Question 1General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

Which document is the primary proof that a person has the right to drive a vehicle of the corresponding category in Belarus?

  1. A compulsory insurance policy
  2. A driver's licence of the appropriate category Correct answer.
  3. An employment record book
  4. A vehicle registration certificate

Explanation

The right to drive is confirmed by a driver's licence of the corresponding category, which the driver must carry and hand over to a police officer on request. The registration certificate confirms the vehicle, not the person's driving right.

A driver is stopped by a GAI officer. What must the driver do first when asked for documents?

  1. Call the insurance company before speaking
  2. Step out of the car and open the boot without asking
  3. Drive to the nearest police station immediately
  4. Hand over the licence and vehicle documents on request Correct answer.

Explanation

At the officer's request the driver must present the driver's licence, registration certificate and insurance proof. The driver is not obliged to leave the vehicle or open the boot unless a lawful procedure requires it.

Question 3General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

From what age may a person in Belarus obtain the right to drive a moped or motorcycle of category A1?

  1. 16 years Correct answer.
  2. 18 years
  3. 17 years
  4. 14 years

Category A1 (light motorcycles and mopeds) may be obtained from 16 years of age. Full category A is available later, and passenger-car categories require the age of majority.

Question 4General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver moves to a new place of residence. Within what period must the driver's licence data be updated?

  1. No update is ever required
  2. Within 1 year of the change
  3. Within 3 months of the change
  4. Within 10 days of the change Correct answer.

When the registered place of residence changes, the driver must arrange for the licence details to be amended within a short statutory period, generally ten days. Driving with outdated registration data can lead to administrative liability.

Question 5General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

Which of the following is a general duty of every driver before starting to drive?

  1. Warming the engine for at least ten minutes
  2. Honking to warn neighbours
  3. Lowering all windows for ventilation
  4. Checking the technical condition and completeness of the vehicle Correct answer.

Explanation

Before driving, the driver must make sure the vehicle is technically sound and complete, with working brakes, steering, lights and other essential systems. Only then may the vehicle be taken onto the road.

Question 6General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

The driver of a vehicle involved in a road accident in which people were injured must first:

  1. Move the injured person and drive away
  2. Continue to the destination and report later
  3. Stop, render assistance to the injured and call for medical help Correct answer.
  4. Photograph the scene and leave without notifying anyone

Explanation

The driver must stop immediately, provide first aid to the injured and call an ambulance and the police. Fleeing the scene or failing to help is a serious offence.

Question 7General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

What does a driver's licence category B entitle a person to drive?

  1. Buses with more than sixteen seats
  2. Any lorry regardless of mass
  3. Cars with a permissible maximum mass not exceeding 3500 kg and up to eight seats besides the driver Correct answer.
  4. Only motorcycles with a sidecar

Explanation

Category B covers passenger cars with a maximum permissible mass of up to 3500 kg and no more than eight passenger seats in addition to the driver's seat. Heavier vehicles and buses require other categories.

Question 8General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver is obliged to give way to a pedestrian who has stepped onto a marked crossing. What other duty does the driver have in this situation?

  1. Flash the headlights to make the pedestrian run
  2. Reduce speed and be ready to stop completely Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn continuously until the pedestrian clears the road
  4. Pass the pedestrian on the left without slowing

Explanation

When a pedestrian is on a crossing, the driver must slow down and be prepared to stop so as to let the person cross safely. Intimidating the pedestrian with the horn or headlights is not permitted.

Question 9General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

Which of these documents must a driver normally carry and present at a GAI officer's request?

  1. A medical certificate and a passport
  2. Only the driver's licence
  3. Only the vehicle purchase contract
  4. Driver's licence, registration certificate and insurance proof Correct answer.

Explanation

The standard set is the driver's licence, the vehicle registration certificate and proof of compulsory civil liability insurance. These are presented when an officer asks for them.

Question 10General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver has consumed alcohol but believes they are still fit to drive. What does the law require?

  1. The driver must not drive at all Correct answer.
  2. The driver may drive after drinking coffee
  3. The driver may drive only during daylight
  4. The driver may drive slowly on quiet streets

Explanation

Driving while under the influence of alcohol is prohibited regardless of how the driver feels. Even a small amount of alcohol impairs reaction and is punishable by law.

Question 11General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

When may a driver hand over control of the vehicle to another person?

  1. If the person is over eighteen years old
  2. If the journey is short and on quiet roads
  3. If the person has driven before without a licence
  4. Only if that person holds a licence of the corresponding category Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver may transfer control only to a person who has a valid licence of the required category. Handing the wheel to an unlicensed person makes both parties liable.

