Driving Safety Quiz

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.
