Free Rules of the Road mock theory test

1. 50 mph
2. 60 mph
3. 70 mph
4. 40 mph

Answer: B. For cars and motorcycles the national speed limit is 60 mph on a single carriageway and 70 mph on a dual carriageway or motorway. Limits are lower for vehicles towing. Reference: The Highway Code — Speed limits, rule 124

1. 20 mph
2. 30 mph
3. 40 mph
4. 50 mph

Answer: B. A road with regular street lighting usually has a 30 mph limit unless signs tell you otherwise. In Wales the default limit on restricted roads is 20 mph. Reference: The Highway Code — Speed limits, rule 124

1. Whenever the traffic lights are green
2. Only when your exit road is clear — or to turn right while waiting for oncoming traffic
3. Never, box junctions are for buses only
4. When at least half the box is clear

Answer: B. You must not enter the box unless your exit is clear. The exception: you may wait in the box to turn right when only oncoming traffic or other right-turning vehicles stop you. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 174

1. Traffic approaching from your left
2. Traffic already signalling to exit
3. Traffic approaching from your right, unless signs or markings say otherwise
4. Nobody — the vehicle on the roundabout gives way

Answer: C. On approach, give priority to traffic coming from your immediate right unless signs, markings or lights indicate otherwise. Watch cyclists and motorcyclists, who are harder to see. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 185

1. Anywhere, with hazard lights on
2. Facing oncoming traffic so your reflectors show
3. In the direction of the traffic flow, with parking lights on
4. On the pavement to keep the road clear

Answer: C. On roads with a limit above 30 mph you must not park at night facing against the traffic flow, and you must show parking lights — your rear reflectors only work facing the right way. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 248–249

1. Whenever the road ahead is clear
2. To pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a cyclist, horse or road maintenance vehicle moving at 10 mph or less — or to turn into a property or side road
3. Only at night
4. Never, in any circumstances

Answer: B. A solid white centre line on your side bans crossing it except for the listed exceptions: turning in, passing something stationary, or passing a cyclist, horse or works vehicle at 10 mph or under. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 129

1. Parking for parents at drop-off times
2. Keep the marked area clear — do not stop or park there, even briefly
3. Loading permitted for 10 minutes
4. Bus stop ahead

Answer: B. The zigzags keep sightlines clear so children and drivers can see each other. Stopping there — even 'just for a minute' — is exactly what causes school-gate collisions, and upright signs make it enforceable. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 238 and Road markings

1. On any dual carriageway
2. Approaching a pedestrian crossing — you must not overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or one that has stopped for it
3. Within 100 metres of any junction
4. On roads with street lighting

Answer: B. The vehicle you'd pass may be slowing or stopped precisely because someone is crossing — overtaking it drives you blind into the crossing. It's one of the most serious overtaking offences. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 165 and 191

The DVSA doesn't publish per-topic counts. Your 50 questions are drawn across all 14 official topics, so revise every category.

You need 43 out of 50 multiple-choice questions correct (86%), plus 44 out of 75 on the hazard perception clips. You must pass both parts in the same sitting.
