safe and legal D. Sound your horn to ask the van driver to let you go by **Answer: C.** Rule 163 says overtake only when it's safe and legal, and rule 166 says don't overtake where there's any doubt or you can't see far enough ahead, such as near a bend or the brow of a hill. Frustration is never a reason to take that risk. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 163 and 166 **Q31. You're following a large lorry on a single carriageway road where the national speed limit applies. It's travelling below the limit for cars. Why does the Highway Code ask you to be patient?** A. The driver is probably lost and looking for a turning B. Larger vehicles are subject to lower speed limits than cars C. Lorries must always stay at least 20 mph below the posted limit D. Overtaking a lorry is illegal on a single carriageway **Answer: B.** Rule 222 asks you to be patient because larger vehicles are subject to lower speed limits than cars and motorcycles. The lorry may be driving perfectly legally, so hang back where you can see ahead, and overtake only when it's safe and legal to do so. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 222 **Q32. You're on a single-track road with passing places and want to stop for a few minutes to enjoy the view. What should you avoid doing?** A. Parking in one of the passing places B. Using a proper car park or lay-by off the road C. Checking your mirrors before you slow down D. Signalling before you pull in to stop **Answer: A.** Rule 156 says do not park in passing places. On a single-track road they're the only spots where vehicles can get past each other or let a driver behind overtake, so blocking one causes delays and can force others into risky reversing. Find a proper parking area instead. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 155 and 156 **Q33. A Highway Code rule tells you what you 'should' do, rather than what you 'MUST' do. Which of these is true about it?** A. It's only guidance, so it can never be used against you in court B. Ignoring it is an offence that carries 3 penalty points C. It applies only to learners and newly qualified drivers D. It can be used in evidence in court to help establish liability **Answer: D.** The Highway Code's introduction says rules worded 'MUST' or 'MUST NOT' are legal requirements, and breaking them is a criminal offence. Ignoring a 'should' rule won't in itself lead to prosecution, but the Code may be used in evidence in court proceedings under the Traffic Acts to establish liability. Reference: The Highway Code — Introduction (Wording of The Highway Code) **Q34. Why does the Highway Code remind drivers that people may have impaired sight, hearing or mobility?** A. So you can report anyone who crosses without looking B. Because such people are not allowed to walk in the road C. Because it may not be obvious, so you should allow for it D. So you know to use your horn to help them move faster **Answer: C.** Rule H1 asks all road users to remember that the people they meet may have impaired sight, hearing or mobility, and that this may not be obvious. A pedestrian who seems not to notice you may simply be unable to see or hear your vehicle. Reference: The Highway Code — rule H1 **Q35. A car with L plates ahead of you is waiting at a roundabout and lets several gaps go that you'd have taken. What should you do?** A. Wait patiently, as they may not yet be confident judging gaps B. Sound your horn to prompt them to take the next gap C. Move up close behind them to show that you're waiting D. Drive around them on the left-hand side and join the roundabout yourself **Answer: A.** Rule 217 asks you to be particularly patient with learner and young drivers, who may not be as skilful at anticipating and responding to events. Pressure from behind can push a learner into a rushed, unsafe decision that causes far more delay for everyone. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 217 **Q36. Besides the road users most at risk, which group does rule 204 say it's particularly important to be aware of?** A. Drivers of high-performance sports cars B. Learner and inexperienced drivers and riders C. Delivery drivers working to tight deadlines D. Drivers towing trailers or caravans **Answer: B.** Rule 204 names pedestrians (particularly children, older adults and disabled people), cyclists, horse riders and motorcyclists as most at risk, and says to be particularly aware of learner and inexperienced drivers and riders. Those who can cause the greatest harm carry the greatest responsibility. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 204 **Q37. You're driving down a steep single-track road with passing places. A car appears, coming up the hill towards you. What does the Highway Code advise?** A. Keep going, as traffic heading downhill has priority B. Flash your headlights to tell the other driver to reverse C. Speed up so you reach the next passing place before them D. Give way to them if you can, as they're coming uphill **Answer: D.** Rule 155 says that on single-track roads you should give way to road users coming uphill whenever you can. If necessary, reverse until you reach a passing place so the other vehicle can get by, and slow down when passing pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 155 **Q38. You're crawling along in a slow-moving queue, and a pedestrian is waiting to cross the road just in front of your car. What does the Highway Code suggest?