Practice Test 2 - Question commentary
Instructions
You are stopped.
You wish to turn right at the intersection.
There are no other vehicles or pedestrians on your left or right.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when it would be safe to go.
Setting
You are waiting to turn right across a broken line into a side street. There are two oncoming vehicles and you must respond when it is safe to make the turn.
Response
The appropriate response that would result in safe completion of the right turn is to turn as soon as possible when the clip begins.
The first car is some distance from you and you have more than 4 seconds in which to complete the turn - making it safe.
If you waited until after the last car, you missed the first opportunity and therefore reacted at the wrong time.
Instructions
You are stopped.
You wish to turn right at the intersection.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when it would be safe to go.
Setting
You want to turn right at a set of traffic lights that control a busy intersection. You do not have a dedicated green arrow and must wait for a safe break in traffic to make the turn. There is a vehicle in the same situation on the opposite side of the intersection attempting to turn in front of you.
Response
While the vehicle is waiting to make its turn you cannot proceed safely as you do not have sufficient visibility to ensure the turn will be safe. On top of this, there are no gaps in oncoming traffic that would allow for a safe turn. As such, the correct answer is not to respond – just let the clip play until it is complete.
Instructions
You are stopped.
You wish to turn right at the intersection.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when it would be safe to go.
Setting
You want to turn right at a set of traffic lights. At the start of the clip, the traffic lights are red and you cannot make the turn. When the lights are green, you do not have a dedicated green arrow and must wait for a safe break in traffic to make the turn.
Response
There are no gaps in oncoming traffic that would allow for a safe turn. As such, the correct answer is not to respond – just let the clip play until it is complete.
Instructions
You are travelling along a two-way road in a 80km/hour speed zone.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when you would slow down.
Setting
You are travelling 80km/h along a country road with a broken line that allows overtaking. When the clip begins, you can see some oncoming traffic in the distance. As the clip progresses you see an oncoming vehicle move into your lane to overtake another oncoming vehicle.
Response
The correct answer is to respond when you see the oncoming vehicle move into your lane.
Instructions
You are travelling along a two-way road in a 100km/hour speed zone.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when you would slow down.
Setting
You are travelling 90km/h along a road at night. You can see vehicles ahead of you in your lane, though they are some distance away. There is oncoming traffic and the headlights are quite bright. You pass a warning sign on the left hand side of the road that indicates the upcoming left hand bend should be taken at or below 55km/h.
Response
The correct answer is to respond when you see the warning sign or very soon after you pass it. Leaving the response too long after you pass the sign will be a bad response.
Instructions
You are travelling along a two-way road in a 60km/hour speed zone.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when it would be safe to overtake.
Setting
You are travelling 60km/h along an unmarked country road that is bending to the right. You are following two cyclists. When the clip starts there is no oncoming traffic but an oncoming vehicle passes as you go around the bend.
Response
As you go around the bend you are turning blind and have no idea if there is oncoming traffic. This means there are no points at which it is safe to overtake the cyclists. The correct answer is not to respond – just let the clip play until it is complete.
Instructions
You are travelling along a two-way road in a 60km/hour speed zone.
Click the 'RESPOND NOW' button when you would slow down.
Setting
You are moving along a suburban street. There is oncoming traffic and from the start of he clip the vehicle you are following is indicating its intention to turn right. Before the clip ends this vehicle has stopped completely to wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic.
Response
The correct answer is to respond when you notice the vehicle is indicating to its intention to turn right as this will result in it slowing down.
