Roadcraft Quiz - click here.

FWIW I got a disappointing 50%. Due in part to schoolboy error of not reading the question / answers properly.

Apology if site/quiz is old story/news.

I got 23, but having done my IAM green badge in the last 12 months and read Roadcraft cover to cover, I'd say some of those questions were pretty badly worded!

The ones you get asked after your advanced test are asked in much plainer English!

58%, road nerds sure do love their trams.

It's a memory exercise; many of the questions have several right answers, but only one of them is Holy Writ.

Surprised by some of the correct answers... they seem to contradict themselves.




Example =

20) Safe driving depends on forming an accurate picture of the situation. Which one of the following mental activities does Roadcraft list as important?
Your Answer: Maintaining a high level of concentration to keep alert.
The correct answer was: Decision making comparing the current situation with previous experiences.


22) Roadcraft tells us that in high speed driving a driver may fail to perceive information accurately. Which one of the following is a common error of perception?
Your Answer: Habit and expectancy.
You Were Correct!




Basically it says habit and expectancy are bad. Then in a previous question it says that it is important to use previous experience.

I'd have thought previous experience would result in habit, expectancy and complacency.
I know when I was training there was (and in recurrent training, still is) a massive emphasis on preventing complacency by not having expectations based on previous experience.

The questions are poorly worded, with some having multiple "correct" answers but they only want the answer that appears in their book - so if you have never read their book, or like me, haven't read it in years, you're going to struggle.

Edit: Bollocks, would have got 17, but I didn't notice the "pm" and "am" transposed in the answer - I knew it was 11.30pm to 7am.

5) It is an offence to sound the horn in a built-up area except when another vehicle poses a danger between:
Your Answer: 11.30 am and 7.00 pm.
The correct answer was: 11.30 pm and 7.00 am.

Well I got 14, but I'd say the correct answers to some of the 'Roadsafe Says' questions are debatable.

Eg.
15) Roadcraft says that for a vehicle without active safety features, when a skid develops the driver's/rider's first action should be to:

Your Answer: Recognise the type of skid.
The correct answer was: Remove the cause.

Right, so I run into oil, what then? Whip out a bucket of detergent and a mop and frantically mop away at the road surface?
