Will I Pass My Driving Test Quiz

The question that all learner drivers would like to know is of course ‘Will I pass my driving test?’ So what better than to go through the Will I pass my driving test quiz.

Ok, so it’s not going to tell you if you are going to pass or fail. There’s so many variables for the practical driving test that can determine a pass or fail, but what this quiz will do is to test your knowledge on a few more obscure situations that can easily fail a driving test.

In fact, the quiz is based around many of the common reasons for driving test failures each and every year with many of them being in the DVSA top 10 reasons for failure.

Simply run through the practical driving test quiz, choose your answer and select the ‘Check’ button to see if you have selected the correct answer. Then continue with the next question.

  1. Question 1 of 18
    1. Question

    It’s important that you remember to take one of the items detailed below to your driving test. If you don’t, the driving test will be terminated. Which one is it?

    Correct

    You can continue with your driving test. Essentially you need only to take your provisional licence, though it may prove beneficial to take along your theory test pass certificate and a print of your driving test booking confirmation in case of any unforeseen issues. You can leave your hamster at home.

    Incorrect

    Your driving test has been terminated. Your provisional driving licence provides proof of identification. Without this, your test will not continue.

  2. Question 2 of 18
    2. Question

    In terms of driving, what is a blind spot?

    Correct

    Many road accidents occur due to drivers not checking the blind spot. Always check the appropriate side blind spot before changing lanes or before making a change of direction where your actions may impact on other road users. See blind spot for further information.

    Incorrect

    The blind spot are areas to the side and rear of your vehicle that cannot be seen in your mirrors. Many road accidents occur due to drivers not checking the blind spot. Always check the appropriate side blind spot before changing lanes or before making a change of direction where your actions may impact on other road users. See blind spot for further information.

  3. Question 3 of 18
    3. Question

    The examiner has asked you to pull over at the side of the road. Before moving off, you should:

    Correct

    Well done! Many driving tests are failed for not moving off correctly.

    Incorrect

    You just failed! Safety observational checks must always be the last action taken before moving off. If you forget to prepare the car after safety checks, get the car prepared to move, then run through the safety checks again and you’ll be fine. Moving off and not performing the appropriate safety checks beforehand is in the official DVSA top 10 test failures each and every year. See moving off for further help.

  4. Question 4 of 18
    4. Question

    Making a left turn on the driving test

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You are making a left turn from a busy major road. From the list below, just before committing to the left turn, you should check:

    Correct

    Busy urban roads where cyclists are present will require you taking a final look into the left door mirror to ensure no cyclists are riding up alongside you. If they are, slow down or stop to allow them to pass before making the turn. If you are not completely sure it’s safe to turn, check also your left-side blind spot before committing to the turn. Use of mirrors, or rather a lack of use of mirrors is the 2nd reason for all DVSA test failures on almost each year. See left and right turns for further advice.

    Incorrect

    Whilst there’s no particular harm in checking this, you have to assess the most important procedure at any given time. Busy urban roads where cyclists are present will require you taking a final look into the left door mirror to ensure no cyclists are riding up alongside you. If they are, slow down or stop to allow them to pass before making the turn. If you are not completely sure it’s safe to turn, check also your left-side blind spot before committing to the turn. Use of mirrors, or rather a lack of use of mirrors is the 2nd reason for all DVSA test failures on almost each year. See left and right turns for further advice.

  5. Question 5 of 18
    5. Question

    Overtaking on a solid white line

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Based on this diagram, what should you do?

    Correct

    Excellent! You may legally cross the solid white line, overtaking the horse providing it is safe for yourself, the horse and rider and any other road users.

    It is illegal to cross a continuous solid white line if the solid line is on your side of the road, except under certain conditions. You are permitted to straddle or cross a continuous solid white line to enter a side road or property, to manoeuvre round a stationary vehicle blocking your side of the road, to overtake cyclists, a horse or a road works vehicle moving at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less. See double white lines for further information.

  6. Question 6 of 18
    6. Question

     

     

    No Waiting road sign

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You intend on parking up on the left and see this sign. What does it mean?

    Correct

    That’s right! No waiting signs mean that you are permitted to momentarily stop to allow passengers to enter or exit the vehicle for example, but then must continue with your journey.

