Question 1Road signs, signals and markings

On a Hong Kong road, a circular sign with a red border and a white centre showing a black number indicates what?

  1. A maximum speed limit in kilometres per hour Correct answer.
  2. The route number of the road you are on
  3. A minimum speed you must maintain
  4. The distance in metres to the next junction

Explanation

Circular signs with a red ring are prohibitions or restrictions, and a black number inside gives the maximum speed permitted in kilometres per hour. The limit applies from the sign until another limit sign or a derestriction sign appears.

Question 2Road signs, signals and markings

You approach a triangular sign with a red border showing a black cross symbol. What hazard does it warn of?

  1. A crossroads junction ahead Correct answer.
  2. A level crossing without barriers
  3. A church or place of worship ahead
  4. A hospital ahead

Explanation

Warning triangles with a red border alert drivers to hazards ahead, and a black cross symbol denotes a crossroads where traffic may join or cross your path. You should reduce speed and be ready to give way as appropriate.

Question 3Road signs, signals and markings

What does a double white line along the centre of the carriageway, with the line nearest you solid and the far line broken, mean?

  1. You may park on the line outside peak hours
  2. You must not cross or straddle the lines Correct answer.
  3. You may cross only to turn into a side road
  4. You may cross to overtake if the road ahead is clear

Explanation

Where the solid line of a double white line system is on your side, you must not cross or straddle the lines. The restriction applies to your direction of travel, so you must stay in lane until the marking changes.

Question 4Road signs, signals and markings

A steady red traffic light is showing at a junction. What must you do?

  1. Proceed if no traffic is coming from either side
  2. Sound your horn and continue slowly
  3. Stop only if a pedestrian is crossing
  4. Stop behind the stop line and wait Correct answer.

Explanation

A steady red light means you must stop and remain stationary behind the stop line, or before the signal if there is no line. You may only proceed when the signal changes to green, or when a green arrow permits movement in a specific direction.

Question 5Road signs, signals and markings

What is indicated by a rectangular blue sign showing a white bicycle symbol?

  1. A route recommended for use by cyclists Correct answer.
  2. Cyclists are prohibited beyond this point
  3. Cyclists must give way to motor traffic
  4. A cycle repair facility ahead

Explanation

Blue rectangular signs give positive information or instructions, and a white bicycle on blue marks a route intended or recommended for cyclists. It does not by itself give cyclists priority over other traffic.

Question 6Road signs, signals and markings

You see a broken white line down the centre of a two-way road. What does it permit?

  1. Crossing the line to overtake when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  2. Exceeding the speed limit while overtaking
  3. Driving on the right-hand side as a matter of course
  4. Parking on either side of the line at any time

Explanation

A broken white centre line separates opposing streams of traffic and may be crossed when overtaking or turning, provided it is safe and no other restriction applies. It does not authorise any breach of speed limits or parking rules.

Question 7Road signs, signals and markings

What does a flashing amber light at a pelican crossing mean for drivers?

  1. Reverse away from the crossing
  2. Proceed at normal speed without checking
  3. Give way to pedestrians on the crossing Correct answer.
  4. Stop and wait until the light turns green

Explanation

At a pelican crossing the flashing amber phase means drivers must give way to any pedestrian still on the crossing, but may proceed if the crossing is clear. It is not an instruction to stop unconditionally.

Question 8Road signs, signals and markings

A yellow box junction is marked on the road ahead. When may you enter it?

  1. Whenever the traffic light ahead is green
  2. At any time if you are turning left
  3. Only when your exit from the box is clear Correct answer.
  4. Only when following a bus or lorry

Explanation

You must not enter a yellow box junction unless you can clear it without stopping, because blocking the box obstructs cross traffic. The exception is when you intend to turn right and are prevented from doing so only by oncoming traffic.

Question 9Road signs, signals and markings

What does a red circle containing a white horizontal bar signify?

  1. End of a restricted zone
  2. No stopping at any time
  3. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  4. Give way to oncoming traffic

Explanation

The red circle with a white bar is the no entry sign, meaning vehicles must not proceed past it. It is commonly placed at the exit of one-way streets and at restricted access points.

Question 10Road signs, signals and markings

You are driving and see a sign showing a white arrow bending to the left inside a blue circle. What does it require?

