Free Vehicle Loading mock theory test

1. Whoever loaded the vehicle
2. The driver
3. The vehicle's owner, even when not present
4. The insurance company

Answer: B. As the driver, you must not use your vehicle with an insecure load or beyond its weight limits — the responsibility sits with you, whoever did the loading. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 98

1. It lowers the centre of gravity and improves stability
2. It raises the centre of gravity, reducing stability and increasing fuel consumption
3. It has no effect if you drive under 50 mph
4. It improves grip in crosswinds

Answer: B. Weight up high makes the car lean more in bends and react more to crosswinds, and the drag burns more fuel. Load heavy items low in the vehicle and take corners more gently. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 98 and Annexe 6

1. Brake firmly to bring it under control
2. Accelerate out of the snake
3. Ease off the accelerator and reduce speed gently until it stabilises
4. Steer sharply in the opposite direction to the sway

Answer: C. Braking or steering against the sway makes snaking worse. Ease off gradually, let the speed fall gently, and the outfit will settle — then consider load distribution and noseweight before continuing. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 98 (towing guidance)

1. 70 mph, the same as any car
2. 60 mph — and it must not use the right-hand lane of a three-lane motorway
3. 50 mph in all lanes
4. There is no specific limit when towing

Answer: B. Towing lowers the limits: 60 mph on motorways and dual carriageways, 50 mph on single carriageways — and outfits towing must keep out of the outside lane of a motorway with three or more lanes. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 124 and 265

1. The child
2. The driver
3. The front-seat passenger
4. Whoever owns the car

Answer: B. The driver is legally responsible for children under 14: children must normally use the correct child restraint until they're 12 years old or 135 cm tall, whichever comes first. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 99–102

1. Loose, so they can settle comfortably
2. Suitably restrained — a harness, carrier or guard — so they can't distract you or hurt themselves
3. On the front passenger seat
4. Only in the boot

Answer: B. An unrestrained animal can distract you or become a projectile in a crash. Use a seat-belt harness, carrier, cage or dog guard. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 57

1. Nothing — modern cars self-adjust
2. Tyre pressures and headlight aim, as the handbook specifies for heavy loads
3. Only the driver's seat position
4. The wing mirrors

Answer: B. A heavy load squats the rear: the handbook typically specifies higher tyre pressures, and headlights may need aiming down to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 97 and Annexe 6

1. Only that the trailer lights work
2. That the load is within your car's towing limit, the coupling is secure, the breakaway cable is attached and the lights work
3. That the trailer is heavier than the car
4. Nothing extra beyond normal checks

Answer: B. Towing failures are usually preparation failures: respect the manufacturer's towing limit, confirm the hitch and breakaway cable, and check lights and indicators respond before moving off. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 98
