UK Car Theory: Vulnerable Road Users Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is watch out for pedestrians walking on the road.

In this situation, you need to watch out for pedestrians who may be walking on the road. Slow down and increase the distance between your car and the pavement if you can.

Not quite. The answer is Motorcycles

Bicycles and motorcycles should be given extra room as wind can cause them to drift.

Not quite. The answer is Pedestrians

Pedestrians are an important hazard because they can obstruct the road and cause danger unexpectedly.

Not quite. The answer is the person may not react as quickly as before.

An older person's driving could be affected if he or she reacts more slowly.

Not quite. The answer is Stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross.

You must stop and give way to any pedestrian who has started to cross a road into which you are turning. The pedestrian has priority.

Not quite. The answer is reduce your speed and anticipate stopping for the cyclist.

Since you have right of way, you should slowly proceed past the hazard. Be alert: the cyclist may emerge at any time, and you may be required to stop at short notice. Do not brake or accelerate quickly, because this could harm other road users.

Not quite. The answer is They would keep to the left-hand side of the road

Be aware that at roundabouts and at junctions where a horse rider is turning right, they may signal right but keep to the left-hand side of the road (and the outside lane round the roundabout) for safety.

Not quite. The answer is Be patient and give the learner time to move off.

You should be patient and not pressure the learner driver.

Not quite. The answer is A motorcycle

A motorcycle is the most difficult to spot because it is both small and narrow. Also, people tend not to expect to see them, so they don't see them, which can be dangerous.

Not quite. The answer is Beep your horn to alert farmers to your presence.

In this situation, you should leave the sheep and farmers as much room as possible. Be prepared to come to a halt if you are asked to do so. Do not sound your horn because it could cause the sheep distress.

Not quite. The answer is Remain stationary until the person has reached a pedestrian footpath.

As elderly people are vulnerable road users, you should allow them extra time on all crossings, even if the traffic lights have turned to green.

Not quite. The answer is Overtake the motorcyclist, giving the person as much room as possible.

By remaining as far from the motorcyclist as possible, you can avoid a possible collision caused by strong winds pushing the motorcycle off course.

Not quite. The answer is Be prepared to slow down and give the person the right of way.

Treat a pedestrian in a wheelchair just like any other. This means you should be prepared to slow and stop as you approach the zebra crossing. Don't wave the pedestrian across; other traffic may not stop.

Not quite. The answer is use extra caution because they may not realise how fast your car is travelling.

Although you do not need to stop and allow older pedestrians to cross, you must remain alert and drive slowly and steadily.

Not quite. The answer is Overtake the cyclist, giving the person as much room as possible.

By remaining as far from the cyclist as possible, you can avoid a possible collision caused by strong winds pushing the bicycle off course.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Stay behind if you are following a cyclist approaching a roundabout or junction, and you intend to turn left. DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users, for example where the road narrows or at a level crossing.

Not quite. The answer is need to swerve.

Cyclists also have to react to hazards, such as potholes, pedestrians, or parked cars. You should allow them plenty of room so they can swerve to avoid such hazards without risking a collision with your vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is the cyclist might swerve.

You should give a cyclist as much room as a car because the person may swerve without warning. The cyclist may encounter an obstruction, or winds may blow the cyclist off course.

Not quite. The answer is This pedestrian is blind and deaf.

A blind pedestrian will often carry a white cane or be led by a dog with a white harness. A pedestrian who is both blind and deaf may carry a white cane with a red band or be led by a guide dog with a red-and-white harness. Drive with care around such pedestrians because they can neither see you or hear you.

Not quite. The answer is to make the motorcycle more visible to other road users.

It can be difficult to see motorcycles if they are obstructed by other vehicles. Dipped headlights allow them to be more visible to other road users.
