Question 1Road Signs, Signals and Markings

Under the FRSC highway code, what does a circular sign with a red border and a white background generally indicate?

  1. A prohibition or restriction that road users must obey Correct answer.
  2. A mandatory instruction to follow a direction
  3. A guide to a nearby facility or destination
  4. A warning of a hazard ahead

Explanation

Circular signs with a red border belong to the regulatory class and impose a prohibition or restriction, such as a speed limit or a no-entry rule. The shape and border colour let a driver recognise the sign type before reading the symbol inside. Warning signs use triangles, mandatory signs use blue circles, and guide signs are usually rectangular.

Question 2Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver approaching a red traffic light at a junction must:

  1. Slow down and proceed if the road looks clear
  2. Stop behind the stop line and wait until the light turns green Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn and continue through the junction
  4. Stop only if a traffic warden is present

Explanation

A red light is an absolute instruction to stop, and the vehicle must halt before the stop line or the crossing point. Proceeding on red is an offence regardless of whether other traffic is visible. Movement is only permitted once the signal shows green, or when a warden lawfully directs otherwise.

Question 3Road Signs, Signals and Markings

What does a broken white line running along the centre of a two-way carriageway mean?

  1. The lane is reserved for oncoming traffic
  2. Overtaking is permitted when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  3. Overtaking is prohibited at all times
  4. Parking is allowed on the carriageway

Explanation

A broken or intermittent centre line separates opposing flows but permits a driver to cross it to overtake when visibility and traffic conditions allow. It is advisory rather than an absolute prohibition. A continuous line, by contrast, must not be crossed.

Question 4Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A triangular sign with a red border showing a symbol of children is placed near a school. What action does it require from the driver?

  1. Stop completely and wait for a signal from a teacher
  2. Change to the opposite lane to give children space
  3. Maintain speed because the sign applies only during school hours
  4. Reduce speed and be prepared to stop for children crossing Correct answer.

Explanation

Triangular red-bordered signs are warnings, so this sign alerts the driver to children likely to be in the road. The correct response is to slow down and stay ready to stop, because children may step out unpredictably. It does not create a full stop obligation in itself.

Question 5Road Signs, Signals and Markings

At a junction controlled by a yellow flashing beacon, what does the signal tell the driver?

  1. Treat the junction as closed to traffic
  2. Give way only to vehicles approaching from the right
  3. Stop and wait for a green light before moving
  4. Proceed with caution after checking that the way is clear Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing yellow beacon warns that the traffic lights are not operating normally or that a hazard exists at the junction. Drivers must slow down, observe the priority rules and proceed only when it is safe. It is a caution signal, not a stop signal.

Question 6Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a continuous double yellow line along the edge of the carriageway. What does this marking convey?

  1. The lane may be used for overtaking during daylight
  2. Parking is allowed for up to thirty minutes
  3. The edge of the road is unmarked and unrestricted
  4. Waiting and parking are prohibited along that stretch at all times Correct answer.

Explanation

Double yellow lines along the kerb indicate a strict prohibition on waiting or parking at any time. The restriction protects visibility and traffic flow at that location. A single yellow line normally carries a time-limited restriction instead.

Question 7Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A blue circular sign shows a white arrow pointing straight ahead. What is the driver required to do?

  1. Stop and give way to traffic on the right
  2. Reduce speed to twenty kilometres per hour
  3. Proceed only in the direction indicated by the arrow Correct answer.
  4. Turn left at the next junction

Explanation

Blue circular signs are mandatory signs, so the white arrow obliges the driver to travel in the direction shown. Ignoring it is a traffic offence. Unlike a warning sign, it commands an action rather than merely advising caution.

Question 8Road Signs, Signals and Markings

Approaching a pedestrian crossing marked by broad white stripes on the road, a driver should:

  1. Sound the horn to warn pedestrians to wait
  2. Slow down and be ready to stop for a pedestrian on or about to enter the crossing Correct answer.
  3. Stop only if a pedestrian has already stepped onto the stripes
  4. Accelerate to clear the crossing before pedestrians arrive

Explanation

Zebra-type crossings give pedestrians priority, and the approach marking warns the driver in advance. The driver must reduce speed and prepare to stop as soon as someone shows an intention to cross. Waiting until a pedestrian is already on the stripes leaves too little stopping distance.

Question 9Road Signs, Signals and Markings

What is the meaning of a STOP sign at a road junction?

  1. Give way only to traffic approaching from the left
  2. Slow down and continue if no vehicle is in sight
  3. Bring the vehicle to a complete halt and give way before proceeding Correct answer.
  4. Stop only when a red light is also showing

Explanation

The octagonal STOP sign imposes a full stop at the marked line, after which the driver gives way to traffic on the priority road before moving off. A rolling slow-down does not satisfy the requirement. The stop must be complete even when the road appears empty.

