✍️ Sample DVSA Questions & Answers
1. You witness a motorcyclist involved in a collision. They are unconscious. Should you remove their helmet?
A motorcyclist's helmet should only be removed if it is absolutely necessary to maintain their airway, as removal risks aggravating a spinal injury.
2. Which group of road users does the 2022 Highway Code hierarchy place above motorcyclists?
The 2022 Highway Code hierarchy places pedestrians at the top, followed by cyclists, then horse riders — all above motorcyclists — reflecting the relative vulnerability of each group.
3. When riding past a school at pick-up time, a motorcyclist should:
Children near schools may dart into the road unpredictably; a motorcyclist's ability to swerve is limited, making speed reduction essential to ensure they can stop within the visible distance.
4. In a one-way street, where should you normally position your vehicle to turn right?
In a one-way street, move into the right-hand lane well before your turn. Unlike two-way roads where you stay near the centre line, one-way streets allow you to use the full carriageway width.
5. What is the purpose of the fork seals on a telescopic front suspension?
Fork seals retain the damping fluid in the fork legs; leaking seals allow oil to spray onto the brake disc — dramatically reducing front braking effectiveness — and degrade handling through reduced damping.
6. Within what time period must you report an accident to the police if you did not exchange details at the scene?
If you are involved in an accident where injury is caused or details are not exchanged at the scene, you must report it to the police within 24 hours at a police station.
