Practical Driving Test in UK / Vehicle Loading Category

Practical Driving Test in UK / Vehicle Loading Category



Topics include: 
  • Towing - understanding the affects of towing a trailer and the relevant regulations.
  • Stability - understanding how to correctly load vehicles, trailers and caravans and how towing can affect vehicle stability and safety. 
Questions concern vehicle stability and towing regulations. 
When towing a trailer or caravan on a motorway:
  • Do not exceed 60 mph.
  • Do not use the right-hand lane unless directed to do so.
  • To stop a trailer or caravan from snaking you should ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually. 
Facts To Know 
  • It is advised you inflate your tyres to a higher pressure than normal when carrying a heavy load, or when driving fast for long distances.
  • A heavy vehicle load, on a roof rack or in the car, will reduce stability and affect steering and handling.
  • The driver is always responsible for making sure the vehicle isn't overloaded.
  • Any load must be securely fastened.
  • To improve handling when towing a caravan fit a stabiliser to the towbar.
  • When towing a caravan never allow passengers to travel in it.
  • Using a roof rack will increase fuel consumption.
  • A child passenger under the age of three, should be seated in a child seat.
  • Animals should be restrained so that they can't interfere with the driver. 
Towing A Trailer
  • Before towing a trailer check your vehicles handbook to learn the maximum noseweight of your vehicle's tow ball.
  • The weight of a trailer should be no more than 85% of the car that is pulling it.
  • A breakaway cable is a safety device fitted to a trailer.
  • When loading a trailer spread the load evenly.

  • Warning Devices - knowing how to warn other road users of an accident
  • Reporting Procedures - knowing how and when to call the emergency services and knowing when you must report road accidents
  • Safety Regulations - understanding the warning signs and dangers for vehicles carrying hazardous loads.
Use Hazard Warning lights
  • When stopped and temporarily obstructing traffic
  • When you slow down quickly on a motorway because of a hazard ahead
  • When you have broken down
First Aid
  • To stop bleeding without the aid of a bandage apply pressure to the wound and, if possible, raise it.
  • If an accident victim has a burn, you should try and cool it, with clean, cool, non-toxic liquid, for at least 10 minutes. If anything is stuck to the burn do not remove it.
  • You find an unconscious casualty. You should check their breathing for at least 10 seconds. Do this by placing your cheek over their mouth and nose (to feel for breath) and then looking to see if the chest rises.
  • If the casualty is breathing you should still check that their airway is clear.
  • If a casualty isn't breathing then chest compression should be given at a rate of 100 per minute. The correct depth to press is 4 to 5 centimeters.
  • When giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a child you must breath into their mouth gently.
  • A person suffering from shock may be sweating and have pale grey skin.
  • An unconscious motorcyclist must only be moved if absolutely necessary, as moving them could worsen any injuries. Do not remove their helmet. Seek medical assistance straight away.
  • Any casualty with suspected back injuries should not be moved. 
At any crash if you find an unconscious casualty your first priority is to check their breathing. You must then:
  • Check circulation
  • Check if the airway is clear. If it isn't, and you can hear snoring or gurgling noises, remove any obvious obstruction. Only tilt the head back gently as a last resort if the patient is unable to breathe. Ensure professional help is on the way.
  • Stop any heavy bleeding
  • Warn other traffic

