Other Road Users Practice Questions
About This Topic
The vocational version of the vulnerable road users topic: how a lorry, bus or coach must behave around pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, horse riders and cars. Because a large vehicle's blind spots and tail swing create risks a car never poses, the questions concentrate on space, patience and positioning.
What the DVSA tests here
- Leaving room for cyclists at junctions and when pulling away
- Tail swing and cut-in when turning a long vehicle
- Passing horses, pedestrians and slow traffic with proper clearance
Practising this topic
You can work through 83 questions covering other road users, with an explanation after every answer to reinforce the rule being tested. The LGV and PCV multiple-choice exam runs to 100 questions with a pass mark of 85, drawing on every module in the vocational syllabus. Once your score settles above the pass threshold, move on to a timed mock test to check the topic holds up under exam pressure.
In the run-up to test day
Professional drivers usually revise around shifts, which makes short, focused sessions the practical choice: a module like this one can be reviewed in fifteen minutes at the start or end of a working day. Treat exact figures — weights, hours, pressures and speed limits — as facts to memorise rather than rules of thumb, because the exam tests them precisely. Once the module feels secure, fold it into 100-question mock papers so your accuracy holds across the full hour and fifty-five minutes of the real test.
