Too true 😁

TOP 10 TOUGHEST THEORY QUESTIONS IN THE ALL IN ONE APP;



1) Where would you see a contra-flow bus lane?

A; on a dual carriageway

B; on a roundabout

C; on an urban motor way

D; on a one-way street



Answer; D) On a one-way street



The traffic permitted to use a contraflow lane travels in the opposite direction to other traffic in the other lanes on the road.



2) What does it mean if your vehicle keeps bouncing after you sharply press down and release on the body work over the wheel?

A; the tyres are worn

B; the tyres are underinflated

C; the vehicle is on soft ground

D; the shock absorbers are worn



Answer; D) the shock absorbers are worn



If you find that your vehicle bounces as you drive around a corner or sharp bend, the shock absorbers might be worn. To test them, sharply press down and release above each wheel. If the vehicle continues to bounce take it to be checked by a qualified mechanic.



3) How much more fuel will you use when driving at 70mph compared to driving at 50mph?

A; 5%

B; 15%

C; 75%

D; 100%



Answer; B; 15%



About 15% more because your vehicle will use less fuel if you avoid heavy acceleration. The higher the engine revs the more fuel you will use. Using the same gear and covering the same distance a vehicle travelling about 70mph will use about 15% more fuel than it would use at 50mph. However, don’t travel so slowly that you inconvenience or endanger other road users.



4) What safety device must be fitted to a trailer braking system?

A; Stabilizer

B; jockey wheel

C; corner steadies

D; breakaway cable



Answer; D) Breakaway cable

In the event of the trailer becoming detached from the towing vehicle, the breakaway cable activates the trailer brakes before snapping. This allows the towing vehicle to get free of the trailer and out of danger.



5) You’re looking for somewhere to park at night. When may you park on the right hand side of the road?

A; when you’re in a one-way street

B; when you have your side lights on

C; when you’re more than 10m from a junction

D; when you’re under a lamppost



A; When you’re in a one-way street



Red rear reflectors show up when headlights shine on them. These are useful when you’re parked at night but they’ll only work when you park in the same direction as the traffic flow. Normally, you should park on the left. But in a one-way street you may also park on the right hand side of the road.



6) What information would be shown in a triangular road sign?

A; Road narrows

B; ahead only

C; keep left

D; minimum speed



Answer; A) Road narrows



A triangular sign is a warning sign, If you draw a triangle in the air and then come out at the sides it turns into a ‘w’ shape – this will help learners to remember that triangular signs are warning signs. Warning signs are there to warn you of potential hazards on the road ahead.



7) You see double white lines along the centre of the road. When may you park on the left?

A; when the line nearest you is broken

B; when there are no yellow lines

C; to pick up or set down passengers

D; during daylight hours only



Answer; C) to pick up or set down passengers



You mustn’t park or stop on a road with double white lines even when one of the lines is broken. Except to pick up or set down passengers.



😎 What should you do when you park on the road when it’s foggy?

A; Leave parking lights switched on

B; leave dipped headlights and fog lights switched on

C; leave dipped headlights switched on

D; leave main beam headlights switched on



Answer; A) leave parking lights switched on

If you have to park your vehicle in foggy conditions, try to find a place to park off the road. If this isn’t possible, park on the road facing in the same direction as the traffic. Leave your parking lights switched on and make sure they are clean.



9) You’re driving a vehicle that has anti-lock brakes. How should you apply the foot brake when you need to stop in an emergency?

A; slowly and gently

B; slowly but firmly

C; rapidly and gently

D; rapidly and firmly



Answer; D) Rapidly and firmly



You may have to stop in an emergency due to a misjudgement by another driver or hazard arising suddenly, such as a child running out into the road. If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes you should apply the brakes immediately and keep them firmly applied until you stop.



10) Why should you use the mirrors when you see a hazard ahead?

A; Because you’ll need to accelerate out of danger

B; to assess how your actions will affect the traffic behind

C; because you’ll need to brake sharply and stop

D; to check what’s happening on the road ahead

Answer; 😎 to assess how your actions will affect traffic behind

You should be constantly scanning the road for clues about what’s going to happen next. Check your mirrors regularly, particularly as soon as you spot a hazard. What’s happening behind, may affect how you respond to the hazards ahead.
