If, when starting to move, your vehicle's wheels spin while the vehicle remains stationary:

To drive a motor vehicle economically and sensibly, begin moving smoothly and steadily. Where possible, reduce your speed gradually and avoid unnecessary abrupt actions unless they are essential (e.g., emergency braking because of an unexpected obstacle on the road).

1. It is uneconomical — it increases fuel consumption and accelerates tyre wear.

2. The tyre squeal or wheel spin disturbs other road users.

3. It is regarded as normal and acceptable.

If water gets into the brake pads and reduces braking effectiveness, what will you do?

After driving through a deep puddle or a body of water, drive at low speed for a short while and gently apply the brakes several times to dry the brake discs or drums and the pads or shoes. Friction will heat the components, helping the water to evaporate and restoring braking performance.

1. You would repeatedly apply the brakes while the vehicle is stationary.

2. You would ignore it because they will dry on their own within a few minutes.

3. You would gently apply the brakes several times while driving slowly.

What is the minimum allowable winter tread depth for a passenger car tyre?

Passenger car tyre tread depth must be at least 1.6 mm in general and 3.0 mm during the winter period. Source: Technical requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers — Section V: Vehicle axles, wheels, tyres and suspension. 5.7. The tread depth of the tyres used must be at least: 5.7.1. M1 category — 1.6 mm (from November 10 to March 31 — 3.0 mm); JB

1. 1.6 mm.

2. 2.0 mm.

3. 3.0 mm.

Which features ensure a vehicle's active safety?

Difference between active and passive safety: - Active safety: systems and features that help prevent accidents by improving vehicle control, handling and stability before a collision occurs. These measures operate before an impact and commonly include technologies such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), traction control, correct tyre pressure and adequate tread depth, among others. Active safety also depends on the driver’s condition and behavior — for example, poor ventilation or heating can cause drowsiness or nausea and reduce attention on the road. - Passive safety: systems and equipment designed to reduce injury and damage during or after a collision. These features are activated in a crash to protect occupants and other road users and include seat belts, airbags, motorcycle helmets, seat-belt reminders, head restraints, crumple zones and other structural or restraint systems that absorb impact and lower the risk of injury.

1. Proper ventilation and heating.

2. Tyre pressure and tread depth.

3. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

4. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).

A driver intends to make a left turn. According to the road safety rules used in the driving theory exam, which is the correct sequence of actions?

1. Activate the left turn signal, then check surrounding traffic, and then perform the turn.

2. Ensure the road and traffic are clear, then activate the left turn signal, and finally execute the turn.

3. Execute the turn first and then switch on the turn signal.

4. Activate the left turn signal and immediately commence the turn.

Is the third vehicle permitted to make a U‑turn?

The leading vehicle is not permitted to turn left and therefore may not make a U‑turn (RTR 77.1). When the signal arm is extended sideways or downward: 77.1.1 vehicles to the left and right may proceed straight or turn right; pedestrians may cross the carriageway; 77.1.2 vehicles and pedestrians ahead of and behind the signaling vehicle must not proceed. JB

1. Yes — it may.

2. No — it is not permitted.

3. Yes — but only after yielding to the first vehicle proceeding straight.

If two wheels of your vehicle move onto the road shoulder while driving, what should you do?

Avoid sudden steering or braking to prevent further instability. Gently accelerate — increasing the driven wheel's RPM will help the wheel regain traction and make it easier to return to the paved road.

1. Apply the brakes and steer back onto the carriageway.

2. Gently accelerate and steer back onto the carriageway.

When is the road surface the most slippery?

The road surface is the most slippery when it starts to rain because the road surface is covered with dust which forms a slippery film of dust when it starts to rain.

1. When it starts to rain.

2. After heavy rain.

3. After puddles forming on the road.

A traffic officer directing vehicles stands with their arms lowered. Are you permitted to proceed straight through the intersection when the traffic light displays a red signal?

1. Yes

2. No

What are the common signs that a car battery is dead?

Select the signs that indicate the car battery may be dead.

1. When attempting to start the car, the starter motor does not engage or cranks very slowly.

2. When attempting to start the car, the dashboard lights dim or go out.

When approaching a traffic-light-controlled intersection and you notice the green light has been on for a long time, what should you do?

A green light that has been lit for an extended period may change to yellow shortly. You may proceed, but remain vigilant and be prepared to stop safely. 73. Traffic light signals mean: 73.1. A steady circular green light permits movement in all directions (straight ahead, to the right, to the left, or a U-turn); 73.3. A flashing green light permits movement but warns that its time is ending and the signals are about to change.

1. Stop immediately.

2. Increase your speed.

3. Continue driving but be prepared to stop.

When must you use the turn signal?