    Incorrect

    No waiting signs mean that you are permitted to momentarily stop to allow passengers to enter or exit the vehicle for example, but then must continue with your journey. For further information, see no stopping and no waiting signs.

  7. Question 7 of 18
    7. Question

    It’s a perfect clear dry day for your driving test and you are out with your examiner in your instructors brand new Ford. The examiner asks you to pull over on the left and explains that they wish for you to demonstrate the emergency stop. After the examiners signal to stop, you intend on:

    Correct

    Well done! If you are using a vehicle made after 2004 it will have anti-lock brakes as standard and if the roads are dry, there is no chance of the wheels locking and a loss of control occurring regardless of how hard you hit the brake pedal. For further information see the emergency stop tutorial.

    Incorrect

    If you are using a vehicle made after 2004 it will have anti-lock brakes as standard and if the roads are dry, there is no chance of the wheels locking and a loss of control occurring regardless of how hard you hit the brake pedal. Progressive braking is a technique that should be applied to normal braking procedures and not the emergency stop. See braking techniques.

    You should never waste time checking the mirrors as the examiner will ensure it is safe to stop.

    Whilst braking, especially harshly, all weight is shifted forward. Keep both hands on the wheel to ensure you can remain secure in your seat.

    The clutch must be depressed just before you stop and not before the brake else braking efficiency is reduced. See engine braking.

    For further information see the emergency stop tutorial.

  8. Question 8 of 18
    8. Question

    As a novice driver, it can be difficult to judge a safe distance from the vehicle in front whilst driving. An easy method is to:

    Correct

    Excellent! The 2 second rule offers an easy method for establishing a safe thinking and braking (stopping) distance from the vehicle in front should you need to stop in an emergency. Remember though, it becomes the 4 second rule when it’s wet and much longer if icy. See 2 second rule for further information.

  9. Question 9 of 18
    9. Question

    Parked cars on both sides of the road

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    With cars parked along both sides of the road, which car has priority, the green or yellow car?

    Correct

    That’s correct.

    Incorrect

    If there are parked cars on your side of the road, you must give way to oncoming vehicles and the opposite applies to oncoming vehicles where they have parked cars on their side of the road. With vehicles parked on both sides of the road, no one has priority. Either vehicle must use the nearest available gap on their side of the road to pull into. See passing parked cars for further information.

  10. Question 10 of 18
    10. Question

    Waiting inside a yellow box junction

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You’re in the red car intending to turn right at this crossroads. Based on the image, would you view your current position as:

    Correct

    Correct. Never enter the yellow box area of a junction unless your intended exit from the box is clear. Yellow boxes are typically placed within busy junctions where it is an offence to wait inside the box due to your exit not being clear. By doing so, you will prevent traffic flow and increase congestion. It is however acceptable to wait inside the yellow box for passing traffic to clear, but only if your exit is clear. See box junction for further information.

    Incorrect

  11. Question 11 of 18
    11. Question

    Minimum speed limit 30mph sign

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Whilst driving, you see this sign. You must:

    Correct

    That’s correct! Minimum speed limits are rarely used on UK roads, but where used, they are placed in such locations so to maintain a free flow of traffic to prevent ‘bottlenecks’ and congestion. See minimum speed limit signs for more help.

    Incorrect

    These signs are applicable to all road vehicles. Minimum speed limits are rarely used on UK roads, but where used, they are placed in such locations so to maintain a free flow of traffic to prevent ‘bottlenecks’ and congestion. See minimum speed limit signs for more help.

  12. Question 12 of 18
    12. Question

    Driving in the hatched area

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Driving along this road, you intend on turning right. The queue is stationary waiting for traffic to pass. Stopping behind the last car in the queue (red car), where should you position your vehicle?

    Correct

    Incorrect

    Hatched or chevron road markings contained within a continuous solid line must not be entered, whilst those that are contained within a broken dashed line can legally be entered. Hatched road markings are used to separate traffic flows and those contained inside dashed broken lines should be avoided unless it is safer to enter. Based on the situation in the image, it would be safer and convenient for other road users if you stopped behind the red car inside the hatched area. See hatched road marking for more information.

