Highway Code - Small Test

[Bubbs]

So I got a speeding conviction and chose to do the dreaded 4 hour course... it was mostly boring, but did teach me 3-4 things that I didn't know.

So I want to see if I am alone in this gap in knowledge, or are there others? (Could save you 3 Points)


Q1. The image below shows a picture of a road and a National Speed Limit sign. Your driving the car that the picture was taken from... What is the maximum speed for:
(This was the road I got caught on twice in 1 week)

a) A car/motorcycle 60mph
b) A lorry 40MPH

Q2. In the image below you will see another National Speed Limit Road... What is the maximum speed? 70MPH

Q3. Again below is another National Speed Limit road.. How fast is the lorry allowed do drive? 40MPH

Q4. The image below shows a car stopping at 30mph, 35mph, and 40mph.

Can you tell me the speed at point B at 35mph and the speed at point B for 40mph?
First one is: 18MPH second one is 26MPH

Let's have a see here...

Q1: Car/motorcycle 60mph, lorry 40mph

Q2: Car/motorcycle 70, lorry 50(?)

Q3: Lorry can travel 40mph

Q4: 35mph - 25mph - 0 mph
40 mph - 35mph - 0mph

edit: Had a check, can't do the last one, but I think the rest are right? https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits

Assuming the lorry is >7.5ton.

Also this 'Your driving the car that the picture was taken from...' could be some sort of daft trick. I.e. in picture 1 you could be in a 40 zone that turns into a 60, so you shouldn't be going that fast until passing the sign, but then it'd be a hard guess...

Q1) Unrestricted highway. a) 60mph b) 40mph.

Q2) Unrestricted highway 60mph

Q3) Unrestricted Highway. 40mph

Q4) No, because there is no context to your question. What does point B represent?

I always thought single lane national speed limit is 60
double lane national speed limit (Dual carriageway) 70

I don't drive a truck, so my answer is 60 mph.

Did you check the "correct" answers against both the Highway Code and the underlying statues and regulations?

Should I ever have the pleasure of doing a Kitten Kourse, I shall take great pleasure in having all the relevant laws to hand (or to phablet).

Where is your god now?

What limit? Who has priority in the middle lane?

It's a real road

I mentioned the central reservation on my course too, and I was the only one that got it right on that particular example.

No-one else had even heard of it