Question 12General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver is required to fasten the seat belt while driving. What does the rule say about passengers' belts?

  1. Passengers decide for themselves without any driver involvement
  2. The driver must ensure that passengers also use their seat belts Correct answer.
  3. Only the driver is obliged to wear a belt
  4. Belts are required only outside built-up areas

Explanation

The driver is responsible for ensuring that all occupants use seat belts where the vehicle is so equipped. Carrying an unbelted passenger can result in liability for the driver.

Question 13General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

What is the purpose of the compulsory civil liability insurance of vehicle owners?

  1. To compensate third parties for harm caused by the vehicle Correct answer.
  2. To replace the driver's licence fee
  3. To cover scheduled maintenance costs
  4. To pay for the driver's own fuel

Explanation

Compulsory civil liability insurance protects third parties who suffer injury or property damage caused by the vehicle. It does not cover the driver's own running costs.

Question 14General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver is asked by a GAI officer to undergo a medical examination for intoxication. What must the driver do?

  1. Refuse and drive away
  2. Comply with the lawful request of the officer Correct answer.
  3. Insist on calling a lawyer before leaving the car
  4. Offer a bribe to avoid the test

Explanation

A driver must comply with a lawful request to undergo examination for alcohol or drugs. Refusal is itself treated as an offence equivalent to driving while intoxicated.

Question 15General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver's licence has been temporarily withdrawn by a court. What is the driver's position regarding driving?

  1. Driving is prohibited during the whole withdrawal period Correct answer.
  2. Driving is allowed if the destination is close
  3. Driving is allowed if a copy of the licence is kept
  4. Driving is allowed on weekends

Explanation

When a court withdraws the right to drive, the person may not drive any vehicle for the entire period of the sanction. Driving during that period is a separate violation with heavier consequences.

Question 16General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

Which of these situations requires the driver to give way to a route vehicle leaving a marked stop?

  1. A trolleybus pulling out from a designated stop in a built-up area Correct answer.
  2. A taxi starting from the kerb outside a stop
  3. A car reversing out of a driveway
  4. A lorry leaving a private car park

Explanation

In built-up areas drivers must give way to trolleybuses and buses starting from a designated stop. Vehicles leaving car parks, driveways or ordinary kerbside positions do not enjoy this priority.

Question 17General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

What must a driver do when an emergency vehicle with a blue beacon and siren is approaching?

  1. Give way and, if necessary, stop to let it pass Correct answer.
  2. Brake sharply in the middle of the lane
  3. Continue at the same speed in the same lane
  4. Speed up to stay ahead of it

Explanation

Drivers must clear the way for an emergency vehicle using a blue beacon together with a special sound signal, pulling over or stopping if needed. Blocking or racing such a vehicle is prohibited.

Question 18General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver intends to change lanes. Which duty applies before the manoeuvre?

  1. Sound the horn and change lane at once
  2. Switch on the hazard lights and proceed
  3. Check mirrors and blind spots and give a turn signal Correct answer.
  4. Rely only on the rear-view mirror

Explanation

Before changing lanes the driver must make sure the manoeuvre is safe by checking mirrors and blind spots and must signal the intention in good time. Other road users must not be forced to change speed or direction.

Question 19General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

What is the maximum permitted alcohol concentration in a driver's blood under Belarusian traffic law?

  1. Zero; any presence of alcohol is prohibited Correct answer.
  2. 0.5 promille
  3. 0.8 promille
  4. 1.0 promille

Explanation

Belarus applies a zero-tolerance approach, so any alcohol in the driver's body is prohibited. Even small amounts establish the offence of driving while intoxicated.

Question 20General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver is involved in an accident with only minor property damage and no injuries. What is the correct course of action?

  1. Stop, exchange details and report to the police as required Correct answer.
  2. Leave the scene immediately to avoid traffic
  3. Wait for the police without stopping the engine
  4. Drive away if the other driver agrees verbally

Explanation

Even in a minor accident the driver must stop, record the circumstances and exchange details, and notify the police where the law requires it. Leaving the scene without fulfilling these duties is an offence.

Question 21General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

Which of these persons is entitled to use the driver's licence as proof of identity in everyday situations?

  1. Any family member of the holder
  2. A traffic officer on behalf of the holder
  3. The holder of the licence Correct answer.
  4. A colleague authorised by the holder

Explanation

A driver's licence is a personal document belonging to its holder and may be used as identification only by that person. It cannot be lent or used by others.

