Free Vulnerable Road Users mock theory test

1. You — vehicles always have priority over pedestrians
2. The pedestrian — you should give way to people crossing or waiting to cross
3. Whoever moves first
4. The pedestrian, but only on a marked crossing

Answer: B. Under the hierarchy of road users, traffic turning into or out of a junction should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross the road they're turning into. Reference: The Highway Code — rules H2 and 170

1. At least 1.5 metres
2. Half a metre is sufficient
3. One car door's width
4. No specific guidance exists

Answer: A. Leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking a cyclist at up to 30 mph — and more at higher speeds or in bad weather. If you can't leave that space, hold back until you can. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 163

1. Quickly, to spend less time alongside the horse
2. Sound your horn so the rider knows you're there
3. Slow to a maximum of 10 mph and allow at least 2 metres of space
4. Rev the engine and pass close to the verge

Answer: C. Horses are easily startled. Pass wide and slow — no more than 10 mph and at least 2 metres of space — with no sudden noise. Be ready to stop if the rider signals you to. Reference: The Highway Code — rules H1, 163 and 214–215

1. They are a crossing patrol officer
2. They are deaf as well as blind
3. They are partially sighted only
4. They have priority only at zebra crossings

Answer: B. A white cane with a red band (or a dog with a red-and-white harness) indicates the person is both deaf and blind — they may not see or hear you, so give them time and never assume they know you're there. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 207

1. Sound your horn so they hurry
2. Drive around behind them
3. Be patient and allow them to cross in their own time
4. Wave them back to the pavement

Answer: C. Older pedestrians may misjudge your speed and need longer to cross. Slow down, be patient, and don't intimidate them with revving, horn or creeping forward. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 204 and 207

1. They're lost
2. They may legitimately stay left while continuing around the roundabout — give them room
3. They must leave at the next exit
4. They're giving way to you

Answer: B. Cyclists and horse riders often stay left through a roundabout even when going right — it's safer for them than crossing lanes. Don't overtake them within their lane or cut across them. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 77 and 187

1. Motorcyclists must always overtake queues on the left
2. Riders may be filtering between lanes and can appear quickly where you don't expect them
3. It's only required on motorways
4. Motorcycles have priority in queues

Answer: B. Filtering is legal and common in slow traffic. Before changing lanes or turning across a queue, check mirrors and blind spots specifically for the narrow, fast-closing profile of a motorcycle. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 88, 180 and 211

1. Proceed — flashing amber means go
2. Give way until the crossing is clear, then proceed
3. Sound your horn to hurry them
4. Stop and wait for the green light regardless

Answer: B. Flashing amber at a pelican means give way to anyone still on the crossing; you may proceed only once it's clear. Never harass people crossing — some simply need longer. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 196