  1. Turn left ahead is prohibited
  2. Keep left of the obstruction or traffic island Correct answer.
  3. Left lane closed ahead
  4. Give way to traffic from the left

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a white directional arrow is a mandatory instruction, and an arrow bending left directs traffic to pass to the left of an island or obstruction. You must follow the direction shown.

Question 11Road signs, signals and markings

What is the meaning of a single broken yellow line along the edge of the carriageway?

  1. A bus lane begins here
  2. Parking is free at all times
  3. Waiting is restricted at certain times as shown on nearby plates Correct answer.
  4. The road edge is unsafe to cross

Explanation

Yellow lines along the kerb control waiting and loading, and a single broken yellow line imposes a restriction that applies only during the times stated on accompanying plates. Outside those times the restriction does not apply.

Question 12Road signs, signals and markings

A driver approaches a junction where a red triangle pointing downwards contains the words GIVE WAY. What is required?

  1. Proceed first because the sign faces you
  2. Give way only to vehicles approaching from the right
  3. Stop completely before proceeding in every case
  4. Give way to traffic on the major road Correct answer.

Explanation

The inverted red triangle is the give way sign, requiring you to yield to traffic on the road you are joining or crossing. You need not stop if the road is clear, but you must be able to stop if necessary.

Question 13Road signs, signals and markings

What do white diagonal stripes bordered by a solid white line indicate when painted on the carriageway?

  1. An area where you may stop to take a break
  2. A pedestrian refuge where you must stop
  3. A hatched area you should not enter except in an emergency Correct answer.
  4. A lane reserved for overtaking

Explanation

Hatched areas bounded by a solid white line separate traffic streams or protect turning vehicles, and drivers should not enter them except in an emergency. The stripes are not a parking or resting area.

Question 14Road signs, signals and markings

A traffic light shows a green arrow pointing right while the main aspect is red. What may you do?

  1. Wait for the main light to turn green before moving
  2. Turn right only after sounding your horn
  3. Proceed straight ahead as well as right
  4. Proceed only in the direction of the arrow if it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

A green arrow is a filtered signal permitting movement only in the direction shown, provided the way is clear. Other movements remain controlled by the red main aspect.

Question 15Road signs, signals and markings

What does a sign showing a red circle with a black car and a red diagonal line through it mean?

  1. Motor vehicles prohibited Correct answer.
  2. No overtaking by cars
  3. Cars only permitted beyond this point
  4. Cars must use dipped headlights

Explanation

A red ring with a red diagonal slash is a prohibition sign, and the vehicle symbol shows which class of traffic is banned. Here all motor vehicles, represented by the car symbol, are prohibited from proceeding.

Question 16Road signs, signals and markings

You are on a road with a solid white line on your left marking the edge of the carriageway next to a hard shoulder. What is the usual rule?

  1. You may use the hard shoulder for overtaking
  2. The line marks a cycle lane you must enter
  3. You should not cross the line except in an emergency or when directed Correct answer.
  4. You must drive on the hard shoulder at night

Explanation

A solid white edge line marks the boundary of the running carriageway, and the area beyond it, such as a hard shoulder, is not a normal traffic lane. Crossing it is permitted only in an emergency, for a breakdown, or when signs or police direct you.

Question 17Road signs, signals and markings

What does a circular blue sign with a white number inside, for example 30, indicate?

  1. The distance to the next town
  2. The number of the route
  3. The minimum speed you should maintain Correct answer.
  4. The maximum speed permitted

Explanation

A blue circle is a mandatory sign, and when it shows a number it sets a minimum speed that vehicles should maintain where conditions allow. It is distinct from the red-ringed maximum speed sign.

Question 18Road signs, signals and markings

You see a warning sign showing a black symbol of a car skidding. What should you do?

  1. Brake firmly and immediately
  2. Change to a higher gear and accelerate
  3. Increase speed to maintain grip
  4. Reduce speed and avoid harsh braking or steering Correct answer.

Explanation

The slippery road warning sign alerts you to a risk of loss of grip, so you should slow down smoothly and avoid sudden braking or steering inputs. Gentle control reduces the chance of a skid.

Question 19Road signs, signals and markings

What is the purpose of a stop line painted across your lane at a junction?

