You are driving on the A7 towards Kornwerderzand and see the sign for your exit approaching. About how many metres before the exit lane do you indicate (in metres)?
Show the answer
Correct answer: 300 m
Correct: 300.0 m (±25.0).
Brake lights give a different signal: that you are about to slow down. Tap the brake pedal lightly before you actually brake — that warns following traffic slightly earlier
Correct answer: 300 m
Correct: 300.0 m (±25.0).
Correct answer: About 200 metres before the junction
Why learners get this wrong: You always indicate about 30 metres, or roughly 3 seconds, before the turn — that is THE rule of thumb.
Correct answer: False
Why learners get this wrong: You always indicate about 30 metres, or roughly 3 seconds, before the turn — that is THE rule of thumb.
Correct answer: About 100 metres before the junction
False — That gives other road users no time to react; the rule of thumb is about 100 metres in advance, not at the last moment
Why learners get this wrong: Once you know the right distance for indicating, that one distance applies on every road — motorway, provincial road or village street, it makes no difference.
Correct answer: You are somewhere you are poorly visible and your vehicle forms an obstacle; You are stopped with a breakdown somewhere you may not stop or that is dangerous; You run into a traffic jam; You are stopped in the dark while your required lighting has failed
False — Briefly stopping to drop someone off in a car park is not in the book's trigger list for hazard lights
Why learners get this wrong: You use your hazard lights when you stop briefly at a parking place to drop someone off.
