You see a nice straight bit of road but it has solid white line on the right with a broken white line nearest to you down the centre. You go for it and overtake anyway.

What Offense have you done?

2. Someone is approaching a croosing on a road you are driving along. You realise that person is definitely going to cross. What should you do?

3. What is the national speed limit on a dual carriageway? a)50mph b)60mph c)70mph

6. You are stuck in a queue on the Motorway for 5 minutes. you are in lane 3. Just as the traffic starts moving your car stalls and won't start. You realise you have run out of fuel. What should you do? a) Stay in the car and put your hazard lights on. b) get out and run to the hard shoulder. c) get out and wait near the car in the central reservation d) get out and walk back up the Motorway to warn others of your car by waving from the central reservation

7. You are driving along a road. You see a car broken down and the driver is displaying a small blue flag from the window with the outline of a wheelcahir on it. What does this mean?

8. If you are parked on a yellow line and come back to your car to find a parking attendent writing out a ticket, you can get in a drive off before they stick the ticket on the car you won't get a fine. True or false

9. Before moving away from the kerb you should look: a) at your left blind spot b) at your right blind spot c) at both blind spots

10. The fastest I ever drove in the UK was 152mph with four in the car.  The police did see me. Why was I not prosecuted?
