   Handbook: Your keys — Road closures due to flooding and wet weather (p. 151)

2. Question 2: B. You must give way to the car on your right

   At a crossroad with no signs or lines, you must give way to vehicles on your right that are approaching, entering or on the intersection.

   Handbook: Your keys — Giving way to the right (p. 83)

3. Question 3: B. Go another way, as you must not turn left

   This sign means you must not turn left at the intersection at all, so you need to take another route.

   Handbook: Your keys — Signs and signals (p. 63)

4. Question 4: B. Once the authorities say the road is open again

   Even as flood water goes down, do not drive over the road or bridge until the authorities have declared it open again.

   Handbook: Your keys — Road closures due to flooding and wet weather (p. 151)

5. Question 5: D. Slow down and look and listen for trains

   This sign warns of a railway level crossing ahead, so slow down, look both ways and listen for trains.

   Handbook: Your keys — Railway level crossings (pp. 101–102)

6. Question 6: D. You do, because your road is the one that ends

   At a T-intersection, the driver on the road that ends must give way to vehicles on the continuing road, even if they come from the left.

   Handbook: Your keys — Giving way at a T-intersection (p. 85)

7. Question 7: D. Wait before the sign until the car has passed

   You must not drive past this sign on a narrow length of road while a vehicle is coming, so wait until the car has passed.

   Handbook: Your keys — Giving way (p. 82)

8. Question 8: A. Slow to a safe speed before the bend

   This sign warns that the road bends to the left ahead, so slow to a safe speed before you reach the bend.

   Handbook: Your keys — Warning signs (p. 65)

9. Question 9: B. Up to 2 minutes

   You must not park here, but you may stop for up to 2 minutes to drop off or pick up people or goods.

   Handbook: Your keys — Parking (p. 120)

10. Question 10: B. Wait before the crossing until there is room

    You must not enter a level crossing unless your whole vehicle can clear it straight away, so wait before the crossing.

    Handbook: Your keys — Entering or leaving a level crossing (p. 102)

11. Question 11: D. The other car, as you turn across its path

    Once both drivers have stopped and given way to other traffic, the car turning right must give way because it turns across the other car's path.

    Handbook: Your keys — Giving way (p. 83)

12. Question 12: D. Oncoming traffic will soon share this road

    This sign warns that oncoming traffic shares the road ahead, so keep left and watch for vehicles coming towards you.

    Handbook: Your keys — Warning signs (p. 65)

13. Question 13: C. Do not pass it while it is stopped there

    The car may have stopped to give way to someone you cannot see, so you must not pass a car stopped at the crossing.

    Handbook: Your keys — Giving way (p. 87)

14. Question 14: A. Slow down and obey any temporary speed limit

    This sign warns of roadwork ahead, so slow down, expect changed road conditions and follow any temporary speed limit.

    Handbook: Your keys — Roadwork signs (p. 99)

15. Question 15: D. Until you pass an end shared zone sign

    The low limit applies from this sign until you pass an end shared zone sign.

    Handbook: Your keys — Signs and signals (p. 64)

16. Question 16: B. Make a U-turn, which lights ban without it

    You must not make a U-turn at traffic lights unless a sign like this one says you may, so the sign allows a U-turn there.

    Handbook: Your keys — Making turns: U-turns (p. 76)

17. Question 17: C. Vehicles and riders already on the roundabout

    When you enter a roundabout, you must give way to all vehicles, bicycle riders and other riders already on the roundabout.

19. Question 19: A. Turn left or right, because your road ends

    This sign warns of a T-intersection, where your road ends at a crossing road and you must turn left or right.

    Handbook: Your keys — Warning signs (p. 65)

20. Question 20: B. You can be fined and get demerit points
