Worked examples: how to reason through BTT questions
These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.
Example 1
Question: A vehicle is exiting a driveway onto the main road. Who has right of way?
- The vehicle exiting the driveway
- Vehicles and pedestrians on the main road
- The faster vehicle
- Whoever arrives first
Answer: B. Vehicles and pedestrians on the main road
Explanation:
The correct answer is that vehicles and pedestrians on the main road have right of way. A driveway is a minor entry point, so the driver joining the road must wait for a safe gap and give way to traffic and people already there.
The vehicle exiting does not get priority, because it is the one entering the flow of traffic. The faster vehicle does not get priority either: speed never creates right of way, and a faster vehicle still has to be driven safely. Whoever arrives first is wrong because arrival order is not the rule at a driveway. Priority depends on who is already on the road.
The general rule: when you join a road from a side entrance, give way to everything already on it.
Example 2
Question: What does a chevron sign (black and white arrows in a V-shape) on a road indicate?
- Road narrows
- Sharp bend or curve ahead
- Merge point
- Overtaking allowed
Answer: B. Sharp bend or curve ahead
Explanation:
The correct answer is a sharp bend or curve ahead. Chevron signs are placed along the outside of a bend, and the arrows point in the direction the road turns, so you can see the shape of the curve early.
Road narrows is wrong because a narrowing road has its own warning sign. Merge point is wrong because merging is shown with a different symbol. Overtaking allowed is wrong because chevrons say nothing about overtaking, and a sharp bend is a place where you should be cautious about it. Overtaking is governed by road markings and visibility.
The general rule: when you see chevrons, slow down before the bend, follow the arrows and keep to your lane.
Example 3
Question: What does a white rectangular sign with a red diagonal stripe across a speed number mean?
- Minimum speed limit begins
- Speed limit no longer applies
- Recommended speed
- Speed camera zone ends
Answer: B. Speed limit no longer applies
Explanation:
The correct answer is that the speed limit no longer applies. A red diagonal stripe across a sign is the usual way of showing that the restriction on the sign has ended, so the earlier limit stops at that point.
Minimum speed limit begins is wrong because the stripe cancels a rule instead of starting one. Recommended speed is wrong because the stripe does not turn the number into a suggestion; it removes the restriction. Speed camera zone ends is wrong because the sign is about a speed limit, not about enforcement cameras.
The general rule: a diagonal stripe means the thing shown on the sign has ended. Keep driving to the conditions and to any new sign that follows.
How to use these practice tests
Start with the official material from the Traffic Police and your driving centre. Read each content area listed above so you know what the test covers, including the areas where we have no dedicated practice set.
Then work through our topic sets in short sessions. Begin with road signs and signals, since signs are easy to mix up and easy to improve on. Move to right of way rules, lane discipline, traffic light rules, pedestrian safety and speed limits and zones. Add parking rules and regulations when you are ready.
After every set, write down each question you got wrong and the rule behind the right answer. Go back to the official handbook for that rule instead of just memorising our wording. Repeat a set only after you have reviewed your mistakes.
