- b.A regulation you must obey, such as a prohibition or restriction
- c.The name of the next district
- d.That parking is free
Answer: b
Explanation: Round signs with a red border are regulatory signs. They order or prohibit an action, such as no entry or no right turn, and must be obeyed. Confirm current signage with the Transport Department.

At a red octagonal STOP sign you must:
- a.Slow down only
- b.Give way but keep moving
- c.Come to a complete stop, then give way before proceeding

A blue round sign showing a white arrow pointing in one direction means:
- a.No entry that way
- b.You must proceed in the direction of the arrow
- c.Give way to the left
- d.End of a restriction
Answer: b
Explanation: A blue round sign is a mandatory sign. A white directional arrow means you must go the way the arrow points, for example keep left or turn ahead.
- 4. Right of Way & Giving Way
Where overtaking is legal and safe in Hong Kong, you should normally pass a vehicle on its:
- a.Left side
- b.Kerb side
- c.Right side
- d.Either side
Answer: c
Explanation: Because Hong Kong drives on the left, you overtake on the right, only when you can see it is clear and safe to do so. Never overtake near bends, crossings, or junctions.
- 5. Right of Way & Giving Way
You are on a road with yellow criss-cross lines painted on a box junction. You may enter the box only when:
- a.The light is green, regardless of traffic
- b.You are turning left
- c.Another car is already in it
- d.Your exit is clear so you will not stop in the box
Answer: d
Explanation: A yellow box junction must not be entered unless your exit road is clear, so you do not block cross traffic. The exception is when turning and only oncoming traffic stops you.
- 6. Sharing the Road Safely
A pedestrian is waiting at a zebra crossing ahead of you. You should:
- a.Continue; they must wait for a gap
- b.Slow down and be ready to stop and give way
- c.Speed up to pass first
- d.Flash your lights and keep going
Answer: b
Explanation: Pedestrians have priority at a zebra crossing. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give way. Do not overtake a vehicle that has stopped at the crossing.
- 7. Sharing the Road Safely
A simple way to judge a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead in good conditions is to:
- a.Stay one metre back
- b.Match its exact speed and tailgate
- c.Keep the same gap in all weather
- d.Keep at least a two-second gap, and more in poor conditions
Answer: d
Explanation: The two-second rule gives time to react and stop. Pick a fixed point the car ahead passes and make sure two seconds pass before you reach it. Double the gap in rain or poor visibility.
- 8. Speed & Road Conditions
A posted speed limit means you should:
- a.Always drive at exactly that speed
- b.Treat it as a minimum
- c.Not exceed it, and drive slower when conditions are poor
- d.Ignore it in light traffic
Answer: c
Explanation: A speed limit is the maximum for good conditions. Drive below it when rain, traffic, fog, or darkness make higher speeds unsafe.
- 9. Speed & Road Conditions
In fog or very low visibility you should:
- a.Use full high beam to see further
- b.Follow the car ahead closely by its lights
- c.Speed up to leave the fog
- d.Slow down, keep a larger gap, and use dipped headlights or fog lights
Answer: d
Explanation: Fog hides hazards and other vehicles, so slow down and increase your gap. Use dipped headlights or fog lights; high beam reflects off fog and dazzles you.
- 10. Alcohol, Fitness & Licensing
A police officer may require a driver to give a breath test for alcohol:
- a.Only after a fatal crash
- b.Only if the driver agrees in advance
- c.Where the officer lawfully suspects drink-driving or after certain offences or crashes
- d.Never in Hong Kong
Answer: c
Explanation: Officers can lawfully require a breath test where drink-driving is suspected or after certain traffic offences or collisions. Refusing a lawful test is itself an offence.