  1. To indicate the start of an overtaking zone
  2. To mark a pedestrian refuge
  3. To show where parking begins
  4. To mark where you must stop when required by the signal or sign Correct answer.

Explanation

A stop line shows the point at which you must halt when a stop sign or red traffic signal requires it, keeping the junction clear. You should stop so that you can see the junction and do not encroach on it.

Question 20Road signs, signals and markings

A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a black pedestrian symbol crossed by a red line. What does it mean?

  1. Pedestrians must use the footpath
  2. Pedestrians have priority
  3. No pedestrians allowed beyond the sign Correct answer.
  4. Pedestrian crossing ahead

Explanation

A red-ringed prohibition sign with a pedestrian symbol and a diagonal slash bans pedestrians from the area beyond the sign, typically on routes such as expressways or tunnels where walking is unsafe.

Question 21Road signs, signals and markings

On a three-lane one-way carriageway, lane lines are broken white. What do these lines do?

  1. Show where waiting is prohibited
  2. Separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction Correct answer.
  3. Mark the boundary of opposing traffic flows
  4. Indicate a tram-only lane

Explanation

Broken white lines between lanes on a one-way road or dual carriageway separate traffic travelling in the same direction. Drivers may change lanes across them when it is safe and signalled.

Question 22Road signs, signals and markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, the signals fail and no police officer is present. How should you proceed?

  1. Follow the vehicle in front without checking
  2. Wait until the lights are repaired before moving
  3. Proceed immediately because the lights are not working
  4. Treat the junction as uncontrolled and give way as necessary with great care Correct answer.

Explanation

When signals are dark or failed, the junction reverts to an uncontrolled situation, so you must approach slowly and apply normal priority rules, giving way where required. Extra caution is needed because other drivers may be confused.

Question 23Road signs, signals and markings

A driver intends to turn right at a yellow box junction but oncoming traffic prevents the turn. What is the rule?

  1. The driver should reverse out of the box
  2. The driver may enter the box and stop for any reason
  3. The driver must never enter the box under any circumstances
  4. The driver may wait in the box because the right turn is blocked only by oncoming traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

The box junction rule prohibits entering unless the exit is clear, but an exception applies to a driver turning right who is prevented from completing the turn only by oncoming traffic. In that case waiting in the box is permitted.

Question 24Road signs, signals and markings

What distinguishes a clearway sign from a yellow line waiting restriction?

  1. A clearway prohibits stopping on the carriageway during its stated times, including for waiting Correct answer.
  2. A clearway only restricts parking on the footpath
  3. A clearway permits stopping to load goods at any time
  4. A clearway applies only to goods vehicles

Explanation

A clearway sign, typically a blue circle with a red cross or a rectangular plate, bans stopping on the main carriageway during the times shown, which is stricter than a yellow line waiting restriction. Waiting restrictions control where vehicles may wait at the kerb but generally still allow stopping to set down passengers.

Question 25Road signs, signals and markings

A driver approaches a junction where the give way line is a double broken white line across the lane. What does this marking require?

  1. Proceed without checking because the line grants priority
  2. Stop completely before the line in all cases
  3. Give way to traffic on the road being joined, stopping only if necessary Correct answer.
  4. Sound the horn before crossing the line

Explanation

Double broken white lines across a lane mark a give way point, requiring the driver to yield to traffic on the major road. Unlike a stop line, a complete stop is needed only when traffic makes it necessary.

Question 26Road signs, signals and markings

You are approaching a junction controlled by traffic lights and the amber light is showing. There is no traffic ahead and you could stop safely. What must you do?

  1. Reverse away from the junction to a safe position
  2. Sound your horn and accelerate through the junction
  3. Stop at the stop line unless it is unsafe to do so Correct answer.
  4. Continue at the same speed because amber means proceed

Explanation

A steady amber light is a signal to stop, and you must halt at the stop line unless you are so close to it that stopping suddenly could cause a collision. You may proceed only when the way is clear and it is unsafe to draw up. Amber is not a warning to hurry through.

Question 27Road signs, signals and markings

You see a circular sign with a red border containing the number 30 in black. What does it mean?

  1. The road is 30 miles from the next town
  2. The maximum speed permitted on this road is 30 mph Correct answer.
  3. The minimum speed permitted on this road is 30 mph
  4. A speed camera operates 30 metres ahead

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a prohibition sign, so a number inside it sets a maximum speed limit in miles per hour. The limit applies from the sign until another limit sign or the end of the restriction. Red circles never indicate minimum speeds or distances.