Question 22General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

A driver is temporarily unfit to drive because of illness. What does the law require?

  1. The driver may drive if the journey is essential
  2. The driver must refrain from driving Correct answer.
  3. The driver may drive after taking any medicine
  4. The driver may drive if accompanied by a passenger

Explanation

A driver who is ill or otherwise unable to control the vehicle safely must not drive. Continuing to drive while unfit endangers others and can lead to liability.

Question 23General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

Which obligation applies to a driver who causes harm to another person's property in a traffic situation?

  1. To stop and provide the information needed to settle the damage Correct answer.
  2. To pay in cash on the spot without any record
  3. To leave quickly before the owner arrives
  4. To deny involvement until witnesses appear

Explanation

A driver who causes damage must stop and give the necessary details so that the harm can be compensated through insurance or otherwise. Fleeing or denying involvement aggravates liability.

Question 24General provisions, driver duties and documents (traffic law basics)

In which case is a driver allowed to use the horn in a built-up area?

  1. To hurry a slow vehicle ahead
  2. To greet an acquaintance
  3. To prevent an accident Correct answer.
  4. To signal the start of a journey

Explanation

In built-up areas the horn may be used only to prevent an accident or as required by safety. Using it for greetings, impatience or routine signalling is prohibited.

Question 25Road signs

Which group of road signs warns the driver about hazards ahead, such as sharp bends, steep gradients or pedestrian crossings?

  1. Warning signs Correct answer.
  2. Prohibition signs
  3. Information signs
  4. Priority signs

Explanation

Warning signs are triangular with a red border and are placed in advance of a hazard to give the driver time to slow down or change course. Their purpose is to announce a danger that is not obvious from the road itself, so the driver can prepare for it.

Question 26Road signs

What does a circular sign with a red border and the number 60 inside mean?

  1. The maximum permitted speed is 60 km/h Correct answer.
  2. A warning that a 60 km/h zone begins in 60 metres
  3. An advisory speed for the next 60 metres
  4. The minimum permitted speed is 60 km/h

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a prohibition sign, and a number inside it fixes the maximum speed allowed from the point where the sign stands until the restriction is cancelled or a new limit appears. It is not advisory and not a minimum.

Question 27Road signs

A sign shows a red triangle with a black symbol of a pedestrian on a crossing. How should the driver react?

  1. Stop immediately and wait until the sign is passed
  2. Maintain speed because pedestrians must yield to vehicles
  3. Slow down and be ready to stop for pedestrians on or near the crossing Correct answer.
  4. Sound the horn and continue without changing speed

Explanation

This warning sign announces a pedestrian crossing ahead, so the driver must reduce speed and be prepared to give way to people using or about to use the crossing. A full stop is required only when a pedestrian is actually there.

Question 28Road signs

What is indicated by a blue square sign showing a white letter P?

  1. A parking place is available Correct answer.
  2. No parking at any time
  3. A pedestrian zone begins
  4. A place where stopping is prohibited

Explanation

A blue square or rectangular sign is an information sign, and the white letter P marks a place where parking is permitted. Any restrictions on duration or method of parking are shown on supplementary plates beneath it.

Question 29Road signs

Which shape and colour identify a priority road sign in Belarus?

  1. A yellow diamond with a white border Correct answer.
  2. A blue circle with a white arrow
  3. A white rectangle with a black border
  4. A red triangle with a white field

Explanation

The priority road sign is a yellow diamond outlined in white, and it tells the driver that the road has priority at all junctions until the priority is cancelled by an end-of-priority sign. It is one of the few signs that is neither triangular nor circular.

Question 30Road signs

A driver approaches a sign with a red circle containing a white horizontal bar. What does it require?

  1. End of all restrictions
  2. No entry for all vehicles Correct answer.
  3. Give way to traffic from the right
  4. No stopping

Explanation

The red circle with a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign, meaning vehicles must not enter that road from this direction. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street or at a restricted access point.

Question 31Road signs

What does a circular blue sign with a white arrow pointing straight ahead oblige the driver to do?

  1. Proceed only straight ahead Correct answer.
  2. Overtake on the left
  3. Turn right at the next junction
  4. Stop before the sign

Explanation

Blue circular signs are mandatory signs, and an arrow inside one prescribes the direction the driver must take. A single arrow pointing straight ahead therefore requires continuing in that direction.

Question 32Road signs

A supplementary plate below a prohibition sign shows a symbol of a car. What does the plate do?

