Class 5 Mock Test
#1. In British Columbia, when are you allowed to check text messages on your cellphone?
In British Columbia, it is illegal to read or send email or text messages while you’re driving, except in an emergency. Even while your vehicle is momentarily stopped in traffic, you’re still considered to be driving. If you need to use your cellphone or other electronic device, pull over to the side of the road, away from traffic. [Part 3.1, British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act
#2. When changing lanes, you should _________ before you proceed.
Whenever you enter a lane, the vehicles that are already in that lane have the right-of-way. When changing lanes, check your mirrors and your blind spots. Make sure there is a large enough gap so that when you pull in front of another vehicle, that driver doesn’t have to slow down to avoid crashing into you. Signal, then enter the lane. Legally, you must signal whenever you change lanes.
#3. How far you should park your car from fire hydrant?
#4. How much distance you should keep to avoid accident?
#5. Why is it dangerous to overdrive your headlights at night?
Be careful not to overdrive your headlights at night or in fog, rain or snow. “Overdriving your headlights” means that you are travelling so fast that you won’t be able to stop within the distance illuminated by your headlights. (In the dark, you have no way of knowing what lies beyond the range of your headlights.) Overdriving your headlights is especially dangerous in a curve.
#6. When approached by an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren in operation, you do NOT have to stop if
Emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights and sirens always have the right‑of‑way. All traffic moving in both directions must stop. The only exception to this rule is if you are on a divided highway and the emergency vehicle is approaching on the other side of the median. Make sure that it would be impossible for the emergency vehicle to move onto your side of the highway.
#7. Cars can enter into the lane of bicycle?
#8. The likelihood of an accident increases if a driver is under the influence of
Alcohol, some illegal drugs, some prescription medications and some over-the-counter medications can cause drowsiness, sedation or impaired coordination, which may impair your ability to drive. If your doctor or pharmacist cautions you that a medication is likely to interfere with driving safely, pay attention. If you are feeling impaired after taking a medication, don’t drive. Let someone else do the driving until the effect has worn off
#9. If other driver starts acting aggressively you should?
#10. When school bus with flashing lights has stopped you should stop?
#11. Which of the following statements about preventing road aggression is FALSE?
Help prevent other drivers from becoming frustrated or angry by giving the right-of-way, signalling your intentions, moving over for merging traffic, and driving in a relaxed manner. Do not yell or honk at other road users. If another driver gets angry at you, don’t retaliate. Get out of the driver’s way and let him or her pass.
#12. After school zone ends speed should be?
#13. When you see a potential hazard ahead, you should
Since it’s only a potential hazard, you may not need to pull over and stop. Instead, prepare to deal with the hazard if necessary. Slow down and cover the brake by resting your foot lightly on the brake pedal without activating the brake. Your vehicle will slow slightly, and you will be able to respond more quickly if you must stop.
#14. You should watch for which of the following on the sides of the road?
Observe the sides of the road carefully because some pedestrians may move in unpredictable ways. Children probably don’t know the rules of the road and may suddenly dart out into the street. A ball or a hockey net can mean children are playing nearby. Watch for pedestrians with disabilities and take extra care if you see a person who’s visually impaired. (Such a person may be carrying a white cane or be accompanied by a guide dog.) Often, visually impaired people will raise their cane when they’re uncertain about crossing the street safely. That is your signal to stop and give the person the right‑of‑way. Don’t startle them or their guide dog by racing your engine or honking your horn. People in motorized scooters or wheelchairs also share the roads. Technically, they should be on the sidewalk, but not all roads have sidewalks, and not all sidewalks are suitable for wheelchairs.
#15. To drive through standing water, you should
Wet brakes can be less effective. Avoid driving through standing or flowing water if possible. If not, slow down and downshift into a low gear. Gently press on the brakes and maintain pressure for a short distance once you are out of the water. This will heat up the brakes and dry them out
#16. What is the best way to handle a curve?
Before you enter a curve, slow down so you won’t need to brake in the curve. Braking in a curve can cause a skid, especially on a slippery road. Accelerate slightly after you pass the middle of the curve
#17. To identify hazards while driving, you should
Make sure you know what’s coming up by scanning at least 12 seconds ahead. This means looking one to two blocks ahead in city driving and half a kilometer ahead on the highway. This will give you time to prepare for a potential hazard instead of being taken by surprise. Keep your eyes moving. As you look ahead, also scan to the left and right so you can see what’s happening along the sides of the road.
#18. If you have a close call and almost get into an accident, what should you do?
You choose your driving attitude and style. If you have a close call but want to be a safer driver, ask yourself why it happened, and think about how you can drive more safely so it won’t happen again.
#19. You are driving on a multi-lane road. What is the safest lane position for normal driving?
On a multi-lane road, the right lane is often the safest one to choose. It keeps you away from oncoming traffic and it’s less likely that another driver will tailgate you.
#20. To reduce the sudden impact of collision you should?
#21. What is the main cause of skidding?
Skids can happen any time the tires lose their grip of the road (traction). Environmental factors like rain and ice contribute to skidding, but poor driving skills are the main cause of skidding. Changing speed or direction too suddenly can lead to a skid. The way to avoid skids is to use your See-Think-Do skills. On slippery roads, slow down.
#22. When weather conditions are not good in city, what should be the space between your car and car in front of you?
#23. Driver honks the horn to cyclist?
#24. A passenger can help a driver to drive safely by?
#25. While driving if a hood of your car flies you should?
#26. After driving and driving which one is lowest chance that driver could do?
#27. When parking uphill on a two-way street without a curb, in which direction should you turn your front wheels?
If you’re parking facing uphill on the right side of a street without a curb, turn the front wheels to the right (i.e., toward the edge of the road). If your vehicle’s brakes fail, the vehicle will roll backward but away from traffic. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your transmission in the correct gear (Park for an automatic transmission or first gear for maximum forward torque with a standard transmission).
#28. What should a driver do while turning right?
#29. Key of the emergency brakes is to?
#30. If you are in a situation if someone threatens you should?