Question 28Road signs, signals and markings

You are driving at night and a traffic light ahead shows a flashing amber light, with no other aspects lit. What does this indicate at a pelican crossing?

  1. You must stop and wait for a green light before moving
  2. You must give way to traffic approaching from the right
  3. The crossing is out of order and must be avoided
  4. You may proceed only if the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.

Explanation

At a pelican crossing the flashing amber phase means drivers may go on provided the crossing is clear and no pedestrian is still on it. Pedestrians have priority if they are already crossing. You should not simply stop as at a red light, nor treat the crossing as closed.

Question 29Road signs, signals and markings

A rectangular blue sign shows a white bicycle symbol. What does this sign tell you?

  1. A route recommended for pedal cycles only Correct answer.
  2. A cycle repair facility is ahead
  3. Cyclists must dismount and use the footway
  4. Cycles are prohibited beyond this point

Explanation

Blue rectangular signs give information, and a white bicycle on blue marks a route recommended for use by pedal cycles. It is not a prohibition, which would be shown by a red circle. The sign does not require cyclists to dismount or indicate a workshop.

Question 30Road signs, signals and markings

You are on a dual carriageway and see a sign showing a red circle with a black car and a black motorcycle side by side. What restriction does this impose?

  1. No motor vehicles of any kind beyond this point
  2. No overtaking by goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes
  3. No entry for cars and motorcycles Correct answer.
  4. No vehicles carrying dangerous goods

Explanation

A red circle containing vehicle symbols prohibits those classes of vehicle from proceeding. Where a car and motorcycle are shown together, the restriction applies to cars and to motorcycles. Other vehicle classes are not affected by that particular sign.

Question 31Road signs, signals and markings

You are approaching a junction and see a triangular warning sign containing a black cross symbol. What hazard does it warn of?

  1. A church with a car park entrance
  2. A level crossing with barriers ahead
  3. A hospital with a helipad nearby
  4. A crossroads ahead where other traffic may emerge Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered triangle is a warning sign, and a cross symbol inside it warns of a crossroads ahead where traffic may cross or join your road. You should reduce speed and be prepared for vehicles emerging. Level crossings use a different symbol, such as a gate or a train.

Question 32Road signs, signals and markings

You are driving and see a sign showing a red circle with a white arrow pointing straight up and a black diagonal line through it. What does it mean?

  1. Ahead only is prohibited
  2. No entry for vehicular traffic
  3. No through road for vehicles Correct answer.
  4. One-way traffic begins ahead

Explanation

A red circle with a white arrow crossed by a diagonal line means no through road: the route ends and does not continue for vehicles. It is not a no-entry sign, which uses a red disc with a white bar. The sign warns that you will have to turn back or that the road is a cul-de-sac.

Question 33Road signs, signals and markings

You are waiting at a junction and a green filter arrow pointing left is showing while the main aspect remains red. What may you do?

  1. Proceed in any direction because the arrow overrides the red light
  2. Wait until the main aspect turns green before moving in any direction
  3. Proceed only in the direction of the arrow, after giving way as necessary Correct answer.
  4. Reverse to allow following traffic to use the filter

Explanation

A green filter arrow permits movement only in the direction the arrow points, even while the main light is red. You must still ensure the way is clear and give way where required. The main red aspect continues to prohibit all other movements.

Question 34Road signs, signals and markings

You see a broken white line running along the left-hand edge of the carriageway. What is its usual function?

  1. It marks a bus stop clearway that applies at all times
  2. It indicates the edge of a pedestrian crossing zone
  3. It prohibits parking on the verge beyond it
  4. It marks the boundary of the carriageway and may be crossed to enter a lay-by Correct answer.

Explanation

A broken white line at the edge of the carriageway marks its boundary and, unlike a solid edge line, may be crossed when necessary, for example to enter a lay-by or pull onto a verge. Solid edge lines restrict crossing. Bus stop clearways use yellow markings, not white edge lines.

Question 35Road signs, signals and markings

You are approaching a junction where the road is marked with a line of white triangles pointing towards you across your lane. What does this marking require?