RTR 86. Warning signals must be given sufficiently in advance of a manoeuvre (including any braking related to it) and must be discontinued immediately after the manoeuvre is completed (hand signals may be stopped just before the manoeuvre). A signal must be given so that it does not mislead other road users. Turn signals are not used when entering a roundabout.

1. Before completing your overtaking manoeuvre.

2. Before beginning your overtaking manoeuvre.

3. Before passing an obstruction.

If, because of its large size or for other reasons, a vehicle cannot turn (or turn around) from the edge position, it may perform the turn:

RTR 107. If, because of large dimensions or other reasons, a vehicle cannot turn (or make a U‑turn) from the edge position, it may execute the turn from a location other than the lane edge designated for travel in that direction, provided the manoeuvre does not obstruct other vehicles or create hazards for other road users.

1. At a location other than an intersection.

2. Outside a built-up (urban) area.

3. Not from the edge of the carriageway, provided the manoeuvre does not obstruct other vehicles or create hazards for other road users.

Which driver will proceed through the intersection first?

RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side road must yield to vehicles on the priority road.

1. The driver of the blue car.

2. The driver of the red car.

What happens when the air pressure in a vehicle's tyres is too low?

When driving with tyres that have insufficient air pressure, the outer edges of the tyres wear more quickly, shortening tyre lifespan. Low tyre pressure also reduces vehicle stability and increases rolling resistance, which raises fuel consumption.

1. Tyres wear out more quickly.

2. Vehicle stability improves.

3. Fuel consumption increases.

4. Vehicle stability decreases.

Before overtaking, drivers must ensure that:

RTR 136. Drivers should avoid unnecessary overtaking manoeuvres. Before overtaking, drivers must exercise extra caution and ensure that: 136.1 no driver following has already begun to overtake them; 136.2 the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is not indicating a left turn; 136.3 the section of lane required for the overtaking manoeuvre is clear and the manoeuvre will not obstruct oncoming traffic or pedestrians on the carriageway; 136.4 a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken can be maintained during the manoeuvre; 136.5 after completing the overtaking manoeuvre they will be able to return safely to the original traffic lane without obstructing the overtaken vehicle.

1. The road ahead is clear and the overtaking manoeuvre can be completed safely

2. No vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction

3. No vehicle behind has already begun overtaking

What lateral distance from nearby vehicles is considered safe?

3.17 Choosing a safe distance: operate the vehicle so that: 3.17.3. the distance to other vehicles, whether moving or stationary, is safe relative to any parked vehicle — maintain sufficient clearance to prevent parked vehicles or other obstacles from causing interference. When the vehicle is parked in a parking space, the lateral clearance should permit opening the vehicle's doors.

1. A lateral clearance sufficient to allow the vehicle's doors to be opened.

2. 1 m.

3. 50 cm.

4. 30 cm.

Why is it safer to brake without depressing the clutch while driving downhill?

After releasing the accelerator (engine braking), place your foot on the brake pedal and stop without pressing the clutch. This is the most effective braking method, especially in winter when roads are slippery. Braking with the clutch disengaged reduces stopping effectiveness and vehicle stability, increasing the risk of skidding to the side. JB

1. Braking is more effective.

2. The vehicle remains more stable during braking.

3. The tires will not wear out as quickly.

Why is it dangerous to suddenly increase engine speed while driving on a slippery road?

If you press the accelerator suddenly on a slippery road, the driving wheels may start to spin, further smoothing and polishing the wheel track on the slippery surface. This reduces traction; as a result the tires can lose grip more quickly and the vehicle may skid or slide sideways.

1. The vehicle may skid sideways.

2. The engine may stall.

Cyclists must not perform any of the following:

RTR VIII. Rules for Cyclists 64. Cyclists must not: 64.1 Ride on the carriageway except in cases expressly permitted by these Rules. 64.2 Ride on motorways and expressways. 64.3 Ride without holding the handlebars with their hands. 64.4 Carry passengers if the bicycle is not fitted with a designated passenger seat. 64.5 Carry, tow, or push loads that impede control of the bicycle or pose a hazard to other road users. 64.6 Be towed by other vehicles. 64.7 Tow other vehicles, except for trailers specially designed for bicycles. 64.8 Hold on to a moving vehicle while cycling. 64.9 Cross the carriageway by riding over a pedestrian crossing. JB

1. Carrying, towing, or pushing any load that impairs control of the bicycle or endangers other road users.

2. Riding on bicycle paths after dark.

3. Riding in bicycle lanes marked on the sidewalk.

4. Riding at the edge of the carriageway during daylight hours.

What is the permissible maximum weight for a combination of vehicles?

A vehicle's permissible maximum weight (hereinafter 'permissible maximum weight') means the maximum authorized operating weight of a fully laden vehicle or combination of vehicles, including the driver, passengers, and cargo, as specified by the vehicle manufacturer or the competent government authority.

