Tips On How To Pass Your Driving Test… Common Road Rules.

• STOP sign and Red traffic light – Entire Car must stop behind the solid white line WITHIN 1mtr. STOP means STOP even if there are no cars
• When approaching a green light be prepared to stop if the light turns amber. If you can safely stop behind the line, within 1mtr,
• you must also make sure, before your decision to stop, that there is not a car close behind thereby avoiding a rear end crash.
• Green light means go but this may not always be safe. You should scan ALL intersections including railway lines
• before entering being alert for danger, including cyclists and pedestrians.
• ROUNDABOUTS - Give way to all traffic on the roundabout particularly right hand side and fast approaching cars.
• When entering dual lane roundabouts make sure you stay in the same lane.
• When exiting a roundabout you must put your left hand indicator on.
• Treat every road as a 50km zone unless you see a speed sign. Don’t be in a hurry to fail.
• Any road works treat as 40km even if you don’t see a sign (you may have missed seeing it) particularly if there are workers and machinery in the area.
• School zones and road works - 40km means 40km. 42km or 5% or more over ANY speed limit is a termination of test (Fail).
• Any change of speed zone DOWN must be done before the sign. Any speed zone change UP must be done after the sign.
• Pedestrian crossings and pedestrians at traffic lights. - You must wait until pedestrians have completely left your road
• not just your lane before proceeding. Once they have reached an island or barrier you can proceed on.
• When turning right at a traffic light only one car is permitted to enter. Stay behind the solid white line
• until the car in front has exited. Give way to pedestrians in the middle of the island, not at the lines they are walking behind.
• If you are in a traffic light intersection and the light turns amber. You must clear the area… but ONLY when safe, if the lights turn to amber and even red.
