✍️ Sample BTT Questions & Answers

1. When reversing your vehicle, what is the greatest risk to pedestrians?
✓ Limited visibility behind the vehicle, especially for small children

When reversing, your visibility is severely limited. Small children can easily be hidden behind the vehicle, making them extremely vulnerable.

2. What does the Green Man Countdown Timer help pedestrians with?
✓ Seeing how much time remains to complete their crossing

The countdown timer shows how many seconds remain for pedestrians to cross safely. It helps them decide whether they have enough time to start or finish crossing.

3. When can you drive in an emergency lane on the expressway?
✓ Only in a genuine emergency such as a vehicle breakdown

The emergency lane (road shoulder) may only be used for genuine emergencies such as a vehicle breakdown. Using it to beat traffic is illegal.

4. At a T-junction with no signs or markings, who has right of way?
✓ The vehicle on the major road (top of the T)

Vehicles on the through road (top of the T) have priority. The vehicle emerging from the minor road must give way.

5. A sign showing a red circle with '6.1m' and an arch shape restricts what?
✓ Vehicle height exceeding 6.1 metres

This sign indicates a height restriction. Vehicles taller than 6.1 metres are not permitted to pass through (e.g., under a bridge or flyover).

6. You are turning into a side road and see pedestrians crossing that road. Who has right of way?
✓ The pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into

Pedestrians crossing a road that you are turning into have right of way. You must wait for them to complete their crossing before turning.
