Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.

Give-Way Rules & Right of Way

In New Zealand, when you are turning at an intersection, you must give way to:

  1. AOnly vehicles on your left
  2. BOnly pedestrians
  3. CAll vehicles that are not turningCorrect
  4. DNobody, because turning traffic has priority

Why: A key New Zealand rule: if you are turning, give way to all vehicles that are going straight through (not turning). (Official New Zealand Road Code, give-way rules)

Safe Driving & Sharing the Road

When passing a cyclist, you should:

  1. ASound your horn and squeeze past
  2. BPass as close as you can
  3. CExpect the cyclist to ride off the road
  4. DGive them plenty of room, at least 1.5 metres where practical, and pass only when safeCorrect

Why: Cyclists are vulnerable; leave a wide gap, ideally at least 1.5 metres, and pass only when it is clear and safe. (Official New Zealand Road Code, sharing the road)
