Class 5 Mock Test

#1. How can you reduce the risks of backing up?

Back into driveways and parking spots so you can drive out facing forward.

All of the above are appropriate.

Do a 360-degree vision check. Do mirror checks and shoulder checks.

Walk around the back of your vehicle to check that your path is clear.

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.

#2. How can you help prevent aggressive behaviour in other drivers?

Yield the right-of-way and move over for merging traffic.

Do all of the above.

Pull over to let other drivers pass.

Avoid yelling at other drivers.

Sharing the road means considering other drivers. Don’t block passing lanes. If there is a long line of vehicles behind you, change lanes or pull over to let them pass. If other drivers start acting aggressively behind the wheel, respond with good driving manners. Give the other drivers plenty of room and the right-of-way. Don’t return aggression. Avoid eye contact, keep away from erratic drivers, and don’t yell or gesture back.

#3. What should a driver do while turning right?

Look over the shoulder and at 180 degree angle.

Look left and right on both sides

Look through side mirrors

#4. You are approaching a traffic light that suddenly changes from green to yellow. You should

sound your horn to warn that you are going through the light.

change lanes and proceed at the same speed.

increase your speed to get past the light before it turns red.

stop if you can do so safely.

When a traffic light changes to yellow, it is about to turn red next. You should stop if you can do so safely. (Never speed up to try to “beat the light” before it turns red.) But don’t stop suddenly and risk skidding or a rear-end collision by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution into the intersection.

#5. If you are driving a vehicle without antilock brakes (ABS) and you must stop suddenly in an emergency, you should _________ and steer in the direction you want to go.

Brake hard

Brake hard enough to lock the wheels

Brake but not hard enough to lock the wheels

Pump the brakes

For an emergency stop without ABS, press down hard on the brake pedal, but not hard enough to lock the wheels. If you lock the wheels, you may lose control of the steering and the car may skid. If you start to skid, quickly release the brakes and press hard again to regain control. Look and steer in the direction you want to go.

#6. When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing, you should

stop before the emergency vehicle.

slow down; also change lanes if possible.

change lanes if possible; otherwise slow down.

slow down.

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.

#7. High beam headlights should be used?

If can not see clearly within 350 meter.

If can not see clearly within 250 meter.

If can not see clearly within 180 meter.

If can not see clearly within 150 meter.

#8. What is the best way to prevent your vehicle from moving slightly from side to side while driving?

Look at the vehicles around you.

Look well ahead in the direction you want to go.

Look at the road directly in front of you.

Constantly glance from side to side.

Steer your vehicle in a smooth line so there will be little side‑to‑side movement. The best way to do this is to look well ahead in the direction you want to go. Your peripheral vision will help you centre your vehicle and keep you moving in a straight line. When you turn, look well ahead in the direction you are turning.

#9. At what time you should turn your head lights of you car?

30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise

40 minutes after sunset until 40 minutes before sunrise

45 minutes after sunset until 45 minutes before sunrise

35 minutes after sunset until 35 minutes before sunrise

#10. To keep on driving with full concentration as driver you should?

Turn on your headlights.

Watch well ahead of you.

keep predicting what might happen, and plan your moves.

#11. If your headlights fail and you cannot get them started again, what should you do?

Use your parking lights.

Turn on your hazard lights and pull off the road.

Keep driving.

Turn on your hazard lights and keep driving.

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

#12. If you see a pedestrian about to cross where there is no intersection, you should

Stop for the pedestrian.

Use your horn to warn the pedestrian.

Watch the pedestrian and be prepared to stop.

Keep driving.

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.

#13. What steps are involved in the See-Think-Do strategy?

Thinking of quick and safe solutions to hazards

All of the above

Observing space margins

Scanning for hazards

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.

#14. When weather conditions are not good in city, what should be the space between your car and car in front of you?

give them activities so they won't distract you.

loosen their restraints to make them more comfortable.

keep turning toward them and talking with them.

tell them to keep quiet throughout the drive.

When you drive, you are responsible for the safety of your passengers. Sometimes you will find that passengers can be distracting. Children often become bored with long drives and demand attention from you. This is a time when you will have to show leadership and maintain control. Tell children the rules before you start the trip. Tell them that you will not be able to talk very much because you need to concentrate on driving. Prepare in advance and give children activities if it’s a long drive

#16. On which surfaces car can skid?

