Other Types Of Vehicle Practice Questions
About This Topic
These questions cover sharing the road with vehicles that behave differently from your own: lorries that swing out at corners, buses pulling away from stops, trams, caravans and slow-moving agricultural vehicles. Knowing their blind spots and turning circles tells you where not to be.
What the DVSA tests here
- Why long vehicles straddle lanes at roundabouts and junctions
- Overtaking high-sided vehicles safely in wind and spray
- Giving way to buses and staying clear of tram tracks
Practising this topic
This section holds 22 practice questions on other types of vehicle, each followed by a clear explanation of the right answer. In the real car theory test the DVSA mixes all fourteen topics into one 50-question paper with a pass mark of 43, so no single subject can be skipped. Revisit your wrong answers a day or two later — spaced repetition works far better than answering the same questions back to back.
In the run-up to test day
Most learners find that little and often beats long cramming sessions: two or three short rounds of questions a day keep the rules fresh without wearing you out. Pair this topic with the matching chapters of the Highway Code, and use hazard perception clips to watch the same ideas play out on real roads. In the final week before your booking, switch from topic practice to full mock tests so you get used to the 57-minute time limit and to questions arriving in no particular order.
