Band 1 Road Procedure Practice Questions
About This Topic
Band 1 tests road procedure at instructor depth: the rules a learner must be taught about junctions, overtaking, pedestrian crossings, motorways and adverse conditions, plus the reasoning behind them. Answers are expected to reflect the official publications precisely, not just working knowledge.
What the DVSA tests here
- Correct procedures at junctions, roundabouts and crossings, to teaching standard
- Overtaking, following distances and making progress in varied conditions
- Motorway and dual carriageway rules a new driver must master
Practising this topic
There are 316 questions on band 1 road procedure in this practice bank, and every answer comes with an explanation so you can learn from your mistakes as you go. In ADI Part 1 you must score at least 20 out of 25 in this band as well as 85 overall, so band-by-band consistency is essential. A good rule of thumb is to keep practising a topic until you clear it comfortably several times in a row.
In the run-up to test day
ADI Part 1 is the most demanding written exam the DVSA sets, and band-level scoring means strengths elsewhere cannot cover a weakness here. Study the source publications directly — the Highway Code, Driving: The Essential Skills and the National Standards — rather than relying on question banks alone, because the wording of correct answers follows them closely. In the final stage of preparation, sit complete 100-question papers and check each band separately: 85 overall is not enough unless every band reaches 20.
