In India, road signs are commonly grouped into three main categories. A circular sign is usually which type?
- a.Cautionary (warning)
- b.Mandatory (regulatory)✓
- c.Informatory (guide)
- d.Advertising
Mandatory or regulatory signs are usually circular and give orders you must obey, such as speed limits or prohibitions. The three main groups are mandatory, cautionary, and informatory. Confirm details with your Regional Transport Office (RTO).
A triangular sign with a red border most often serves as:
- a.A cautionary (warning) sign about a hazard ahead✓
- b.A mandatory order sign
- c.A place-name information sign
- d.A parking sign
Cautionary signs are triangular with a red border. They warn of hazards ahead such as a sharp bend, narrow bridge, or pedestrian crossing so you can slow down.
Rectangular signs, often blue or green, that show directions, distances, and facilities are:
- a.Mandatory signs
- b.Cautionary signs
- c.Informatory (guide) signs✓
- d.Prohibition signs
Informatory signs are usually rectangular and give guidance such as directions, distances, petrol pumps, or hospitals. They inform rather than command.
A red circular sign with a white horizontal bar means:
- a.Parking allowed
- b.Hospital ahead
- c.One way only
- d.No entry for vehicles✓
A red circle with a white horizontal bar is the No Entry sign. It prohibits vehicles from entering that road, which may be one-way against you.
At a red octagonal STOP sign you must:
- a.Slow down only if traffic is coming
- b.Come to a complete stop and give way before proceeding✓
- c.Sound the horn and go
- d.Stop only at night
An octagonal STOP sign requires a full stop at the line, then you give way to other traffic and pedestrians before moving off.
In India, you normally drive and keep to which side of the road?
- a.The left side✓
- b.The right side
- c.The centre
- d.Either side
India uses left-hand traffic. Keep to the left, and let faster traffic overtake on your right.
Where overtaking is legal and safe in India, you should normally pass a vehicle on its:
- a.Left side
- b.Kerb side
- c.Right side✓
- d.Either side
Because India drives on the left, you overtake on the right when the road ahead is clear and safe. Never overtake on bends, near crossings, or where your view is blocked.
When you reach a roundabout (traffic circle) in India, you should give way to traffic:
- a.Approaching from your left
- b.Already in the circle, coming from your right✓
- c.Waiting behind you
- d.Leaving the circle
In left-hand traffic a roundabout flows clockwise, so circulating vehicles reach you from the right. Give way to any vehicle already in the circle before entering.
Before you turn or change lanes, you must:
- a.Turn immediately without warning
- b.Speed up first
- c.Rely on other drivers to guess
- d.Check mirrors, give a clear signal in good time, and check it is safe✓
Signalling in good time and checking mirrors and blind spots lets others react and prevents collisions. Signal, check, and only then move when it is safe.
An ambulance or fire engine is approaching with its siren and flashing lights on. You should:
- a.Slow down and pull to the side to let it pass safely✓
- b.Speed up to stay ahead of it
- c.Stop suddenly in the middle of the lane
- d.Ignore it and continue
Emergency vehicles have priority. Check around you, slow down, and move to the side to give a clear path, without braking so hard that you cause a crash.
When riding a two-wheeler in India, the rider and pillion (back) rider are generally required to:
- a.Wear a helmet only on highways
- b.Wear a helmet only at night
- c.Wear a protective helmet✓
- d.Decide for themselves
Wearing a protective helmet is a widely established requirement for two-wheeler riders and pillion riders and greatly reduces head-injury risk. Confirm current rules with your RTO.
A pedestrian is crossing at a marked pedestrian crossing ahead. You should:
- a.Continue at speed
- b.Slow down and give way to the pedestrian✓
- c.Sound the horn and pass close
- d.Overtake the car stopped for them
Pedestrians have priority at marked crossings. Slow down and give way, and never overtake a vehicle that has stopped to let people cross.
In a car fitted with seat belts, the driver and front-seat passenger should:
- a.Wear the seat belt✓
- b.Wear it only on highways
- c.Leave it off in slow traffic
- d.Wear it only after a crash
Seat belts must be worn where they are fitted. They sharply reduce injury in a crash, so buckle up before you start driving.
The safest following distance behind the vehicle ahead is one that:
- a.Is as small as possible
- b.Is exactly one metre at all speeds
- c.Stays the same in rain and dry weather
- d.Lets you stop safely, and grows in poor conditions or at higher speed✓
A safe gap gives you time to see and stop. Increase it in rain, at higher speed, and when visibility is poor, because stopping distances become longer.
When driving through a school zone or a crowded market area, you should:
- a.Keep your normal speed
- b.Slow to a low, cautious speed and be ready to stop✓
- c.Speed up to clear it quickly
- d.Rely on pedestrians to move
Children and pedestrians can step out suddenly near schools and markets. Slow right down, stay alert, and be ready to stop. Obey any posted lower limit; exact figures vary by state and vehicle.
A posted speed limit should be understood as:
- a.The exact speed to always drive
- b.A minimum speed
- c.A maximum for good conditions, to be reduced when conditions are poor✓
- d.A limit only for trucks
A speed limit is the maximum allowed in good conditions. Drive below it when rain, fog, traffic, or darkness make higher speeds unsafe. Limits vary by road, vehicle, and state.
During heavy rain or on a wet road, you should:
- a.Reduce speed and increase your following distance✓
- b.Keep the same speed
- c.Brake hard and often
- d.Switch off your headlights
Wet roads cut grip and lengthen stopping distances. Slow down, leave a bigger gap, brake gently, and use headlights so you can see and be seen.
In thick fog or at night with poor visibility, the safest choice is to:
- a.Use high beam near oncoming traffic
- b.Follow the car ahead closely by its lights
- c.Drive faster to get through
- d.Slow down, keep a larger gap, and use dipped headlights✓
Poor visibility means less time to react, so slow down and increase your gap. Use dipped headlights; high beam reflects off fog and dazzles oncoming drivers.
The blood alcohol limit for driving in India is widely cited as about 30 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, which is roughly:
- a.0.00%
- b.0.03%✓
- c.0.08%
- d.0.15%
A limit of 30 mg per 100 ml of blood is about 0.03%, a low threshold. Even so, any alcohol impairs driving, so the safest choice is not to drink and drive. Confirm the current figure with the authorities.
A Learner's Licence (LLR) in India allows a new driver to:
- a.Drive alone anywhere immediately
- b.Skip the driving test entirely
- c.Learn to drive while accompanied and displaying required markings, before the full test✓
- d.Drive only commercial vehicles
A Learner's Licence lets you practise, usually accompanied by a fully licensed driver and with the required 'L' marking, before you pass the test for a permanent licence. Confirm the exact conditions with your RTO.
There is a minimum age to apply for a licence to drive a motor vehicle in India. This rule exists mainly to:
- a.Ensure drivers are mature enough to drive responsibly✓
- b.Increase paperwork
- c.Favour older cars
- d.Limit the number of drivers
Minimum-age rules help ensure a driver has the maturity and judgement to drive safely. The exact age depends on the vehicle class, so confirm the current requirement with your RTO.
You must always carry certain documents while driving. A driver should be able to produce:
- a.Only a photograph
- b.Nothing at all
- c.Just the vehicle keys
- d.A valid driving licence and the vehicle's required documents✓
Drivers must hold a valid licence for the class of vehicle and carry the vehicle's required documents, producing them when lawfully asked. Driving without a valid licence is an offence.
