DKT Car Driver Knowledge Test – Speed Limits

Question 1

This sign means you must:

Accepted Answer

Share this road with other people and vehicles and not exceed 10 km\/h.

Answer

This sign indicates a Shared Zone, which is designed for pedestrians and vehicles to share the road safely. The 10 km/h speed limit is enforced to ensure that drivers can react quickly to pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users. This prioritizes safety in these shared spaces.

Question 2

You are driving in a 70 km\/h zone, keeping to the limit. Several vehicles pass you. One of your passengers suggests you should keep up with the other traffic. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Decide your speed yourself, based on the speed limit and the conditions.

Answer

While it's important to flow with traffic, you are ultimately responsible for your own speed. You must always drive within the posted speed limit and adjust your speed based on current road, weather, and traffic conditions. Prioritizing safety over keeping up with others, especially if they are speeding, is crucial.

Question 3

Speed limit signs (such as the one shown) tell drivers:

Accepted Answer

The maximum speed they are allowed to drive.

Answer

Speed limit signs indicate the absolute maximum speed legally permitted on that stretch of road under ideal conditions. Drivers must never exceed this limit, as it is a legal requirement. You should often drive below it if conditions such as weather, traffic, or road hazards warrant a slower speed for safety.

Question 4

Having a radar detector or jammer in your car is against the law:

Accepted Answer

No matter what your reason is.

Answer

Radar detectors and jammers are illegal in many jurisdictions because they interfere with law enforcement's ability to detect speeding vehicles. Their use is prohibited regardless of intent or whether they are active. This is because they undermine traffic safety regulations and enforcement efforts.

Question 5

Where there are no speed limit signs, the speed limit is 100 km\/h, unless:

Accepted Answer

There are street lights along the road.

Answer

In many regions, the default speed limit in built-up areas, typically indicated by the presence of street lights, is 50 km/h (or similar, depending on jurisdiction). If there are no specific speed limit signs, and the road has street lights, it generally implies a lower urban speed limit than the open road 100 km/h limit.
