RTT - Riding Theory Rules of the Road Questions and Answers

Question 1

You are riding in the left lane of a multi-lane road and wish to turn right at an upcoming junction. What is the correct procedure to follow?

Accepted Answer

Signal your intention early, check your mirrors and blind spot, then filter across the lanes one at a time when it is safe to do so.

Answer

The correct and safe procedure for changing multiple lanes is to do it progressively. You must signal your intention early to inform other road users, check mirrors and blind spots for each lane change, and only move over when it is safe, treating each lane as a separate maneuver.

Question 2

When approaching a junction with traffic lights that are out of order and flashing an amber light, what should a motorcyclist do?

Accepted Answer

Proceed with caution and be prepared to stop and give way to traffic on the major road or from the right.

Answer

When traffic lights are flashing amber, they are considered out of order. Riders must slow down, treat the junction as an uncontrolled one, and be prepared to stop and give way to traffic as required, typically to those on the major road or vehicles approaching from the right.

Question 3

Which of the following is a mandatory piece of safety equipment for a pillion rider in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

An approved safety helmet

Answer

According to Singapore's road traffic rules, it is a legal requirement for both the rider and the pillion rider to wear an approved safety helmet that conforms to the specified standards (e.g., SS9:2014). The other items are recommended but not legally mandatory.

Question 4

You are riding behind a large lorry. Which action is most important for ensuring your safety?

Accepted Answer

Increasing your following distance to stay out of the lorry's large blind spots and to see the road ahead.

Answer

Heavy vehicles like lorries have large blind spots directly behind them. Maintaining a significant following distance (e.g., a four-second rule) allows you to see the road ahead and ensures the lorry driver can see you in their mirrors. Riding too close is extremely dangerous.

Question 5

While riding on a wet road, especially during the first 20-30 minutes of rainfall, you should:

Accepted Answer

Reduce speed and increase your following distance significantly.

Answer

The initial period of rainfall is particularly dangerous because the water mixes with oil, grease, and dirt on the road surface, creating a very slippery film. Riders must reduce speed and increase the distance from the vehicle in front to allow for a much longer stopping distance.