  1. Give way to traffic on the major road Correct answer.
  2. Merge without slowing because you have priority
  3. Yield only to traffic approaching from the left
  4. Stop completely before proceeding in all cases

Explanation

A line of white triangles across your lane marks a give way line at a junction, requiring you to give way to traffic on the road you are joining. It is not a stop line, which is a solid white line and requires a complete stop. You must be prepared to stop if traffic is approaching.

Question 36Road signs, signals and markings

You see a sign showing a red circle with a blue background containing a white arrow pointing down and to the left. What does it require at a junction?

  1. Keep left of the traffic island or bollard Correct answer.
  2. Traffic must pass on the left of the sign only
  3. A left-hand bend is approaching
  4. Turn left ahead is prohibited

Explanation

A blue circle with a white arrow is a mandatory direction sign, and an arrow angling down to the left instructs you to keep to the left of an obstruction such as a bollard or traffic island. It is not a prohibition sign because the border is not red. Warning of a bend uses a triangular sign.

Question 37Road signs, signals and markings

You are driving on a motorway and see a red circle containing the number 70 on a gantry sign above your lane. What does this mean?

  1. The minimum permitted speed in that lane is 70 mph
  2. The lane ahead is closed 70 metres from the gantry
  3. An advisory speed of 70 mph applies in good weather only
  4. A mandatory maximum speed of 70 mph applies from that point Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle on a motorway gantry imposes a mandatory maximum speed limit from the sign onwards, and it must be obeyed. It is not advisory, which would be shown differently, and it does not set a minimum. Non-compliance can be enforced by camera.

Question 38Road signs, signals and markings

You are approaching a zebra crossing and see the zig-zag lines painted along the approach. What do these markings mean for drivers?

  1. You must sound your horn when a pedestrian is waiting
  2. You must not park on them and should not overtake the leading vehicle Correct answer.
  3. You may overtake slow vehicles within the zig-zag area
  4. You may park briefly on them to pick up a passenger

Explanation

Zig-zag lines at a zebra crossing prohibit parking within the marked area and also mean drivers should not overtake the vehicle nearest the crossing, because a pedestrian may be hidden from view. They keep the approach clear so waiting pedestrians can be seen. Horn use is not required and may startle pedestrians.

Question 39Road signs, signals and markings

You are driving in a built-up area and see a sign showing a red circle with a white arrow pointing left above the word 'except'. What does this combination indicate?

  1. A left turn is prohibited except for the vehicles named on the plate Correct answer.
  2. A left turn is compulsory for all traffic
  3. The road to the left is a one-way street for buses only
  4. A left-hand bend is unsuitable for long vehicles

Explanation

A red circle with a white arrow pointing left prohibits that turn, and an 'except' plate beneath it exempts the vehicle classes or users named on the plate, such as buses or access vehicles. The exemption applies only to those specified. Traffic not named must not make the turn.

Question 40Road signs, signals and markings

You are approaching a junction where a solid white line runs across your lane and a sign alongside shows a red octagon with the word STOP. What is required?

  1. Come to a complete stop at the line and proceed only when safe Correct answer.
  2. Stop only if another vehicle is already at the junction
  3. Stop only when a pedestrian is waiting to cross
  4. Slow down and proceed if nothing is coming from the right

Explanation

A stop sign is the only octagonal sign on our roads, and a solid white stop line accompanies it. You must bring the vehicle to a complete halt at the line, then proceed only when you have established that it is safe. A give way junction uses a triangle marking and does not require a full stop in every case.

Question 41Rules of the road and driving regulations

On a typical urban road in Hong Kong, what is the general speed limit unless signs show otherwise?

  1. 80 km/h
  2. 100 km/h
  3. 50 km/h Correct answer.
  4. 70 km/h

Explanation

In Hong Kong the default speed limit on ordinary roads in built-up areas is 50 km/h unless a sign shows a different limit. Higher limits such as 70 km/h or 80 km/h apply only where they are specifically signed, for example on some major routes. A driver must always obey the posted limit rather than assuming the general one.

Question 42Rules of the road and driving regulations

What does a double white line in the centre of the road mean for a driver?

  1. You may cross only to turn into a side road
  2. You may park alongside the lines at night
  3. You must not cross or straddle the lines Correct answer.
  4. You may cross to overtake if the road ahead is clear

Explanation

A double white line system prohibits crossing or straddling the lines, and this applies to both directions of traffic. The restriction exists because visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. Drivers needing to turn must wait until the markings permit it.

