Questions & Answers
How does the inspector choose which question to ask?
The inspector bases the question number on the last two digits of the odometer. For example, if the last two digits are 95, they will ask question number 95.
What types of questions are asked during the driving test?
You will be asked three questions: one about interior or exterior checks, one about road safety, and one about first aid.
When can rear fog lights be used?
Rear fog lights should not be used in heavy rain because their strong power could dazzle other drivers behind you.
What is the risk of using high beams when meeting other cars?
Using high beams when meeting other vehicles can dazzle them because high beams are powerful and illuminate far ahead. You must switch to low beams.
What does a red warning light mean?
A red warning light indicates a malfunction or a danger. You should stop the vehicle immediately.
What can cause a battery to discharge when the engine is off?
If the engine is off, leaving an electrical device like the radio or headlights on will eventually drain the battery.
