ADI Road Procedure & Highway Code 3

Question 1

When using the MSM (Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre) routine, the signal should be given:

Accepted Answer

After checking mirrors and in good time to give adequate warning

Answer

In the MSM routine, mirrors are checked first to assess the situation; the signal is then given in time for other road users to react before the manoeuvre begins.

Question 2

A driver should use the PSL (Position-Speed-Look) routine primarily when:

Accepted Answer

Approaching and negotiating junctions, bends and hazards

Answer

PSL (Position, Speed, Look) is applied when approaching any hazard, particularly junctions and bends, to ensure the vehicle is in the right place, at the right speed and the driver has the best possible view.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of defensive driving as taught in ADI training?

Accepted Answer

Anticipating and responding to hazards to reduce risk and avoid collisions

Answer

Defensive driving involves reading the road ahead, anticipating the actions of other road users and positioning and adjusting speed to maintain a safety margin against developing hazards.

Question 4

Under the Highway Code, who has priority at a roundabout?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles already on the roundabout

Answer

Rule 185 of the Highway Code requires vehicles approaching a roundabout to give way to traffic already circulating on the roundabout, unless road markings indicate otherwise.

Question 5

When should you NOT use front fog lights?

Accepted Answer

When visibility is better than 100 metres

Answer

Rule 226 of the Highway Code states that front fog lights must only be used when visibility is seriously reduced (less than 100 m); using them otherwise dazzles other drivers and is an offence.
