Driving Safety Quiz

Study Notes

Driving License and Regulations

G1 and G2 licenses have specific restrictions regarding driving times and passenger allowances.
Drivers with a G1 license cannot drive from midnight till 5 AM, during bad weather, or in rush hours.
G1 drivers can only operate vehicles on highways with speed limits over 80 km/h when accompanied by a certified instructor.

Driving in Adverse Conditions

In heavy fog, low beam headlights should be used to enhance visibility without causing glare.
Safe distance from the vehicle in front should be maintained, typically at least three to five car lengths.

Traffic Signals and Intersections

A red traffic signal requires drivers to stop and yield to pedestrians before proceeding cautiously.
At intersections, if the road is blocked, drivers should stop and wait for traffic to clear instead of entering.

Hand Signals and Vehicle Control

Correct hand signals are crucial for communicating intentions: arm straight out for a left turn, arm up for a right turn, arm down for stopping.
If wheels drop off the road, reduce speed and turn back gently when safe.

Emergency Procedures and Accidents

Vehicles must have flares or reflective devices placed 30 meters in front and behind if disabled on highways exceeding 60 km/h.
In case of an accident, a report to the police must be made immediately or within 24 hours.

Right-of-Way Rules

At uncontrolled intersections, the right-of-way is given to the vehicle approaching from the right.
Left turns at intersections should be made close to the left-hand side of the roadway to facilitate safe passage.

Speed and Distancing Regulations

When passing commercial vehicles, maintain a distance of at least 30 meters on highways.
When a truck is disabled, properly placing reflective signals significantly enhances road safety.

Use of Vehicle Lights

Vehicle lights must be on during poor visibility and from 1/2 hour before sunset to 1/2 hour after sunrise.
Parking lights are only to be used for parking; they are not suitable for driving in fog.

License Points and Suspensions

Accumulating 9 or more demerit points within the first two years can lead to license suspension.
Reinstatement of a license after a 15-point suspension doesn't reduce previous points; they remain on record.
