Class 5 Mock Test
#1. If you cross just slightly into another lane to pass a cyclist, you are
A significant number of crashes involving cyclists result from sideswiping, so make sure there is enough space if you want to pass a cyclist. In British Columbia, you are allowed to cross a single solid yellow line to leave enough room to pass a cyclist, provided you can do it safely. However, even if you pull just slightly into another lane to pass, you are considered changing lanes. Remember to signal, do a mirror check and do a shoulder check.
#2. What can you do to avoid provoking aggression while driving?
You can help prevent other drivers from becoming frustrated or angry by knowing and following all the rules of the road. Maintain a generous following distance and give the right-of-way. Always signal your intentions well in advance. Move over for merging traffic. Don’t try to take more than one parking spot or park where it’s illegal for you to do so.
#3. You can park your car near to the nearest railway crossing within?
#4. Key of the emergency brakes is to?
#5. Before backing up you should first
360 scan
#6. How can you keep focused while driving?
Always keep your eyes moving while you’re driving. Look well ahead and scan from one side of the road to the other as you check for potential hazards. Glance in your rear‑ and side‑view mirrors to keep track of what is happening behind you and anticipate other drivers’ actions. Other than to check your mirrors, don’t take your eyes off the road. If you need to use your cell phone, pull over and stop in a safe location first.
#7. How far you should park away from curve when doing parallel parking?
#8. What steps are involved in the See-Think-Do strategy?
See-Think-Do is a driving strategy that helps you be a safe and competent driver. See: scan for hazards. Think: decide which hazards are the most dangerous, think quickly about possible solutions, and decide on the safest solution. Do: perform manoeuvres to keep yourself and others safe.
#9. When you are approaching a stop sign, you must
A thick solid white line across a lane approaching an intersection is a stop line. If you must stop for a red light or stop sign, you must stop before the stop line if there is one
#10. High beam headlights should be used?
#11. When pulling your car out of the driveway on to the road, you should?
#12. 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).
#13. 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
#14. 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.
#15. When parallel parking in British Columbia, you must be within _______ of the curb.
When parallel parking in British Columbia, you must park parallel to and within 30 centimeters of the curb.
#16. To help prevent collision with an animal, you should
Crashing into a large animal can cause damage and injury, not only to the animal but also to you and your passengers. To help prevent a collision with an animal, scan the sides of the roadway ahead for animals and watch for animal crossing signs. Slow down in these areas. Be extra cautious at dusk and dawn, because animals are most likely to move around to feed during these times. At night, look for sudden, unusual spots of light on the roadway. This may be the reflection of your headlights off an animal’s eyes.
#17. During school days speed should be?
#18. 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.
#19. When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing, you should
Under B.C.’s Slow Down, Move Over rule, when approaching a vehicle with flashing red, blue or yellow lights that is stopped by the side of the road, you must slow down to 70 km/h when in an 80 km/h or over zone, or to 40 km/h when in an under 80 km/h zone. (Such vehicles include emergency vehicles, roadway maintenance vehicles, utility vehicles and tow trucks.) On a multi-lane road, you must also change lanes if necessary to leave at least one lane vacant between your vehicle and the emergency vehicle. [“Slow Down, Move Over,” Government of British Columbia, https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/road-safety-rules-and-consequences/slow-down-move-over]
#20. You are driving on an undivided roadway. If you're approached by an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren in operation, what should you do?
Emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights and sirens always have the right‑of‑way. All traffic moving in both directions must stop. If you’re approached by an emergency vehicle, get clear of any intersection, pull over to the right (or to the left if you’re on a one-way street or in the left lane of a divided highway), and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. The only exception is if the emergency vehicle is on the opposite side of a divided highway, in which case you do not have to pull over.
#21. If you are in a situation if someone threatens you should?
#22. If you see a pedestrian at the side of the road who is about to jaywalk, you should
You must always be prepared to stop if you see a pedestrian who is about to step out in front of you. But don’t encourage jaywalking (crossing between intersections) by stopping and inviting the pedestrian to cross. The car behind you may not be expecting you to stop and may crash into you. Drivers in the other lanes may not see the pedestrian crossing in front of your vehicle and may hit the person. Under Section 180 of the Motor Vehicle Act, a jaywalker does NOT have the legal right-of-way. However, under Section 181, you must always take care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian
#23. Which of the following clues might indicate that you are approaching a stale green light?
A stale green light is a light that has been green for a long time. A stale green light may turn yellow at any moment. If you didn’t see the light turn green, then it may be stale. Other indications that the green light is stale include multiple cars lined up on the cross street waiting for the red light to change or a crosswalk signal that has changed from a white figure (“WALK” signal) to an orange hand already
#24. When school bus with flashing lights has stopped you should stop?
#25. If you see a pedestrian with a guide dog who is waiting at a crosswalk,
A pedestrian with a white cane or guide dog is visually impaired. Yield the right-of-way and use extreme caution around a pedestrian who may be unable to see you. Don’t use your horn or race your engine because it might startle the pedestrian or guide dog.
#26. At what time you should turn your head lights of you car?
#27. You're approaching a stop sign where there is no stop line, sidewalk or crosswalk. What should you do?
At a stop sign, you must stop at the stop line. If there is no stop line, stop before the marked crosswalk. If there is an unmarked crosswalk, stop where you would if there were a marked crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk or sidewalk, stop just before the intersection.
#28. While backing, if you not able to see clearly you should?
#29. 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.
