The Official Highway Code (U.K.) Quiz

Answer: On a pedestrian crossing

Rule 191.
It is illegal to park on a pedestrian crossing or on the zig-zag lines. By parking on the crossing you are obstructing pedestrians who may want to cross the road. Parking on the zig-zag lines obscures the vision for the pedestrians and other road users.

If you are in a traffic queue always keep the crossing clear.

Answer: Double white lines

Rule 165.
Double white lines are a warning to the car driver that the road is hazardous. Other places that you should never overtake are a corner or a bend, the top of a hill, a humpback bridge and never overtake on a pedestrian crossing.

Answer: When you cannot see for more than 100 metres

Rule 226.
You must use your headlights when the weather is poor or when visibility is down to 100 metres (328 feet). This could be applied when it's raining hard or in fog.
You can use front and rear fog lights if the visibility is really poor. Make sure you turn them off once the visibility improves.

Answer: True

Rule 123.
Common sense really. It has been known for vehicles to move off on their own or children playing with the controls and moving off. You are not in control of your car if it's unattended with the engine running. Turn it of and apply the handbrake and remove the key.

Answer: True

Rule 132.
Four different colour studs are used. White is used to mark the lanes or the middle of the road. The central reservation of a dual carriageway or motorway is amber. The edge of the main carriageway at lay-bys and slip roads are green studs. Temporary layouts, e.g. if a road is being resurfaced or road works the colour can be green or yellow.

Answer: Give priority to traffic approaching from your right

Rule 185.
Always give priority to traffic from your right, unless road signs tell you different. Some roundabouts give you the right of way, however you should still check for the traffic on the right to make sure it's safe to proceed.