Question 43Rules of the road and driving regulations

At a pedestrian crossing controlled by zebra stripes without signals, what should you do when a pedestrian is waiting?

  1. Flash your headlights and drive through
  2. Sound the horn to warn them and continue
  3. Continue if you are already close to the crossing
  4. Slow down and give way to the pedestrian Correct answer.

Explanation

At a zebra crossing you must give way to pedestrians on the crossing and should slow down and prepare to stop for anyone waiting. Sounding the horn or flashing lights does not transfer priority to the vehicle. The duty is on the driver to allow pedestrians to cross safely.

Question 44Rules of the road and driving regulations

When may you use a handheld mobile phone while driving?

  1. When using it briefly to check a map
  2. When travelling slowly in a traffic queue
  3. Only when the vehicle is parked and the engine is off Correct answer.
  4. When stopped at a red traffic light

Explanation

Using a handheld phone while driving is prohibited, and being stationary in traffic or at a signal does not make it lawful. The safe and legal course is to be properly parked with the engine switched off before handling the device. Brief use is still use.

Question 45Rules of the road and driving regulations

What is the maximum permitted blood alcohol concentration for a provisional licence holder in Hong Kong?

  1. 80 mg per 100 ml of blood
  2. 20 mg per 100 ml of blood Correct answer.
  3. Any detectable level is permitted
  4. 50 mg per 100 ml of blood

Explanation

Provisional licence holders are subject to a lower prescribed limit of 20 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. The general limit for other drivers is 50 mg per 100 ml. The stricter threshold reflects the higher risk carried by inexperienced drivers.

Question 46Rules of the road and driving regulations

What must you do before moving off from the kerb into a stream of traffic?

  1. Sound the horn and move out immediately
  2. Rely on other drivers to slow down for you
  3. Signal, check mirrors and blind spot, then move when safe Correct answer.
  4. Pull out quickly so other drivers see you

Explanation

Before moving off you should signal your intention, check your mirrors and look over your shoulder to cover the blind spot. You may only move out when it is safe and you will not force other road users to change course. Other traffic has priority in the stream you are joining.

Question 47Rules of the road and driving regulations

When are you permitted to use hazard warning lights while the vehicle is moving?

  1. When you are about to park illegally
  2. When you want to thank another driver
  3. When you are driving slowly in a queue
  4. When your vehicle is causing an obstruction or hazard on a motorway Correct answer.

Explanation

Hazard warning lights are intended to warn others of a stationary or slow-moving hazard, such as a breakdown causing an obstruction. They should not be used as a greeting or as an excuse for unlawful parking. Misuse confuses other road users about your intentions.

Question 48Rules of the road and driving regulations

What is the purpose of a box junction marked with yellow criss-cross lines?

  1. To reserve the area for buses only
  2. To keep the junction clear of queuing traffic Correct answer.
  3. To mark where you may park briefly
  4. To allow U-turns within the junction

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to prevent vehicles from blocking the junction and obstructing cross traffic. You should not enter the box unless your exit is clear, apart from when turning right and waiting for oncoming traffic. Keeping the box clear maintains flow through the junction.

Question 49Rules of the road and driving regulations

You intend to turn right at a junction. What is the correct procedure regarding your signal?

  1. Signal only after you have started to turn
  2. Do not signal if no other vehicle is visible
  3. Signal in good time and cancel it after completing the turn Correct answer.
  4. Signal continuously until you park

Explanation

You should give a clear signal in good time before turning so that others can react, then cancel it once the manoeuvre is complete. Leaving a signal on, or signalling late, can mislead other road users. Signalling is required even when the road appears empty.

Question 50Rules of the road and driving regulations

On a three-lane carriageway, which lane should you normally use for travelling straight ahead?

  1. The left-hand lane unless overtaking Correct answer.
  2. The right-hand lane
  3. Whichever lane has the least traffic
  4. The middle lane at all times

Explanation

The normal driving lane is the left-hand lane, and the other lanes are for overtaking or for traffic following signs directing them elsewhere. Remaining in the middle or right lane without cause obstructs faster traffic. You should return to the left when it is safe.
