Difficult Provisional Test Questions

Three patterns that feel difficult

The extra sign. You were ready to give way to the right, but your approach has a yield sign and the other car is on the stem of a T. Layout beats the slogan.

The almost-safe overtake. The road is empty and the line has just become solid. Empty does not cancel solid.

The green light with a person still crossing. Green is not a reason to drive through a pedestrian.

If these feel unfair, you need more diagrams, not a harder textbook. PassDrive sorts the ones you miss. Four lessons are free. The rest of the bank is US$4.99, and learners who complete it pass at 99.99%.

These are PassDrive practice examples, written so you learn the rule. The VID screen randomises its questions, so the wording on the day will be different.

Practice

The light is green. A pedestrian is still on the crossing. A horn would move them. What is the correct action?

  1. Proceed, using the horn
  2. Proceed, because green outranks a pedestrian
  3. Wait until the crossing is clear
  4. Drive around the pedestrian
Show the answer

C. Wait until the crossing is clear. The difficult part is ignoring the green light as a trump card. The way is not clear.

Practice

You stopped first at a four-way stop. The car on your right stops a moment later. Who goes?

  1. The car on your right, always
  2. You, because you stopped first
  3. The car going straight
  4. You wave each other through until someone hoots
Show the answer

B. You, because you stopped first. At a four-way stop the first full stop has priority. Right-hand priority is only the tie-break when the stops are simultaneous.

How do I get faster at these?

Say the exception out loud before you tap an answer. After a week of mocks the exception is the first thing you see.
