Class 5 Mock Test
#1. You should give right of way to the public transit which is signaling, and which has yield sign on it
#2. 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.
#3. 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
#4. 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.
#5. How far you should park your car from fire hydrant?
#6. Which of the following statements about a bicycle lane is true?
Bicycle lanes are reserved for cyclists. Sometimes, however, you will need to cross a bicycle lane to turn right or pull to the side of the road. Take extra care when you do this. You must not drive, stop or park in a bicycle lane.
#7. Public transit which has yield sign you should?
#8. How can you reduce the risks of backing up?
Backing up is relatively hazardous. Your visibility to the rear is limited, and you have less steering control. Before you back up, do a 360‑degree vision check. Look all around the vehicle, using shoulder checks and mirror checks, and then turn your body to look out the rear window while backing up. Be especially careful when you’re backing out of a driveway. It’s easy to miss seeing children, pets, pedestrians, cyclists or people in wheelchairs. A backup camera can be helpful if your vehicle is equipped with one, but its field of view is limited (typically 80 degrees). If you’ve been stopped for some time, walk around the back of your vehicle to check that your path is clear. You can also try to back into driveways and parking spots so you can drive out facing forward.
#9. Key of the emergency brakes is to?
#10. If your brakes fail while you are driving, you should NOT
Total brake failure is rare. However, if your braking system fails, don’t panic. Look for an escape route or something to slow you down. Pump the brakes hard and fast; you may be able to get enough braking action to stop the car. Downshift into the lowest gear so the engine will help slow you down. Apply the parking brake gently and gradually, but be prepared to release the parking brake quickly if the car goes into a skid. Use the hazard lights or the horn to warn other drivers. Never allow a head-on collision. Head-on collisions are often fatal.
#11. If your engine fails while you are driving on the freeway, what should you do?
An unexpected vehicle breakdown can create a dangerous situation, so try to get your vehicle away from traffic. If your engine fails, signal and steer to the edge of the road. Try to get to the nearest exit or service area or pull off the road as far as possible if you are on a freeway. Turn on your hazard lights and stay with your vehicle. Don’t try to do roadside repairs on crowded and fast‑moving freeways.
#12. In British Columbia, it is illegal to park
Park where it’s safe and legal. Signs, curb markings and common sense will tell you if you are allowed to park. You should park where you are not blocking traffic and where others can clearly see your vehicle. If you park where you shouldn’t, you may be fined or your vehicle may be towed. Among other places, it is illegal to park on a sidewalk or boulevard, in a bicycle lane, on a bridge or in a highway tunnel.
#13. At what time you should turn your head lights of you car?
#14. If you are going on long trip, to prevent tiredness which route you will choose?
#15. Which of the following is NOT likely to cause a skid?
The main cause of skidding is poor driving skills. A sudden change of speed (such as by slamming on the brakes) or direction (such as a sharp turn) can lead to a skid, especially on a slippery road. Before you start to drive, find out about the road conditions and drive appropriately
#16. If you see a pedestrian about to cross where there is no intersection, 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 jaywalker to cross. The vehicle 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.
#17. Why you should be more careful about pedestrian and cyclist at night time?
#18. Which of the following is a warning to you that a railway crossing is coming up ahead?
Advance warning signs alert you to an upcoming crossing, and tell you to look, listen and slow down because you may have to stop. They are usually posted in locations where you cannot see an upcoming railway crossing (for example, on hilly or curvy roads). An advisory speed sign below the advance warning sign may show that the safe road speed is less than the posted speed. You may see a painted “X” on the pavement at the approach to some railway crossings. Some crossings also have flashing lights, a bell and gates. If the light and bell are activated or the gate is down, it means a train is approaching.
#19. How should you enter a freeway?
A highway entrance gives you a short distance to match your speed to that of the vehicles already on the highway. Observe the freeway traffic, make sure you have a space that is safe to move into, signal your intention and then move into traffic.
#20. The safest way to prevent yourself if some body is tailgating you?
#21. When driving, how can you reduce fuel consumption?
Safe driving habits can reduce your fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent. Drive at a steady speed within the posted speed limit or below. Don’t idle your engine for more than 60 seconds. Check tire pressures at least monthly; underinflated tires increase fuel consumption.
#22. You cannot pass the other vehicle when?
#23. Why should you use caution when driving a vehicle with a higher centre of gravity, such as a sport utility vehicle (SUV), pickup truck or camper van?
The centre of gravity of an object is the point around which all of its weight is balanced. If the centre of gravity falls outside the object’s base, the object may tip over. Most vehicles are built low enough to the ground so they balance well on hills, curves and uneven road surfaces. But some SUVs, pickup trucks and camper vans have a higher centre of gravity. A vehicle with a higher centre of gravity is less stable on uneven road surfaces and is more likely to roll over on a curve taken at higher speeds. Bear this in mind when driving one of these vehicles.
#24. Consuming one glass of wine or beer before driving
A glass of beer contains the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine or an average cocktail. An average 180-pound man will reach a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.03 after consuming just one such drink. At that level, his ability to track a moving target and perform two different tasks at the same time – both vital skills in driving – may already be adversely affected
#25. 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.
#26. 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.
#27. While driving if a hood of your car flies you should?
#28. Car drivers often complaint that it is difficult for them to judge the exact speed of motorcyclists?
#29. If your headlights fail and you cannot get them started again, what should you do?
If your headlights ever fail, turn the light switch on and off quickly to try to turn them on. If the headlights stay off, turn on your hazard lights, slow down, pull off the road and get help. It is dangerous and illegal to drive at night without headlights. You must get off the road as quickly as possible if your lights fail. Your parking lights are for parking, not driving
