Motorway Rules

Which vehicles should use the left-hand lane on a three-lane motorway?

Select one answer A Slow vehicles only B Large vehicles only C Emergency vehicles only D Any vehicle that’s not overtaking

On a motorway, all traffic should use the left-hand lane unless overtaking. When overtaking a number of slower vehicles, move back to the left-hand lane when you’re safely past. Check your mirrors frequently and do not stay in the middle or right-hand lane if the left-hand lane is free.

Motorway Rules

When may you stop on a motorway?

Select one answer A When you're tired and need a rest B In an emergency or breakdown C If your mobile phone rings D If you have to read a map

You should not normally stop on a motorway, but there may be occasions when you need to do so. If your vehicle breaks down or there's an emergency, stop on the hard shoulder and use the emergency telephones to call for assistance.

Motorway Rules

What's the speed limit for a car towing a trailer on a motorway?

Select one answer A 50 mph B 60 mph C 70 mph D 40 mph

If you’re towing a small, light trailer, it will not reduce your vehicle’s performance by very much and it may not be visible in your mirrors. However, strong winds or buffeting from large vehicles might cause the trailer to snake from side to side. Be aware of your speed and do not exceed the reduced speed limit imposed on vehicles towing trailers.

Motorway Rules

You're travelling in the left-hand lane of a three-lane motorway. How should you react to traffic joining from a slip road?

Select one answer A Switch on your hazard warning lights B Maintain a steady speed C Adjust your speed or change lane if you can do so safely D Increase your speed to make sure they join behind you

Plan well ahead when approaching a slip road. If you see traffic joining the motorway, be prepared to adjust your speed or move to another lane if it's safe to do so. This can help the flow of traffic joining the motorway, especially at peak times.

Motorway Rules

How should you use the lanes on a motorway?

Select one answer A Keep to the left-hand lane unless you're overtaking B Stay in one lane until you reach your exit C Overtake using the lane that’s clearest D Use the lane that has the least traffic

You should normally travel in the left-hand lane unless you're overtaking a slower-moving vehicle. When you've finished overtaking, move back into the left-hand lane, but do not cut across in front of the vehicle that you’ve overtaken.

Motorway Rules

You're travelling along a motorway. When are you allowed to overtake on the left?

Select one answer A When you can see well ahead that the hard shoulder is clear B When you warn drivers behind by signalling left C When in queues and traffic to your right is moving more slowly than you are D When the traffic in the right-hand lane is signalling right

Never overtake on the left, unless the traffic is moving in queues and the queue on your right is moving more slowly than the one you're in.

Motorway Rules

What's the national speed limit on motorways for cars and motorcycles?

Select one answer A 50 mph B 60 mph C 70 mph D 30 mph

Travelling at the national speed limit does not allow you to hog the right-hand lane. Always use the left-hand lane whenever possible. When leaving a motorway, get into the left-hand lane well before your exit. Reduce your speed on the slip road and look out for sharp bends or curves and traffic queuing at roundabouts.

Motorway Rules

What should you do when you're approaching roadworks on a motorway?

Select one answer A Stay very close to the vehicle in front B Obey the speed limit C Always use the hard shoulder D Speed up to clear the area quickly

Be aware of reduced speed limits at roadworks. Speed limits shown inside a red circle are mandatory and cameras are often used to enforce the reduced limit. Slow down in good time and keep your distance from the vehicle in front.

Your vehicle has broken down on a motorway. In which direction should you walk to find the nearest emergency telephone?

Select one answer A In the direction of the nearest exit B In the direction shown on the marker posts C Facing oncoming traffic D With the traffic flow

Along the hard shoulder there are marker posts at 100-metre intervals. These will direct you to the nearest emergency telephone.
