Not quite. The answer is both blind and deaf.

Not quite. The answer is Do none of the above.

Not quite. The answer is Be ready to stop.

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 both mirrors before decelerating.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Slow-moving road users such as horses, bicycles, and milk floats will often remain in the outside lane. Long vehicles may have to be in a lane different from the one they are indicating to allow them to negotiate the roundabout safely. Allow such vehicles time and space if they are ahead of you as you approach a roundabout.

Not quite. The answer is By showing you a 'stop' sign

A school crossing patrol, commonly known as a lollipop man or a lollipop lady, carries a 'stop' sign. When the patrol presents the sign, you must obey the order and wait for all parties to cross safely.

Not quite. The answer is They are checking their blind spots before manoeuvring.

Mirrors are helpful and should be used regularly, but they have blind spots. Always look over your shoulder in the direction you're planning to turn. This will allow you to see if other vehicles may be about to go by.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Bicycles, motorbikes, and powered vehicles for disabled road users are smaller and more vulnerable, so leave them extra room when overtaking them.

Not quite. The answer is At a junction

Motorbikes and cycles can be particularly difficult to spot at junctions, since they may be hidden by other vehicles. Be wary and proceed cautiously in these conditions.

Not quite. The answer is Be prepared to slow down and stop if required.

Be respectful of learner drivers or riders, but also be aware that they may be nervous or less skilled than other road users. Exercise caution, and be ready to slow or stop.

Not quite. The answer is Give them lots of room and be prepared to stop.