Question 10Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver is in a lane marked with a white arrow that curves left, while the destination requires a right turn. What should the driver do?

  1. Change lanes across the solid line immediately before the junction
  2. Ignore the arrow because lane markings are advisory only
  3. Follow the lane arrow and find a legal route to turn around later Correct answer.
  4. Reverse out of the lane to reach the correct one

Explanation

Lane arrows are regulatory markings that commit a driver to the movement shown for that lane. Once committed, the safe and lawful course is to follow the arrow and re-route afterwards. Crossing a solid line or reversing near a junction creates serious conflict with other traffic.

Question 11Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A traffic warden raises an arm with the palm facing oncoming traffic. How must a driver respond?

  1. Stop only if the traffic light is red
  2. Stop and remain stopped until the warden signals otherwise Correct answer.
  3. Continue slowly past the warden
  4. Reverse away from the junction

Explanation

Hand signals from a traffic warden take precedence over the fixed signals, and a raised palm facing traffic means stop. The driver must halt and wait for a new signal before moving. Continuing past the warden would breach a lawful direction.

Question 12Road Signs, Signals and Markings

What does a rectangular blue sign bearing a white letter 'P' indicate?

  1. A prohibited route
  2. A pedestrian zone
  3. A designated parking area Correct answer.
  4. A police checkpoint

Explanation

The letter P on a blue rectangular sign marks a place where parking is permitted, often with conditions shown on the same sign. It is an information sign rather than a prohibition. Drivers should read any supplementary plate for time limits or charges.

Question 13Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver on a dual carriageway sees a central reservation marked with a continuous white line and chevron hatching. What is the correct interpretation?

  1. The hatching marks a lane reserved for heavy vehicles
  2. The hatched area is not for driving and the continuous line must not be crossed Correct answer.
  3. The continuous line may be crossed to make a U-turn
  4. The hatched area may be used for overtaking when traffic is light

Explanation

Chevron hatching marks an area that vehicles must keep off, often shielding a hazard or separating traffic streams. The continuous white line bordering it must not be crossed. Using the hatched area to overtake or U-turn is both unlawful and hazardous.

Question 14Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A circular sign shows a red border with the number 50 inside. What does it require?

  1. A distance of fifty metres to the next junction
  2. A minimum speed of fifty kilometres per hour
  3. A weight limit of fifty tonnes
  4. A maximum speed of fifty kilometres per hour Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle containing a numeral is a regulatory speed limit sign, so the figure is the maximum permitted speed in kilometres per hour. Drivers may travel slower but not faster. Minimum speed limits appear on blue circular signs instead.

Question 15Road Signs, Signals and Markings

At a T-junction where the driver's road ends, the road markings show a broken white line across the mouth of the side road. What does this indicate?

  1. Give way to traffic on the through road before joining it Correct answer.
  2. Stop completely before entering the through road
  3. The through road has no priority over the side road
  4. Traffic on the side road has automatic right of way

Explanation

A broken white line across the mouth of a side road is the give-way marking, requiring the driver to yield to traffic on the road being joined. It differs from the solid stop line used with a STOP sign, which demands a complete halt. Yielding still requires the driver to judge a safe gap.

Question 16Road Signs, Signals and Markings

What is the purpose of a yellow box junction marking on the carriageway?

  1. To mark a loading zone for goods vehicles
  2. To keep the junction clear so that cross traffic is not blocked Correct answer.
  3. To reserve the area for buses turning right
  4. To allow vehicles to queue inside the box during congestion

Explanation

A yellow box junction is a keep-clear area designed to prevent gridlock at busy intersections. A driver should only enter when the exit is clear, apart from the limited case of waiting to turn right while blocked by oncoming traffic. Stopping inside the box otherwise obstructs cross traffic.

Question 17Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar across it. What does this sign mean?

  1. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  2. No horn sounding allowed
  3. No parking at any time
  4. No overtaking permitted

Explanation

The red circle with a white horizontal bar is the universal no-entry sign, warning drivers that they must not proceed past it. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street. Entering against it risks a head-on conflict with oncoming traffic.

Question 18Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A pedestrian light shows a steady red standing figure while the vehicle light is green. A driver intending to turn left across the crossing should:

  1. Proceed because the vehicle light is green
  2. Wait for pedestrians to clear the crossing before completing the turn Correct answer.
  3. Turn quickly behind the pedestrians regardless of space
  4. Sound the horn so pedestrians hurry across

Explanation

A steady red pedestrian figure means pedestrians are still completing their crossing, so a turning driver must yield to them. The green vehicle light does not override the pedestrians' right to finish crossing safely. Turning behind them without adequate clearance endangers people in the road.

