What must you do when you come up to a red light at traffic signals?

Correct! Wrong!

You must stop at all times at a red traffic light unless directed through by a police officer.

You are on a three-laned road. There is one lane on your side of the road, and two lanes coming towards you. There's a dashed white line on your side of the centre line. Are you allowed to overtake?

Correct! Wrong!

You are allowed to overtake because the centre line on your side is not solid. Make sure it's safe to do so, though.

Can you turn right when you have this traffic signal?

Correct! Wrong!

You can turn right, but you must ensure it is safe and that there are no vehicles coming straight through the intersection.

What does this sign mean?

Correct! Wrong!

Only buses can stop in a bus stop. You may be fined if you park in a bus stop.

Can you turn left when you have this traffic signal?

Correct! Wrong!

You have a red light for straight through and left turning traffic. Only vehicles turning right can go.

What should you do when you are coming up to traffic signals and the signals change from green to yellow?

Correct! Wrong!

You have to judge whether you can stop or not. Yellow lights are carefully calculated to appear for long enough for you to stop if you are travelling at the speed limit in the wet.

When traffic is merging, what is a good rule to follow?

Correct! Wrong!

Merging like a zip is the easiest and safest rule for traffic to follow.

When can you use full beam headlights?

Correct! Wrong!

You can also use your full beam headlights in urban streets with streetlights if you are not following another vehicle and there are no other vehicles coming towards you, although it's only recommended for situations where you can't see clearly ahead and should be avoided if possible. When using full beam headlights when overtaking, ensure you don't dazzle the vehicle you are following. Using the full beam headlights allows you to see if there are any obstacles in the lane while overtaking. Using full beams in snow or fog will reduce your visibility as the light is reflected back at you.

When driving in foggy weather, what should you do?

Correct! Wrong!

You should dip your headlights, not drive with them on full beam as fog reflects the light back towards you. Also, use a rear fog light, but only until the fog clears as it can dazzle other drivers.

Are you allowed to pass on a solid yellow line?

Correct! Wrong!

You can pass a vehicle in this situation as long as you stay to the left of the yellow line. Your wheels must not cross the yellow line. This allows you to get past slow vehicles which would normally pull to the left to help you overtake, e.g. tractors.