  1. It limits the sign above to the category shown Correct answer.
  2. It cancels the sign above it
  3. It shows the distance to the next town
  4. It repeats the sign for a second road

Explanation

Supplementary plates do not stand alone; they modify or specify the sign mounted above them. A plate showing a car therefore means the restriction applies only to cars, leaving other vehicle categories unaffected.

Question 33Road signs

A driver sees a red-bordered triangle containing a black exclamation mark. What is the correct interpretation?

  1. A general danger that is not described by another warning sign Correct answer.
  2. A prohibition on the use of the horn
  3. The end of a built-up area
  4. A compulsory stop ahead

Explanation

The exclamation mark in a warning triangle indicates a hazard for which no specific symbol exists, so the driver must slow down and be alert for an unspecified danger. The nature of the danger is often clarified by a supplementary plate.

Question 34Road signs

A driver passes a white rectangular sign with a black diagonal stripe running from upper left to lower right. What does it mean?

  1. A built-up area begins
  2. All local restrictions shown earlier are cancelled Correct answer.
  3. A railway crossing is ahead
  4. A motorway begins

Explanation

The white sign with black diagonal stripes cancels restrictions that were introduced by earlier signs, such as a speed limit or an overtaking ban. After passing it, the general rules for the road apply again.

Question 35Road signs

What is the meaning of a red-bordered circle showing a black car and a red car side by side?

  1. Cars must drive in two lanes
  2. Only cars may use the road
  3. Overtaking is prohibited except for two-wheeled vehicles without a sidecar Correct answer.
  4. Overtaking by all vehicles is prohibited

Explanation

This sign bans overtaking of motor vehicles other than two-wheeled motorcycles and mopeds without a sidecar. The exception allows a rider to pass a slow two-wheeler where it is safe, while cars may not overtake other cars.

Question 36Road signs

A driver approaches a sign showing a red circle with the number 3.5 t. Which vehicles does the prohibition apply to?

  1. Vehicles whose actual laden mass exceeds 3.5 tonnes
  2. All vehicles carrying more than 3.5 tonnes of cargo
  3. Vehicles whose maximum permitted mass exceeds 3.5 tonnes Correct answer.
  4. All vehicles longer than 3.5 metres

Explanation

Mass limits on prohibition signs refer to the maximum permitted mass of the vehicle as stated in its registration documents, not to what it happens to weigh at that moment. The limit therefore applies even if the vehicle is running empty.

Question 37Road signs

What does a warning sign showing a black steam locomotive indicate?

  1. A tram line crossing ahead
  2. A railway crossing without a barrier ahead Correct answer.
  3. An industrial zone with heavy machinery
  4. A railway crossing with a barrier ahead

Explanation

The locomotive symbol without a barrier fence warns of a level crossing that has no gates or barriers, so the driver must approach with particular care and be ready to stop. A crossing with barriers is shown by a fence symbol instead.

Question 38Road signs

A driver sees a blue square sign with a white arrow pointing to the right at a junction where the main road curves left. What does the sign tell the driver?

  1. The direction to a recommended route is to the right Correct answer.
  2. A right turn is prohibited
  3. The road ahead is one-way to the right
  4. Traffic must pass to the right of an obstacle

Explanation

Blue rectangular signs with white arrows give information about recommended routes or lane directions rather than imposing a prohibition. They guide the driver towards the indicated direction but do not by themselves forbid other legal movements.

Question 39Road signs

What does a red-bordered circle containing a black pedestrian symbol mean?

  1. Pedestrians are prohibited Correct answer.
  2. A pedestrian crossing is ahead
  3. Pedestrians must use the crossing
  4. A footpath begins

Explanation

A red border marks a prohibition, and the pedestrian symbol inside means that pedestrians may not proceed along that road or section. Warning of a crossing uses a triangular sign, and a footpath is shown by a blue mandatory sign.

Question 40Road signs

A driver sees a sign with a red border showing a black figure of a lorry in a red circle. What is the effect?

  1. Lorries must reduce speed to 40 km/h
  2. Lorries must use the left lane
  3. Goods vehicles are prohibited from proceeding Correct answer.
  4. A lorry park is available ahead

Explanation

A red-bordered circle with a lorry symbol is a prohibition sign that bars goods vehicles from continuing past that point. Any exception, such as local deliveries, would be indicated by a supplementary plate.

Question 41Road signs

What does a triangular warning sign depicting a car with wavy skid marks behind it indicate?

  1. A slippery road surface ahead Correct answer.
  2. Loose gravel on the carriageway
  3. A steep descent ahead
  4. A tunnel ahead

Explanation

The skidding car symbol warns that the road ahead may be slippery, for example because of rain, ice or spilled material. The driver should reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or steering inputs.

