How the exam asks it

On the narrow bridge near Bennekom you are driving in the direction of the red arrow on sign F5. An oncoming driver is approaching from the other side. Who stops?

  1. The oncoming driver stops, you may proceed
  2. You stop, the oncoming driver may proceed
Show the answer

Correct answer: You stop, the oncoming driver may proceed

If you are driving toward the red arrow, you stop; the white-arrow side may proceed

Why learners get this wrong: At sign F5-F6, the red arrow means you may drive through and the white arrow means you must stop.

About Keeping right, road narrowing (F5/F6) and obstacles: which statement is WRONG?

  1. Keeping right means driving as close as possible to the kerb or the verge.
  2. If you are driving in the direction of the red arrow, you must stop; if you are driving in the direction of the white arrow, the oncoming drivers — not you — must stop.
  3. When there is not enough room, whoever has the obstacle on their own half of the road must stop; if the obstacle is on the oncoming driver's half of the road, that driver stops, not you.
  4. The same basic rules apply to obstacles as to a road narrowing without a sign: whoever has the obstacle on their own half of the road stops when there is not enough room.

Correct answer: Keeping right means driving as close as possible to the kerb or the verge.

You must keep right as much as possible, but do not drive too close to the kerb or the verge; if the road is too narrow for you and an oncoming driver, you both move aside

Why learners get this wrong: At sign F5-F6, the red arrow means you may drive through and the white arrow means you must stop.
