Band 1: Road Procedure

What It Covers
This band is all about the rules of the road—everything from lane discipline to right-of-way rules. It also covers the correct procedures at various types of intersections and how to handle different driving conditions.

Why It Matters
Road procedure is the foundation of safe driving. As an instructor, you’ll need to teach these rules clearly and confidently.

Study Tips
Familiarize yourself with the Highway Code. Pay special attention to scenarios like roundabouts, merging, and pedestrian crossings. Practice with mock questions that focus on real-world driving situations.

Explanation

If you want to turn left and there's a cyclist in front of you, hold back. Wait until the cyclist has passed the junction and then turn left behind them.

1 / 20

You want to turn into the next side road on the left. What should you do if you’re following a cyclist as you approach the junction?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

If you're following a cyclist who's signalling to turn right at a roundabout, leave plenty of room. Give them space and time to get into the correct lane.

2 / 20

You’re driving up to a roundabout. What should you do if a cyclist, positioned to the left, is signalling to turn right?

Explanation

There are marker posts at 100 metre intervals along the hard shoulder of a motorway. The markers direct you to the nearest emergency telephone, so follow them if you've broken down.

3 / 20

Your vehicle has broken down on a motorway. How would you know where to find the nearest emergency telephone?

Explanation

When preparing to turn left into a side road, you should be prepared for obstructions or vehicles that may wish to stop and park. This could be before or after the turning.

4 / 20

What should you do before turning left from a busy major road into a minor road?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

When turning right from a side road across a dual carriageway, make sure that the central reservation is wide enough to contain your vehicle. If it isn't, you'll have to treat the dual carriageway as one road and only emerge when it's clear in both directions. Drivers of longer vehicles and vehicles towing trailers or caravans will need to assess this carefully. If any part of an emerging vehicle obstructs the right-hand lane of the dual carriageway, it could have serious consequences.

You’re turning right across a dual carriageway from a side road. What should you do if the gap in the central reservation isn’t wide enough to contain your vehicle?

Explanation

If there are no speed-limit signs, street lights usually indicate a 30 mph speed limit.

6 / 20

What’s usually the speed limit on a road that has street lights?

Explanation

When you're overtaking on a motorway, you'll sometimes find faster vehicles approaching from behind. When it's safe to do so, you should move over and let them pass. Don't try to enforce the legal speed limit.

7 / 20

You’re driving at 70 mph on a two-lane motorway. You’re overtaking vehicles on your left. What should you do if a vehicle approaches fast from behind?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Motorcyclists, drivers of high-sided vehicles and those towing caravans are likely to have difficulty in windy weather. You should keep well back, as the motorcyclist could be blown off course - especially as they emerge from the shelter of the large vehicle.

8 / 20

It’s very windy. What should you do if you’re behind a motorcyclist who’s overtaking a high-sided vehicle?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Don't turn your vehicle around on a busy main road. It's safer to find a quiet side road where you can turn around and then rejoin the main road.

9 / 20

You’re parked in a busy high street. What’s the safest way to turn your vehicle around?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Emphasise that it's important to get into the habit of using all the mirrors before making any manoeuvre. It's particularly important to check the appropriate exterior mirror before overtaking.

10 / 20

A pupil asks about driving a right-hand-drive car in a European country where they drive on the right. What should your advice include?

Explanation

Seat belts should be worn at all times, unless you're carrying out a manoeuvre that involves reversing. The seat belt should be put back on when you've finished the manoeuvre.

11 / 20

When may you drive without wearing your seat belt?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

When your vehicle is too big to fit into the central reservation, you should treat a dual carriageway as one road and wait until the road is clear in both directions before emerging to turn right. If you try to treat it as two separate roads and wait in the middle, your vehicle will overhang the central reservation and could cause a collision.

12 / 20

You want to turn right onto a dual carriageway. What should you do if the central reservation is too small for your vehicle?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Hatch markings are painted at potentially dangerous areas to separate streams of traffic. For example, they can be seen at sharp bends and at junctions to protect traffic turning right.

13 / 20

Why are hatch markings painted in the centre of the road?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

After leaving a motorway or when using a link road between motorways, your speed may be higher than you realise: 50 mph may feel like 30 mph. Check the speedometer and adjust your speed accordingly. Some slip roads and link roads have sharp bends, so you'll need to slow down.

14 / 20

What should you check when you’re leaving a motorway after driving at speed for some time?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

In heavy rain, the road will be wet and there may be pooling surface water. This will reduce the grip the tyres have on the road and will at least double the distance it takes to stop. Take this increased stopping distance into account while driving. Double the separation distance you'd leave in dry conditions.

15 / 20

You’re driving in very heavy rain. How will your overall stopping distance be affected?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

If you suspect a casualty has back injuries, talk to them and keep them calm. Don't attempt to move them, as this could cause further injury. Call an ambulance at the first opportunity.

16 / 20

At an incident, you suspect a casualty has back injuries. What should you do when the area is safe?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

At the scene of a crash, don't move a casualty from their vehicle unless they're in danger; for example, from fire.

17 / 20

You’re at an incident. What should you do for any injured people, once the area is safe?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

In a one-way street, all the traffic will be travelling in the same direction. When going ahead, you should choose the most appropriate lane for your destination and move into it in good time. Remember that traffic may be passing you on either side.

18 / 20

You’re in a one-way street and intend to go ahead. Unless road markings indicate otherwise, which lane should you use?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

People who appear uninjured may be in shock and need professional treatment. Avoid unnecessary movement, reassure them, and keep them comfortable and warm. Don't leave them on their own and don't give them anything to eat or drink. Make sure the emergency services are called if necessary.

19 / 20

During a driving lesson, your vehicle is involved in a collision. What should you do if your pupil is physically unhurt but is suffering from shock?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Give way to traffic already on the motorway. If you've matched the speed of traffic in the left-hand lane, you should be able to join where there's a suitable gap in the traffic. Try to avoid stopping at the end of the slip road - but you might have to do so if the motorway is very busy and there isn't a safe gap in the traffi

How should you adjust your speed when you’re joining a busy motorway from a slip road?