  • Make sure all engines are switched off.
  • Call the emergency services.
  • Don't put yourself at risk.
  • Switch on your hazard warning lights.
  • Get people who are not injured away from the scene (this is your priority). 
If you are in a collision that causes damage or injury to any other person, vehicle, animal or property then you must stop and give the following details to anyone who has reasonable grounds for requiring them.
  • Your name
  • The vehicle owner's name and address
  • The vehicle's make and registration 
  • Insurance details 
If you cause damage to property and the property owner is not available then you must inform the police within 24 hours.
If you are involved in a road accident the police may ask to see your driving licence, insurance certificate, MOT certificate.
Long Tunnels
  • When driving through long tunnels variable message signs will warn you of congestion or an incident ahead.
  • Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. If the vehicle in front stops or breakdown you may need to manoeuvre passed it.
  • If you breakdown use your hazard lights and call for help.
  • Tune your radio to the frequency shown.
  • If your vehicle catches fire continue through the tunnel if you can. If you can't try and put the fire out. 
Level Crossings
If you breakdown on a level crossing:
  • Leave your vehicle and get yourself and any passengers away from the crossing
  • Phone the signal operator
  • Move the vehicle if a signal operator tells you to 
Motorways
  • If you get a puncture on a motorway pull up on the hard should and use the emergency phone to call for help.
  • Use your hazard lights to warn other drivers if you have to slow down quickly due to a hazard ahead or if your breakdown and can't reach the hard shoulder.
  • A large box falls from a lorry. The lorry doesn't stop. You should pull onto the hard shoulder near an emergency telephone and report it. 
When using an emergency telephone you will be asked
  • The number on the telephone
  • Details of yourself and your vehicle
  • Are you a member of a motoring organisation 
Other Facts
  • If your engine catches fire you should pull up as safely and as quickly as you can and call the fire brigade. Do not open the bonnet.

  • Road Markings - knowing the meanings of road markings.
  • Regulations - knowing the regulations associated with road signs & markings.
A good knowledge of road signs and road markings is essential. For pictures and explanations see our road signs page. For motorway signs see our motorway driving page. 
To test your knowledge you can take our two road signs theory test - road sign test 02 


General Road Sign Rules 
Order Road Sign
You must obey signs giving orders. These signs are usually in red circles.Instruction Road Sign
Signs that give instructions are blue and circular give instructions.
Tourist Information Road Sign
Signs with brown backgrounds display tourist information.
Direction Road Sign
White rectangles are used for direction signs on non-primary routes or for plates used in
combination with warning and regulatory signs.

Green rectangles are used for direction signs on primary routes.

Blue rectangles are used for information signs except on motorways where blue
is used for direction signs.
Hand Signal Left Turn
Hand signal indicating the driver intends to turn left.
Hand Signal Slow Down
Hand signal indicating the driver intends to slow down. 
Road Markings
  • You would see a contraflow bus and cycle lane on a one-way street.

Centre Solid White Lines
You must not cross or straddle a solid white line in the centre of the road unless:
  • you're turning into a junction
  • you need to pass a stationary vehicle
  • you need to overtake a cyclist, horse or road maintenance vehicle if they're moving at 10mph or less. 
Traffic Lights
  • Red light - you must stop and wait behind the stop line.

Topics include: 
  • Speed Limits - Knowing the different speed limits and when to use these speed limits.
  • Lighting - using car lighting effectively and safely to see and be seen when driving.
  • Lane Discipline - know and understanding lane rule regulations.
  • Parking - where to safely park and knowing the different parking restrictions and regulations.
Again, safety is a theme that dominates many questions. 
Many questions present every day road situations where the correct answer is always the safest options, for example:
You are on a busy main road and find that you are travelling in the wrong direction. What should you do? 
  1. Turn into a side road on the right and reverse into the main road
  2. make a U-turn in the main road
  3. Make a 'three-point' turn in the main road
  4. Turn round in a side road
The correct answer, the safest, is 4. No question will require an answer such as 'speed up', 'sound your horn' or 'flash your lights'

4You can park on the right-hand side of a road at night

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and UnderstandingRed rear reflectors show up when headlights shine on them. These are useful when you are parked at night but will only reflect if you park in the same direction as the traffic flow. Normally you should park on the left, but if you�re in a one-way street you may also park on the right-hand side.

