Free NZ Car Driving Intersection Questions and Answers — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which vehicle must give way?
- Red car (Correct answer)
- Blue car
Correct answer: Red car
Where two vehicles are facing each other at an intersection with no signs or signals or the same signs or signals (in this case green traffic signals) a vehicle turning right must give way to a vehicle turning left.
Question 2: Does the driver of the blue car have to give way?
Correct answer: No
Both cars have a green light, but the turning car (the red car), must give way to the car travelling straight through (the blue car).
Question 3: Does the driver of the blue car have to give way?
Correct answer: Yes
The blue car must stop at the Give Way sign and give way to the red car.
Question 4: You're driving the orange car and want to follow the arrow. Do you have to indicate left?
Correct answer: Yes
You are leaving the road's course and turning into another road, therefore you must indicate left, even though your direction is fundamentally straight on.
Question 5: Does the driver of the blue car have to give way?
Correct answer: Yes
The blue car is at a stop sign and therefore must give way to the red car which is travelling straight through the intersection.
Question 6: You're approaching this roundabout and want to follow the arrow. Do you need to indicate?
- Yes - don't indicate as you approach the roundabout, but indicate left after you've gone past the first exit
- Yes - indicate right as you approach the roundabout, then indicate left as you go past the first exit (Correct answer)
- No - it's almost a straight line
Correct answer: Yes - indicate right as you approach the roundabout, then indicate left as you go past the first exit
This one is tricky, but the rules state that if you are passing more than 'halfway' around the roundabout, technically you are turning right, therefore you need to indicate right when approaching the roundabout and left as you pass the exit just before the one you want to take. In this case the road can't really be considered to be going straight through and it's not obviously a continuation of the road you've arrived on.
Question 7: Does the driver of the blue car have to give way?
Correct answer: No
The red car is coming from the blue car's right but it's at a give way sign, therefore must give way to the blue car.
Question 8: Which vehicle must give way?
- Red car (Correct answer)
- Blue truck
Correct answer: Red car
Where two vehicles are facing each other at an intersection with the same signs or signals or no signs or signals (as in this case) a vehicle turning right must give way to a vehicle turning left.
Question 9: You are driving the orange car. Do you need to indicate to follow the black arrow?
Correct answer: No
You are following the natural course of the road and therefore don't need to indicate.
Question 10: Does the driver of the blue car have to give way?
Correct answer: Yes
The blue car must stop at the stop sign and give way to the red car.
Question 11: Does the driver of the blue car have to give way?
Correct answer: No
The red car is turning from a give way sign at a t-intersection and therefore must give way to the blue car which is travelling straight through.