** A. Close the gap to the car ahead so they can't step out B. Sound your horn so they know the traffic is moving C. Allow them to cross in front of you D. Edge forward slowly to show you won't be stopping **Answer: C.** Rule 151 gives advice for slow-moving traffic, including allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross in front of you. Holding back briefly costs you almost nothing in a queue, while closing the gap or edging forward can intimidate people and leave them with nowhere safe to cross. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 151 **Q39. Which of these could count as driving without reasonable consideration for other road users?** A. Staying in an overtaking lane when you don't need to B. Keeping to the left-hand lane on a clear dual carriageway C. Pulling in where it's safe to let a queue of traffic pass D. Leaving a two-second gap to the vehicle in front **Answer: A.** Rule 144 says you MUST NOT drive without reasonable consideration for other road users, and prosecutors list unnecessarily remaining in an overtaking lane as a possible example. Rules 137 and 264 say keep to the left-hand lane unless you're overtaking, and move back when it's safe. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 137, 144 and 264; CPS legal guidance — Road Traffic: Fatal Offences and Bad Driving **Q40. You passed your test a month ago in a small hatchback. A friend offers to lend you their powerful sports car for the weekend. What does the Highway Code's safety code for new drivers advise?** A. Drive it only on motorways, where there's more room B. Take an experienced passenger to warn you about your speed C. Use the extra power to make overtaking quicker and safer D. Get plenty of solo driving experience first **Answer: D.** Annex 8 says most new drivers have no experience of driving high-powered or sporty cars. Unless you learnt to drive in one, you need plenty of experience driving on your own before driving a more powerful car. It also warns that many serious collisions happen because the driver loses control, particularly on bends. Reference: The Highway Code — Annex 8 (safety code for new drivers) **Q41. At traffic lights, the driver in the next lane revs their engine and looks across as if inviting you to race. What should you do?** A. Accelerate hard when the lights change so they can't get ahead B. Ignore them and move off normally when it's safe C. Hold back until they've gone, then speed up to catch them D. Pull away quickly, then brake sharply to make them back off **Answer: B.** The safety code for new drivers says never show off or try to compete with other drivers, particularly if they are driving badly. Racing on public roads can amount to dangerous driving, which carries obligatory disqualification. Let them go and drive at your own safe pace. Reference: The Highway Code — Annex 8 (safety code for new drivers) **Q42. According to the Highway Code's safety code for new drivers, how many new drivers have some kind of collision in their first year?** A. About one in 100 B. About one in 50 C. As many as one in five D. As many as one in two **Answer: C.** Annex 8 says as many as one new driver in five has some kind of collision in their first year. Passing the test shows you have the skills, but experience, especially in anticipating other road users' behaviour, takes time to build, so keep developing it. Reference: The Highway Code — Annex 8 (safety code for new drivers) **Q43. You passed your driving test last month. Which further training does the Highway Code's safety code for new drivers suggest, which could also save you money on insurance?** A. Pass Plus B. A speed awareness course C. An advanced motorcycle course D. A second practical driving test **Answer: A.** Annex 8 suggests you could consider further training such as Pass Plus. It could save you money on your insurance as well as helping to reduce your risk of being involved in a collision, since many newly qualified drivers still lack experience. Reference: The Highway Code — Annex 8 (safety code for new drivers) **Q44. Which habit shows fuel-efficient, eco-safe driving, as assessed on the practical driving test?** A. Braking late and firmly to keep up good progress B. Planning well ahead to avoid unnecessary stopping C. Holding a low gear so the engine is ready to accelerate D. Coasting downhill in neutral to save fuel **Answer: B.** Examiners assess eco-driving by looking for planning well ahead to avoid unnecessary stopping, choosing appropriate gears, and avoiding heavy braking and over-revving. Coasting may seem economical, but the Highway Code warns it reduces control because engine braking is lost. Reference: GOV.UK — Understanding your driving test result: car driving test **Q45. Your car is climbing slowly up a long hill, and a queue of vehicles behind you wants to overtake. There's a crawler lane on your left. What should you do?** A. Stay in your lane, as crawler lanes are only for lorries B. Put your hazard lights on to show you're going slowly C. Speed up beyond the limit so the queue doesn't need to pass D. Move into the crawler lane so they can pass **Answer: D.** Rule 139 says climbing and crawler lanes are provided on some hills. Use one if you're driving a slow-moving vehicle or if there are vehicles behind you wishing to overtake. Watch for the signs and road markings that show the lane is about to end.