5You are approaching a busy junction. There are several lanes with road markings. At the last moment you realise that you are in the wrong lane. You should

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and UnderstandingThere are times where road markings can be obscured by queuing traffic, or you might be unsure which lane you need to be in. If you realise that you�re in the wrong lane, don�t cut across lanes or bully other drivers to let you in. Follow the lane you�re in and find somewhere safe to turn around if you need to. 


 continue it that lane
 force your way across
 stop until the area has cleared
 use clear arm signals to cut across
6Where may you overtake on a one-way street?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and UnderstandingYou can overtake other traffic on either side when travelling in a one-way street. Make full use of your mirrors and ensure that it�s clear all around before you attempt to overtake. Look for signs and road markings and use the most suitable lane for your destination. 


 Only on the left-hand side
 Overtaking is not allowed
 Only on the right-hand side
 Either on the right or the left
7When going straight ahead at a roundabout you should

Knowledge and UnderstandingWhen you want to go straight on at a roundabout, don�t signal as you approach it, but indicate left just after you pass the exit before the one you wish to take. 


 indicate left before leaving the roundabout
 not indicate at any time
 indicate right when approaching the roundabout
 indicate left when approaching the roundabout
8Which vehicle might have to use a different course to normal at roundabouts?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and UnderstandingA long vehicle may have to straddle lanes either on or approaching a roundabout so that the rear wheels don�t cut in over the kerb. If you�re following a long vehicle, stay well back and give it plenty of room. 


 Sports car
 Van
 Estate car
 Long vehicle
9You must stop when signalled to do so by which THREE of these?

Mark THREE answers.

Knowledge and UnderstandingLooking well ahead and �reading� the road will help you to anticipate hazards. This will enable you to stop safely at traffic lights or if ordered to do so by an authorised person. 


 A police officer
 A pedestrian
 A school crossing patrol
 A bus driver
 A red traffic light
10You are intending to turn right at a crossroads. An oncoming driver is also turning right. It will normally be safer to

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and UnderstandingAt some junctions the layout may make it difficult to turn offside to offside. If this is the case, be prepared to pass nearside to nearside, but take extra care as your view ahead will be obscured by the vehicle turning in front of you. 


 keep the other vehicle to your RIGHT and turn behind it (offside to offside)
 keep the other vehicle to your LEFT and turn in front of it (nearside to nearside)
 carry on and turn at the next junction instead
 hold back and wait for the other driver to turn first
11You meet an obstruction on your side of the road. You should

Knowledge and UnderstandingTake care if you have to pass a parked vehicle on your side of the road. Give way to oncoming traffic if there isn�t enough room for you both to continue safely. 


 carry on, you have priority
 give way to oncoming traffic
 wave oncoming vehicles through
 accelerate to get past first
12Which THREE places must you not park?

Mark THREE answers.

Knowledge and UnderstandingOther traffic will have to pull out to pass you. They may have to use the other side of the road, and if you park near the brow of a hill, they may not be able to see oncoming traffic. It�s important not to park at or near a bus stop as this could inconvenience passengers, and may put them at risk as they get on or off the bus. Parking near a junction could restrict the view for emerging vehicles. 


 Near the brow of a hill
 At or near a bus stop
 Where there is no pavement
 Within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction
 On a 40 mph road
13You are travelling on a well-lit road at night in a built-up area. By using dipped headlights you will be able to

Knowledge and UnderstandingIf you can�t see all around your vehicle get out and have a look. You could also ask someone reliable outside the vehicle to guide you. A small child could easily be hidden directly behind you. Don�t take risks. 


 use your horn
 rev your engine
 get out and check
 reverse slowly
15When may you reverse from a side road into a main road?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and UnderstandingDon�t reverse into a main road from a side road. The main road is likely to be busy and the traffic on it moving quickly. Cut down the risks by reversing into a quiet side road. 