Poor car conditions.

Due to frozen ice and snow water.

On poor roads

On rough roads.

#17. Which of the following is NOT likely to cause a skid?

Slamming on the brakes

Driving at speeds suitable for the road conditions

Turning a corner too fast

Poor driving skills

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

#18. After driving and driving which one is lowest chance that driver could do?

Decrease in reaction time than usual.

Increase in reaction time than usual

#19. Which of the following statements is true about using cellphones while driving?

Only fully licensed drivers may use hands-free cellphones.

All drivers may use hands-free cellphones.

Drivers may answer phone calls but may not read text messages.

Drivers may answer phone calls only when stopped at a red light.

B.C. drivers may not use hand-held cellphones except to call 9-1-1 to report an emergency.

#20. When you are approaching a stop sign, you must

Stop at the edge of the road.

Cross the solid white line and stop.

Stop before the broken yellow stop line.

Stop before the solid white stop line.

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

#21. On a freeway with more than two lanes in each direction, which lane should you use for normal driving?

Any lane

Left-hand lane

Right-hand lane

Centre lane or right-hand lane

Choose the lane that gives you the best visibility and allows you to go where you want to go. However, avoid the left lane for most normal driving; the left lane should be used as a passing lane. Usually, one of the centre lanes offers the smoothest flow of traffic.

#22. To drive through standing water, you should

Never use your brakes.

Apply light pressure on the brakes.

Pump the brake pedal.

Drive through as fast as possible.

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

#23. When entering a tunnel on a sunny day, you should

Keep your sunglasses on because removing them would distract you from driving.

Slow down to let your eyes adjust to the lower light levels.

Speed up to get through the tunnel as soon as possible.

Just keep driving as before.

It takes time for your eyes to adjust to dim light or darkness. The older you are, the longer it takes for your eyes to adjust. Before entering a tunnel, slow down to give your eyes more time to adjust to the lower light levels. Also remove your sunglasses and turn on your headlights for increased visibility.

#24. You can prevent yourself from serious injuries of collision?

By wearing the lap and shoulder belt.

By wearing the lap belt.

By holding on the steering.

By looking around more often.

#25. During school days speed should be?

50 km/h

60 km/h

30 km/h

80 km/h

#26. Pedestrians and cyclists are more at risk than car drivers because

they don’t have to follow the road rules and signs.

They are slower.

They are inattentive.

They are more likely to be severely injured than car drivers.

The laws of physics ensure that if a large, heavy object hits a smaller, lighter object, the smaller, lighter object will experience a much greater change in velocity. Of all road users, pedestrians and cyclists are among the most vulnerable. And unlike the occupants of a car, they lack the protection of an external frame. You always need to watch out for them.

#27. During heavy wind why you should keep extra space while passing motorcyclist?

Can turn into the lane due to heavy wind.

The gust of wind can push toward other side of lane.

Can turn due to heavy wind.

Can slow down.

#28. If you are going on long trip, to prevent tiredness which route you will choose?

Open the car window and take some fresh air.

Choose the route in which you have time to eat and rest.

Before traveling drink some coffee.

#29. When a school bus displays flashing red lights, what should you do?

Stop, yield to pedestrians, and then proceed with caution.

Pass it on the left if it's parked.

Stop no matter which direction you are travelling in.

Stop only if you are behind the bus.

A school bus has lights at the top that can flash alternately, and sometimes a swing‑out stop sign. When you see a school bus with alternating flashing red lights at the top, you must stop whether you are approaching it from the front or the rear. Vehicles in all lanes must stop and must not start to move again until the bus moves on or the bus driver signals that it’s safe by turning off the lights and pulling in the stop sign

#30. When should you use your vehicle’s turn signals?

When you're pulling out from a line of parked vehicles

In all of the above situations

When you're changing lanes

When you're turning a corner

You must always use your turn signal to let other road users know that you are planning to turn, change lanes, pull out or pull over. Signal well ahead to give other road users plenty of warning, but don’t apply your turn signal too soon because it might confuse other people. Note: There are situations in which your vehicle’s turn signals may not be noticeable, such as in very bright sunlight or when you’re pulling out from a line of parked vehicles. In these situations, use a hand signal as well as the turn signal.