1. The maximum authorized operating weight of a fully loaded vehicle or combination of vehicles.

2. The total payload of a vehicle and its trailer.

At an uncontrolled intersection, if the paths of the vehicles do not cross, which vehicle has the right of way?

2. Attempt to repair the damage yourself if it is safe and feasible.

3. Notify the police and remain at the scene until instructed otherwise.

4. Drive away from the scene because the property owner is absent.

Which description corresponds to a "Bicycle path"?

Law on Road Traffic Safety, Art. 2, para. 11. "Bicycle path" — a road or part of a road intended for the movement of bicycles, motorcycles and electric micromobility vehicles, marked with appropriate road signs. A bicycle path must be separated from the roadway or its lanes by engineering measures.

1. A portion of the roadway, or a separate path, designated for bicycle and moped traffic.

2. A road or section of road intended for the movement of bicycles, motorcycles and electric micromobility vehicles, marked by appropriate road signs.

3. A portion of the road designated for shared pedestrian and bicycle use.

Under what circumstances are drivers prohibited from operating a vehicle?

IV 15. It is prohibited to drive vehicles that are not in good condition or that fail to meet the applicable technical requirements. Before setting off, the driver of a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled vehicle must ensure the vehicle is in proper condition and is equipped with a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, and any other items mandated for that vehicle type. The driver must also monitor the vehicle's technical condition during the trip. If the vehicle breaks down while driving and ceases to meet technical requirements, and repairs on-site are impossible, the driver may proceed—taking all necessary precautions—to the nearest parking area or repair facility, except in cases specified in paragraph 234 of these Rules.

1. When the engine has not yet warmed up to its optimal operating temperature.

2. When the vehicle's fuel tank is not full.

3. When the vehicle is not in roadworthy condition.

4. When the vehicle does not meet the required technical standards.

How should you drive on a slippery road?

A safe speed depends on all circumstances, including weather, road surface and vehicle condition, as well as the driver's experience and level of alertness. (RTR 127) Drivers must not exceed the permissible speed limits. A driver must choose a speed appropriate to the conditions — taking into account terrain, road and vehicle condition (including load), weather, and traffic density — so that they can stop safely before any foreseeable obstruction. The driver must reduce speed or stop when conditions require, particularly when visibility is poor. JB

1. Maintain a larger-than-usual following distance from other vehicles.

2. When necessary, apply the brakes very gently.

3. Avoid sudden movements of the steering wheel or abrupt changes to the accelerator.

4. Select a safe driving speed.

What is the maximum permitted speed for a passenger car on an asphalt- or concrete-surfaced road where this sign applies?

According to the Road Traffic Rules (RTR), a blue sign showing the settlement name in white letters indicates the start of a settlement where the special traffic regulations that normally apply within built-up areas do NOT apply. By contrast, a sign with the settlement name in black letters on a white background marks the start of a settlement where built-up-area traffic rules are in force (RTR 131). The following maximum speeds apply outside built-up areas (RTR 131.1): for passenger cars, light goods vehicles with a permissible maximum mass up to 3.5 tonnes, motorcycles and tricycles — on motorways: 130 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; on expressways/highways: 120 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; on roads with asphalt or concrete pavement: 90 km/h; on other roads: 70 km/h. See road sign 612: Beginning of a built-up area where special built-up-area rules do not apply. Road sign 613: End of a built-up area (marked by sign 616); it may show the name of another settlement and the distance to it.

1. 70 km/h

2. 80 km/h

3. 90 km/h

The requirement to 'Give Way' means:

3. Terms used in the Road Traffic Rules: 3.2. 'Give way' means that drivers must stop, or must not begin to drive or manoeuvre, if doing so would require other vehicle drivers to change their direction of travel or their speed.

1. That drivers on a side road must yield to vehicles approaching the intersection on a priority road.

2. That drivers must stop, or must not begin to drive or manoeuvre, if doing so would force other vehicle drivers to change their direction of travel or their speed.

3. That at an uncontrolled intersection drivers must yield to vehicles approaching from the right.

When you suddenly depress the accelerator, you hear a brief squeal. The most common cause is:

A squeal heard during a sudden rise in engine RPM is typically caused by a loose or worn accessory drive belt, which can slip on the pulleys.

1. A fault in the gearbox.

2. The generator or another accessory's V-belt is loose, slipping, or excessively worn.

Is it permitted to carry passengers in a towed vehicle when a flexible towing link is used?

Passengers may be carried in a towed vehicle except when the vehicle is being towed with its front or rear supported on a towing platform or other support device. Regulation 195 states that drivers must not: 195.4. carry passengers inside a bus, trolleybus, or the body of a goods vehicle that is being towed; if the front or rear of a vehicle is resting on a support device, passengers must not be inside the vehicle or in its cargo body.

1. Yes — it is allowed.

2. No — it is not allowed.