  13. Question 13 of 18
    13. Question

    Unmarked crossroads

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You will often find these types of junctions on very quiet residential streets or along country roads. Who has right of way, the red car turning right or the yellow car following the road ahead?

    Correct

    Incorrect

    This type of junction is a crossroads, or more specifically an unmarked crossroads. This means that it’s not controlled by traffic lights and has no road markings or signs to dictate who has right of way. At an unmarked crossroads, no one has right of way. Always approach slowly and with extreme caution. For a full explanation of the various types of crossroads, see crossroads junctions.

  14. Question 14 of 18
    14. Question

    Reversing out of a bay


    During the forward drive into a bay manoeuvre, you are about to begin reversing. The very last thing you should do before reversing the car is?

    Correct

    Incorrect

    You should always physically look in the direction you intend on moving, before moving the vehicle. This applies to all manoeuvres and general driving. You can see more by physically looking rather than relying on mirrors alone. Also, you will fail the driving test if you do not do this! See driving test manoeuvres for further information.

  15. Question 15 of 18
    15. Question

    You are approaching a large roundabout with multiple lanes. You realise that you’re in the incorrect lane for your intended destination. You should:

    Correct

    Incorrect

    Well, you can stay in the incorrect lane if you wish, but it’s a bit daft if you don’t make some form of attempt to rectify the situation. Before attempting to change lanes, you must always check your mirrors initially, followed by the blind spot and then signal your intention if all is clear. Always check the applicable side blind spot before changing any lane. If you feel that changing lanes is to hazardous, stay where you are and the examiner will provide an alternative route.

  16. Question 16 of 18
    16. Question

    The examiner has asked you to demonstrate the reverse parking manoeuvre. During the manoeuvre you have lost your bearings and are unable to see where the kerb is in relation to your position. What are you going to do?

    Correct

    Incorrect

    Each and every year, the reverse park manoeuvre and a lack of control is in the official DVSA top 10 reasons for test failures (hitting the kerb). All manoeuvres, not just the reverse park are based on real-life driving situations and as such, you often have to readjust the position of the vehicle for accuracy. If you find that you have lost sight of where you are in relation to the kerb, then firstly, you’re doing it too fast. Slow it down and if necessary, stop the vehicle when looking around (this means you’ll not lose any ground when performing observations). Safely (observational checks first) move forward to a position that once again allows you to see the kerb and start again from that position. Remember though, slow it down. See driving test manoeuvres for further information.

  17. Question 17 of 18
    17. Question

    Response to signals (traffic lights) is consistently within the official DVSA top 10 reasons for test failures. Why?

    Correct

    Anticipation and planning is the most important aspect of driving throughout your lifetime. Anticipate a situation, for example you see up ahead that traffic lights have been on green for some time, you anticipate them changing as you approach. Planning ahead you decide to check your mirrors and ease off the speed as you approach the lights in preparation to stop (if necessary). You can anticipate many situations and plan accordingly. For example, on approaching roundabouts, look for other roads entering the roundabout and the vehicles on these roads will help you anticipate whether you’ll need to stop or continue. Or down the road there’s a pedestrian crossing with people who are waiting. You will anticipate the lights changing before you pass and can plan for this.

  18. Question 18 of 18
    18. Question

    Finally, can you guess which is the official DVSA number 1 reason for test failures each and every year?

    Correct

    Yep, junctions and a lack of appropriate observation is the number 1 reason for test failures each and every year. The reason is of course a lack of anticipation and planning. Junctions vary considerably based on type of junctions, size and how busy they are. In good time, you need to locate the junction. Look for road signs, looking ahead, check for road markings, cars crossing you path ahead or anything else that signifies a junction is ahead. You will of course need to run through the MSPSL routine but equally importantly, anticipate whether the junction is closed (you can’t see much of the road you intend on joining) or open (you can clearly see the road you intend on joining). Based on this, you plan an appropriate speed and whether you need to stop or continue without stopping if clear.

    Before you have crossed the junction line, you will of at least needed to have looked right, left and right again and given yourself time to react to the situation. If this all seems too rushed, then you’re traveling too fast. See types of junctions for further advice.
