Question 1

A signal tells others your intention in advance. Checking mirrors and signalling before the manoeuvre lets other drivers react.

Question 11
After a close call caused by another driver, a driver cuts in front of them and brakes suddenly to punish them. Which is true about this behaviour?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B) It is aggressive and dangerous and can cause a rear-end crash
Trying to take revenge in traffic is aggressive driving. Sudden braking causes rear-end crashes.

Correct answer: C) Slow down and, if safe, move to the left lane to give them more space
People at the roadside are very vulnerable. Slowing down and changing lanes if possible gives them more room and protects them.

A quick way to answer etiquette questions
Traffic etiquette questions are about respect, patience, empathy, anger control and the rights of pedestrians and other drivers. The option that protects others, calms the situation and follows the rules is usually the right one. Options such as sounding the horn, flashing your lights or arguing "to defend your rights" are almost always wrong.
