Indian Driving Licence Test 6

Question 1

From where on the road should right hand turns be initiated?

Accepted Answer

As close to the center line as possible

Answer

In countries where traffic drives on the left, when preparing to make a right-hand turn (which involves crossing oncoming traffic), you should position your vehicle as close to the center line as possible. This allows for a wider, safer turning radius and helps prevent other vehicles from trying to pass you on the right while you are turning, improving safety.

Question 2

You will be in the best position to deal with emergency steering situations if your hands are in what position?

Accepted Answer

9 and 3

Answer

The '9 and 3' hand position on the steering wheel provides optimal control for emergency steering maneuvers. This position allows for a full range of motion without crossing your arms, enabling quick and precise adjustments to avoid hazards. It also helps prevent injury from airbag deployment by keeping your hands clear of the steering wheel's center.

Question 3

You must not overtake another vehicle within what distance of an intersection?

Accepted Answer

30 m

Answer

Overtaking another vehicle near an intersection is extremely dangerous due to reduced visibility and the potential for conflicting traffic movements. A minimum distance of 30 meters (approximately 100 feet) before an intersection is generally mandated to ensure safety. This allows drivers clear sightlines and sufficient time to react to turning vehicles or pedestrians.

Question 4

At a junction you see a solid yellow box with diagonal hatching. You may not enter this box unless…?

Accepted Answer

You can definitely exit the other side

Answer

A yellow box junction is designed to prevent gridlock at intersections by keeping them clear. You must not enter the box unless your exit road or lane is clear, and you can pass completely through without stopping. Entering the box and stopping within it obstructs traffic flow, especially for vehicles turning from other directions.

Question 5

For normal driving on a six lane highway with a dividing median, which lane should you choose?

Accepted Answer

The central lane

Answer

On a multi-lane highway with a dividing median, the central lane is generally considered the safest and most appropriate for normal cruising. This position keeps you away from merging traffic on the left and faster-moving traffic or exit ramps on the right (assuming left-hand traffic). It allows for a smoother and more consistent speed, reducing the need for frequent lane changes.
