FTT Expressway Driving 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: If you accidentally miss your exit on a Singapore expressway, what is the correct action?
- Reverse along the shoulder to reach the exit
- Make a U-turn at the nearest gap in the central divider
- Continue driving to the next available exit (Correct answer)
- Stop on the expressway and wait for assistance
Correct answer: Continue driving to the next available exit
You must continue to the next exit, as reversing or making U-turns on an expressway is illegal and creates extreme danger.
Question 2: After completing an overtaking manoeuvre on an expressway, you should:
- Remain in the overtaking lane to maintain your speed
- Return to the left lane as soon as it is safe to do so (Correct answer)
- Signal continuously until you reach your exit
- Slow down and check your mirrors for 30 seconds before moving left
Correct answer: Return to the left lane as soon as it is safe to do so
After overtaking, you must promptly return to the left lane to keep the right lane clear for other vehicles.
Question 3: What is the correct sequence before changing lanes on an expressway?
- Sound the horn and accelerate into the new lane
- Check mirrors, signal intention, check blind spot, then change lanes (Correct answer)
- Flash headlights twice to warn following drivers, then move over
- Reduce speed to 50 km/h before making any lane change
Correct answer: Check mirrors, signal intention, check blind spot, then change lanes
The mirror-signal-blind spot check sequence must be completed before any lane change to ensure other road users are aware of your movement.
Question 4: The Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system deducts charges from your In-Vehicle Unit when you:
- Travel more than 10 km on any expressway
- Pass under an active ERP gantry during its charging hours (Correct answer)
- Enter any tunnel in Singapore
- Drive on expressways between midnight and 6 am
Correct answer: Pass under an active ERP gantry during its charging hours
ERP charges are deducted electronically when your vehicle passes under an active ERP gantry during the designated charging period.
Question 5: When you see flashing amber lights and traffic cones narrowing your lane on an expressway, you should:
- Accelerate to clear the work zone as quickly as possible
- Reduce speed and be prepared to stop or give way if necessary (Correct answer)
- Change to the rightmost lane immediately without checking mirrors
- Sound your horn to alert road workers to your presence
Correct answer: Reduce speed and be prepared to stop or give way if necessary
Flashing amber lights and lane narrowing indicate a road work zone, requiring reduced speed and heightened alertness for workers and equipment.
Question 6: What should you do if you feel drowsy while driving on an expressway?
- Open windows and turn up the radio to stay alert
- Increase speed to reach your destination sooner
- Exit at the nearest exit and rest before continuing your journey (Correct answer)
- Pull over on the emergency lane shoulder and take a short nap
Correct answer: Exit at the nearest exit and rest before continuing your journey
You should exit at the nearest exit and rest properly, as drowsy driving impairs reaction time and judgement as severely as drink driving.
Question 7: A broken-down vehicle is partially blocking a lane on the expressway. You should:
- Stop behind it and help the driver push it to safety
- Slow down early, change to a clear lane, and drive past carefully (Correct answer)
- Maintain normal speed and sound your horn as you pass
- Reverse to the nearest emergency telephone for help
Correct answer: Slow down early, change to a clear lane, and drive past carefully
Slowing down and changing lanes early gives you and others a safe margin to pass the obstruction without causing a secondary collision.
