Stopping Distances and Speed Limits Theory Tests

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) of the United Kingdom (UK) has been providing learner drivers with theory tests using its official test questions. In addition, there are three mock theory tests to be conducted as an essential part of the entire tests which include:

(1.)   speed limits

(2.)   stopping distances

(3.)   road signs

The online mock driving theory test in the UK has the following sample questions including their answer choices which are usually four in number. If you have not taken seriously your driving lessons in your driving school, you’ll only have a slim chance of passing.

 

(1.)  When driving a car at 30 mph, what’s the braking distance?

(a.)  25 metres
(b.) 30 metres

(d.) 19 metres

(2.) When travelling at 60 mph in good dry conditions, how long will it take you to stop?

(a.) 70 metres
(b.) 73 metres
(c.) 60 metres
(d.) 65 metres

(a.) 68 metres
(b.) 70 metres
(c.) 53 metres

(a.) 102 metres
(b.) 109 metres
(c.) 87 metres
(d.) 96 metres

(7.) In a built up area, what’s the speed limit?

(a.) 50 mph
(b.) 60 mph
(c.) 30 mph
(d.) 40 mph

(8.) On an unrestricted single carriageway, what’s the speed limit?

(a.) 60 mph
(b.) 70 mph
(c.) 40 mph
(d.) 50 mph

(9.) In good dry conditions, how long will it take you to stop at 20 mph?

(a.) 18 metres
(b.) 21 metres
(c.) 10 metres
(d.) 12 metres

(10.) In good dry conditions, how long will it take you to stop at 30 mph?

(a.) 32 metres
(b.) 37 metres
(c.) 18 metres
(d.) 23 metres

(11.) On an unrestricted dual carriageway, what’s the speed limit?

(a.) 70 mph
(b.) 80 mph
(c.) 50 mph
(d.) 60 mph

(12.) When towing a trailer or caravan, what’s the speed limit in a built up area?

(a.) 40 mph
(b.) 50 mph
(c.) 20 mph
(d.) 30 mph

(13.) Whilst towing a trailer or caravan on a motorway,  what’s the speed limit?

(a.) 60 mph
(b.) 70 mph
(c.) 40 mph
(d.) 50 mph

(14.) In good dry conditions, how long will it take you to stop at 40 mph?

(a.) 36 metres
(b.) 41 metres
(c.) 28 metres
(d.) 32 metres

(15.) How will ice or snow affect the stopping distance?

(a.) Make it five times greater
(b.) Make it 10 times greater
(c.) Double it

(16.) Thinking distance makes up the stopping distances plus braking distance. So, what is your thinking distance for every 10 mph of speed?

(a.) four metres
(b.) five metres
(c.) two metres
(d.) three metres

(17.) Thinking and braking distance makes up the overall stopping distance. You’re on a road surface which is good and dry with good tyres and brakes. At 50 mph, what’s the typical braking distance?

(a.) 38 metres (125 feet)
(b.) 55 metres (180 feet)
(c.) 14 metres (46 feet)

(a.) at Night
(b) in strong winds
(c.) in the rain
(d.) in fog

(19.) The scooter or wheelchair, used by disabled person has a maximum speed of

(a.) 16 mph