 Only if both roads are clear of traffic

Facts To Know
  • The national speed limit on motorways for cars and motorcycles 70 mph.
  • When joining a motorway, give way to traffic already on the motorway.
  • Vehicles towing trailers cannot travel in the right-hand lane of a motorway (unless all other lanes are closed). The maximum speed limit for them is 60 mph.
  • The left-hand lane can be used by any vehicle.
  • The left-hand lane should be used for normal driving. Use the centre and right-hand lanes for overtaking.
  • Green studs run between a motorway and its slip road.
  • White studs run between the lanes on a motorway.
  • Amber studs run between the central reservation and the carriageway.
  • Red studs run between the carriageway and the hard shoulder.
  • The hard shoulder should normally only be used for stopping in an emergency. You can however travel on the hard shoulder when signs direct you to do so.
  • An Emergency Refuge Area is an area on a motorway for use in cases of emergency or breakdown.
  • If you breakdown but can't get to the hard shoulder you should turn on your hazard warning lights.
  • When leaving the hard shoulder to rejoin the main carriageway you should gain speed on the hard shoulder before moving out into the carriageway.
  • If you breakdown on a motorway and need to call for help it may be better to use one of the emergency roadside phones , as this way your location will be accurately known. If you use a mobile phone you can check your location from the marker posts on the left.
  • Most of the emergency phones are linked to the Highways Agency Control Centre.
  • Marker posts at 100-metre intervals point you in the direction of the nearest phone.
  • Highways Agency Traffic Officers are able to stop and direct anyone on a motorway.
  • A red cross displayed above a lane means do not travel in the lane.
  • A crawler lane on a motorway is found on a steep gradient.
  • A number displayed above a lane i.e. 50 means the speed limit for the lane is 50 mph.
  • If you get puncture on the motorway you should use an emergency phone to call for assistance.
  • Continuous high speeds make vehicle breakdowns more likely.
  • If traffic ahead of you slows or stops suddenly you can turn on your hazard warning lights for a short time to warn traffic behind you.
  • In a contraflow system there are likely to be lower speed limits.
  • When going through a contraflow: don't switch lanes, don't get too close to the vehicle in front. 
You should stop on a motorway:
  • If red lights show above every lane
  • When told to by the police
  • When signalled by a Highways Agency Officer
If you have to stop on the hard shoulder:
  • Turn on your hazard lights
  • Switch on your side lights if visibility is poor
  • Don't open the offside, those nearest the carriageway, doors
  • you and your passengers should leave the car from the nearside doors and wait on the embankment. 
The following cannot use the motorway:
  • Learner car drivers
  • Farm tractors and other slow-moving vehicles 
  • Cyclists
  • Learner motorcyclists
  • Motorcycles under 50cc 
  • Horse riders
Active Traffic Management (ATM)
ATM tries to reduce congestion and make journey times more reliable. Where in use, mandatory speed limit signs will show on the gantries above the motorway lanes.
  • In ATM area, the hard shoulder is sometimes used as a normal traffic lane. If a speed limit sign is active above the hard shoulder, then the hard shoulder can be used as a normal lane.
  • If A red cross shows above the hard shoulder, it cannot be used as a normal lane.

1When joining a motorway you must always

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding You should give way to traffic already on the motorway. Where possible they may move over to let you in but don�t force your way into the traffic stream. The traffic may be travelling at high speed so you should match your speed to fit in. 


 use the hard shoulder
 stop at the end of the acceleration lane
 come to a stop before joining the motorway
 give way to traffic already on the motorway
2You break down on a motorway. You need to call for help. Why may it be better to use an emergency roadside telephone rather than a mobile phone?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding On a motorway it is best to use a roadside emergency telephone so that the emergency services are able to locate you easily. The nearest telephone is shown by an arrow on marker posts at the edge of the hard shoulder. If you use a mobile, they will need to know your exact location. Before you call, find out the number on the nearest marker post. This number will identify your exact location. 


 It connects you to a local garage
 Using a mobile phone will distract other drivers
 It allows easy location by the emergency services
 Mobile phones do not work on motorways
3After a breakdown you need to rejoin the main carriageway of a motorway from the hard shoulder. You should

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding Wait for a safe gap in the traffic before you move out. Indicate your intention and use the hard shoulder to gain speed but don�t force your way into the traffic. 


 move out onto the carriageway then build up your speed
 move out onto the carriageway using your hazard lights
 gain speed on the hard shoulder before moving out onto the carriageway
 wait on the hard shoulder until someone flashes their headlights at you
4What colour are the reflective studs between a motorway and its slip road?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding The studs between the carriageway and the hard shoulder are normally red. These change to green where there is a slip road. They will help you identify slip roads when visibility is poor or when it is dark.