Question 42Road signs

A driver sees a sign with a red border showing a black bicycle. What does it prohibit?

  1. Cyclists from using the road Correct answer.
  2. Motor vehicles from passing cyclists
  3. Cyclists from crossing the road
  4. Parking of bicycles

Explanation

The red-bordered circle with a bicycle symbol forbids cyclists from proceeding beyond the sign. A blue circular sign with a bicycle, by contrast, designates a compulsory cycle path.

Question 43Road signs

A driver approaches a junction where a sign shows a thick vertical arrow with a thin line crossing it horizontally. How should the driver proceed?

  1. Both roads have equal priority
  2. Stop completely before entering
  3. Give way to traffic on the crossing road Correct answer.
  4. Traffic on the crossing road must give way

Explanation

The thick arrow represents the priority road, and the thin line represents the minor road, so the driver on the thick arrow has priority while traffic on the thin line must give way. The sign therefore confirms the driver's right of way rather than imposing a duty to yield.

Question 44Road signs

What does a sign showing a white arrow pointing down on a blue background, placed at a narrowing, require?

  1. The road is closed ahead
  2. Oncoming traffic must stop
  3. Give way to oncoming traffic
  4. You have priority over oncoming traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

The blue square with a white arrow pointing down indicates that the driver has priority through the narrow section, and oncoming traffic must wait. The opposite arrangement, a red-bordered circle with a black arrow pointing up, means the driver must give way.

Question 45Road signs

A driver sees a blue circular sign with a white bicycle. What does it mean?

  1. A compulsory cycle path begins Correct answer.
  2. Cyclists are prohibited
  3. A bicycle race route is ahead
  4. Cyclists must give way to pedestrians

Explanation

Blue circular signs impose a mandatory instruction, and with a bicycle symbol the sign designates a path that cyclists must use. It is the positive counterpart of the red-bordered bicycle prohibition.

Question 46Road signs

A driver approaches a sign showing a red triangle with a black symbol of a car falling into water at the edge of a quay. What hazard does it warn of?

  1. A tunnel subject to flooding
  2. A ford where the water depth is unknown
  3. A ferry crossing ahead
  4. An unfenced quay or embankment where a vehicle could enter the water Correct answer.

Explanation

This warning sign is placed near quays, riverbanks and similar edges where there is no barrier, warning that a vehicle could go over the edge into water. Drivers should keep well clear of the edge and reduce speed.

Question 47Road signs

A driver sees a sign with a red border showing a black arrow bending sharply to the left and crossing a red diagonal line. What does it prohibit?

  1. Turning left Correct answer.
  2. U-turns
  3. Turning right
  4. Going straight on

Explanation

The red diagonal bar cancels the movement shown by the arrow, so an arrow curving left with a bar across it forbids a left turn. A separate sign with a U-shaped arrow and a bar prohibits U-turns.

Question 48Road signs

A driver passes a sign showing a red circle with a black and red car pair, and the sign also carries a plate reading 08:00-20:00. How should the driver apply the rule at 21:00?

  1. The overtaking ban does not apply at that time Correct answer.
  2. The ban applies only to lorries at night
  3. The overtaking ban still applies fully
  4. The driver must stop until 08:00

Explanation

A time plate limits the validity of the sign above it to the hours shown, so outside that period the prohibition has no effect. At 21:00 the overtaking ban is therefore not in force and normal overtaking rules apply.

Question 49Road signs

A driver sees a triangular warning sign with a black symbol of a tram and, below it, a plate showing 150 m. How should the driver interpret this?

  1. A tram line crosses the road 150 m ahead and the driver should be prepared to give way Correct answer.
  2. A tram stop is 150 m ahead and trams have priority there
  3. Trams must stop 150 m before the junction
  4. The tramway ends in 150 m

Explanation

The warning triangle announces a tram crossing, and the distance plate states how far ahead it lies, allowing the driver to slow down in good time. At such crossings the driver must give way to trams, which cannot stop quickly.

Question 50Road signs

A driver approaches a circular sign with a red border containing the number 50 in black. What does this sign require?

  1. The minimum permitted speed is 50 km/h.
  2. The speed limit of 50 km/h ends here.
  3. The recommended speed is 50 km/h.
  4. The maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h. Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle with a black number is a prohibition sign that sets the maximum speed allowed from the sign onward. It applies to all motor vehicles unless a supplementary plate states otherwise. The limit remains in force until a different speed-limit sign or an end-of-limit sign appears.
