DKT Test (General Knowledge) #4

Is it legal to operate a car that tows many trailers?

No, not at all

Yes, if your vehicle has a towbar with an approved towing capacity

Yes, provided you have held a licence for two years

Yes, if the combined length of vehicle and trailers does not exceed 15 metres

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Cars aren't built to tow many trailers, so there's a risk of losing control.

You're driving at night with your high beams turned on. When should your headlights be dipped?

When within 200 meters of the vehicle ahead or an oncoming one

Never, you are allowed to drive with your lights on high beam at all times.

When within 200 meters of an oncoming vehicle only

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Other drivers may be dazzled by high beam headlights, making it harder for them to see the road and any potential hazards.

You come to a fork in the road and notice some loose gravel. You ought to

Slow down.

Speed up and drive over the gravel as quickly as possible.

Check the mirrors and change lanes.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Gravel has a lot less grip, so it's much simpler to lose control as you speed up.

What should you do if you're towing a caravan and need to pass another vehicle?

Keep at least 60 meters behind heavy vehicles or other vehicles towing the caravans

Stop immediately and let the faster vehicle overtake

Drive on the road shoulder

Drive at least 25kph below the speed limit

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Other vehicles overtaking you can safely pull in after overtaking you if you leave a space of at least 60 meters, progressively leapfrogging the line of slower vehicles. This law only applies to roadways without lamps.

You're making a right turn from one of two right-turn lanes. What are the best ways to use your indicators?

It is not necessary to indicate in this circumstance. If you think it will aid other road users, make a right-hand signal.

You are only required to indicate if there are other cars at the junction.

Indicate with your right-hand signal the same as any other right-hand turn.

You should not indicate at all because it might confuse other drivers.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Make it a practice to use your indicator every time you make a manoeuvre, even if it's the only way you can turn, because it informs other drivers of your intentions.

If you're approaching a construction zone and a traffic controller flashes a stop sign, you must:

Stop and then proceed if you think it is safe.

Stop your vehicle and follow the directions of the traffic controller.

Slow down and continue through the road works zone.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
When it is safe to proceed through the roadworks, the traffic controller will notify you. There could be vehicles coming from the opposite direction, or workers or machines could be blocking the lane.

Where on a vehicle must L or P plates be displayed:

Anywhere including on the dashboard.

Anywhere inside the windows but only if they are not tinted.

On the front and back of the exterior of the vehicle.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
They must be seen from the front and back of the vehicle and must not be hidden.

At railway crossings, stop signs or flashing lights should always be heeded because:

Car brakes often fail.

Trains are fast, heavy, and cannot stop quickly.

Pedestrians might be crossing.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
A train cannot stop quickly (it can take several hundred meters) or veer off the rails, thus if your car is on the tracks, it may not be able to dodge it.

If you can't stop an oncoming car that has crossed the center line and is heading straight towards you, you should:

Brake, look for room to the left, sound your horn and flash your lights.

Drive onto the wrong side of the road and hope the other vehicle does not do the same.

Slow down and hope that the driver will turn away.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
The more speed you can reduce and the further to your left you are, the better your chances of avoiding a collision, or at the very least minimizing its consequences.

Is it a violation to obstruct the view of a vehicle's license plates?

Yes, but it is legal for a towbar or bicycle rack to cover the rear number plate

Yes, but not if they are obscured by mud

Yes, at any time

No, you are allowed to cover your number plates if you want to

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
You must find another way to display the license plates if your vehicle has a bike rack or towbar that obscures them.

Highway markings:

Are only to be found in construction areas.

They are often red and blue in color.

Usually, they are unimportant.

Provide drivers with information.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Drivers can get information on highway markings. Markings assist drivers in placing their cars on the road correctly, alert drivers to safe passing areas, and warn drivers of impending circumstances.

Lack of sleep has the same impact on your capacity for safe driving as:

The effects of amphetamines.

The impact alcohol has.

The impact that rage has.

The effect of driving with teenagers.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Both being sleep deprived and drunk have an impact on your ability to drive safely. For instance, being awake for 18 hours has a similar effect on your ability to drive as 0.05 percent blood alcohol. A 0.10 percent blood alcohol level has the same impact on your ability to drive as being awake for 24 straight hours.

A driver who drives substantially slower than the posted speed limit:

An extremely careful driver.

It is possible that this will create a hazardous driving environment.

Has the right-of-way at all times.

Following vehicles should not be allowed to pass.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
It can be dangerous to drive more slowly than the traffic is moving. You must stop off the road and allow other cars to pass if you are driving so slowly on a two-lane, two-way street that traffic is backing up behind you. Only go drastically below the posted speed limit when it's necessary.

A two-lane road with a solid white line down the middle means:

Drivers are not permitted to pass while lanes are flowing in the same direction.

Drivers are not allowed to pass through lanes that are driving in the opposite direction.

Drivers are allowed to pass when it is safe to do so as lanes are travelling in opposing directions.

Drivers are allowed to pass when it is safe to do so as long as both lanes are traveling in the same direction.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
To separate traffic traveling in the same direction, white lines are utilized. Drivers are not permitted to pass on solid lines.

You can avoid being sleepy on long journeys by:

Turning on the radio in your car.

Taking breaks at regular intervals.

Slowing down.

As you drive, swivel your gaze from side to side.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
You should plan frequent stops if you want to avoid becoming sleepy on lengthy journeys. Even if you don't feel exhausted, allow yourself some time to rest and stretch.

Highway hypnosis is a condition that can affect drivers and is caused by:

There are frequent rest stops.

You slept too much the night before your trip.

Long periods of time spent staring at the road.

Expressways for short distances.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
When you stop actively scanning in front of, behind, and surrounding your car for extended periods of time, you enter "highway hypnosis." This may cause you to lose focus and increase your risk of colliding with oncoming traffic that is already slowing or stopping.

An inattentive driver is one who:

Carries on a conversation with a passenger while driving while maintaining eye contact.

Just keeps an eye on the car in front of them.

Drives while staring at objects in the road or daydreaming.

All of the above.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Avoid becoming distracted while driving by gazing at other road users, rummaging around in your car, reading, sightseeing, or daydreaming. At regular intervals, keep your eyes on the road, check your mirrors, and glance at the instrument cluster. Creating these safe driving habits can help you stay focused on the road.

Avoid following other vehicles too closely because:

The road may not be visible between the vehicles.

Turn signals on the car could be hidden from view.

If the car in front of you suddenly stops moving or slows down, you might not have enough time to stop.

You can miss the brake lights of the opposing vehicle.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
You might not have enough time to avoid an accident if you follow another car too closely and it abruptly slows down or stops.

What should you do if you are about to access a roadway from a private road?

To alert other drivers that you are entering the road, honk your horn.

Give way to cars on the road and pedestrians.

To warn other drivers, stop with a portion of your car on the road.

Drive out quickly in order to integrate smoothly with traffic.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
You must give way to pedestrians and other traffic on the road when entering it from a driveway or private road.

When sharing the road with a truck, keep in mind that trucks generally:

Downgrades take less time to complete than smaller vehicles.

Require a lower turning radius than smaller vehicles.

Stopping distances are greater for larger cars than for smaller vehicles.

Passing up an incline takes less time than smaller cars.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Trucks require more space to stop than smaller vehicles do due to their size.