5On a three-lane motorway which lane should you normally use?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding On a three-lane motorway you should travel in the left-hand lane unless you�re overtaking. This applies regardless of the speed at which you�re travelling. 


 Left
 Right
 Centre
 Either the right or centre
6You are joining a motorway. Why is it important to make full use of the slip road?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding Try to join the motorway without affecting the progress of the traffic already travelling on it. Always give way to traffic already on the motorway. At busy times you may have to slow down to merge into slow-moving traffic. 


 Because there is space available to turn round if you need to
 To allow you direct access to the overtaking lanes
 To build up a speed similar to traffic on the motorway
 Because you can continue on the hard shoulder
7Which FOUR of these must not use motorways?

Mark FOUR answers.

Knowledge and UnderstandingLearner car drivers and motorcyclists are not allowed on the motorway until they have passed their practical test. Motorways have rules that you need to know before you venture out for the first time. When you�ve passed your practical test it�s a good idea to have some lessons on motorways. Check with your instructor about this. 


 Learner car drivers
 Motorcycles over 50cc
 Double-decker buses
 Farm Tractors
 Horse riders
 Cyclists
8Immediately after joining a motorway you should normally

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding Stay in the left-hand lane long enough to get used to the higher speeds of motorway traffic. 


 try to overtake
 re-adjust your mirrors
 position your vehicle in the centre lane
 keep in the left-hand lane
9You are allowed to stop on a motorway when you

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding You MUST stop if there are red lights flashing above every lane on the motorway. However, if any of the other lanes do not show flashing red lights or red cross you may move into that lane and continue if it is safe to do so. 


 need to walk and get fresh air
 wish to pick up hitchhikers
 are told to do so by flashing red lights
 need to use a mobile phone
10You are travelling along the left-hand lane of a three-lane motorway. Traffic is joining from a slip road. You should

Knowledge and Understanding You should move to another lane if it is safe to do so. This can greatly assist the flow of traffic joining the motorway, especially at peak times. 


 race the other vehicles
 move to another lane
 maintain a steady speed
 switch on your hazard flashers
11On motorways you should never overtake on the left unless

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding Only overtake on the left if traffic is moving slowly in queues and the traffic on your right is moving more slowly than the traffic in your lane. 


 you can see well ahead that the hard shoulder is clear
 the traffic in the right-hand lane is signalling right
 you warn drivers behind by signalling left
 there is a queue of slow-moving traffic to your right that is moving more slowly than you are
12The aim of an Active Traffic Management scheme on a motorway is to

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding Active Traffic Management schemes are intended to reduce congestion and make journey times more reliable. In these areas the hard shoulder may be used as a running lane to ease congestion at peak times or in the event of an incident. It may appear that you could travel faster for a short distance, but keeping traffic flow at a constant speed may improve your journey time. 


 prevent overtaking
 reduce rest stops
 prevent tailgating
 reduce congestion
13Why can it be an advantage for traffic speed to stay constant over a longer distance?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding When traffic travels at a constant speed over a longer distance, journey times normally improve. You may feel that you could travel faster for short periods but this won�t generally improve your overall journey time. Signs will show the maximum speed at which you should travel. 


 You will do more start-stop driving
 You will use far more fuel
 You will be able to use more direct routes
 Your overall journey distance time will normally improve
14On a motorway what is used to reduce traffic bunching?

Mark one answer.

Knowledge and Understanding Congestion can be reduced by keeping traffic at a constant speed. At busy times maximum speed limits are displayed on overhead gantries. These can be varied quickly depending on the amount of traffic. By keeping to a constant speed on busy sections of motorway overall journey times are normally improved. 


 Variable speed limits
 Contraflow systems
 National speed limits