Question 19Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A diamond-shaped sign with a yellow background is placed on the approach to a railway level crossing. What does the shape and colour tell the driver?

  1. It is a regulatory sign imposing a speed limit
  2. It is a mandatory instruction to stop immediately
  3. It is a warning of a special hazard requiring extra caution Correct answer.
  4. It is a guide sign showing a route number

Explanation

Diamond-shaped yellow signs are used for warnings of special hazards, and at a level crossing they alert the driver to an approaching rail line. The driver should reduce speed, look and listen, and be ready to stop. The sign itself does not impose an immediate stop.

Question 20Road Signs, Signals and Markings

On a three-lane one-way street, a driver in the left lane sees a white arrow pointing right painted in that lane. What is the safest lawful action?

  1. Ignore the marking and continue straight
  2. Stop in the lane and reverse
  3. Follow the lane's indicated direction and re-plan the route Correct answer.
  4. Change lanes abruptly without signalling

Explanation

Painted lane arrows direct traffic into the movement assigned to each lane, and drivers are expected to comply with the marking. If the indicated direction does not match the intended destination, the driver should follow it and re-route legally. Sudden lane changes or reversing in a live lane create collisions.

Question 21Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver passes a sign showing a lorry inside a red circle. What restriction does it impose?

  1. Goods vehicles above the stated weight are prohibited from the route Correct answer.
  2. Lorries have priority over other traffic
  3. Lorries may park on the verge
  4. All vehicles must reduce speed to lorry pace

Explanation

A red circle containing a lorry symbol is a regulatory prohibition on goods vehicles, usually qualified by a weight plate beneath the sign. It restricts access rather than granting priority. Drivers of heavy vehicles must divert to an alternative route.

Question 22Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver approaching a junction sees a broken white line across the entry to the side road plus a triangular sign showing a broad arrow pointing downward. What is the combined meaning?

  1. The major road must yield to the side road
  2. Give way to traffic on the major road before proceeding Correct answer.
  3. Stop completely and wait for a green signal
  4. The side road is closed to traffic

Explanation

The inverted triangle with a broad downward arrow is the give-way warning, and the broken line across the side road confirms the yield point. Together they require the driver to let traffic on the major road pass before joining. A complete stop is only compulsory where a STOP sign and solid line are present.

Question 23Road Signs, Signals and Markings

What does a single broken yellow line along the edge of the carriageway usually indicate?

  1. A permanent total ban on stopping
  2. A lane reserved for overtaking
  3. A waiting or parking restriction that applies during specified times Correct answer.
  4. A boundary of a pedestrian-only zone

Explanation

A single yellow edge line typically signals a waiting restriction that operates during posted hours, unlike the double line which applies at all times. Drivers must check nearby plates for the exact times. It does not affect overtaking or define a pedestrian zone.

Question 24Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver is following a slow-moving tanker on a road with a continuous white centre line and a broken line on the driver's side. What does this combination permit?

  1. Overtaking at any time because one line is broken
  2. No overtaking under any circumstances
  3. Crossing to overtake only when the broken line is on the driver's side and it is safe Correct answer.
  4. Overtaking only if the tanker signals to the left

Explanation

Where a continuous and a broken line run together, the rule follows the line nearest the driver. A broken line on the driver's side permits crossing to overtake when conditions are safe, while traffic on the other side faces the continuous line and may not cross. Safety and visibility still govern the decision.

Question 25Road Signs, Signals and Markings

At a roundabout, a driver sees a broken white line across the approach and a triangular give-way sign. How should the driver enter?

  1. Stop fully and wait for a warden's signal
  2. Yield to traffic already circulating and enter only when there is a safe gap Correct answer.
  3. Enter immediately because circulating traffic must stop
  4. Enter on the right-hand side of the island

Explanation

Roundabout approaches in Nigeria are marked with give-way lines and signs, requiring the driver to yield to vehicles already on the circulatory carriageway. Entry should occur only when a safe gap appears. Circulating traffic has priority and is not obliged to stop for entering vehicles.

Question 26Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver approaches a set of traffic lights showing a steady amber (yellow) signal with no green arrow. What does this signal require?

  1. Stop, unless the driver is so close that stopping safely is not possible Correct answer.
  2. Continue at the same speed because amber means the light is about to turn green
  3. Sound the horn and proceed through the junction without delay
  4. Reverse to the stop line before the red signal appears

Explanation

A steady amber signal warns that the light is about to become red, so a driver must stop unless the vehicle is already so near the stop line that pulling up safely is impossible. It never authorises acceleration through the junction, and reversing on the approach is dangerous and unlawful.

Question 27Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a circular sign with a red border containing a picture of two children running. What does this sign require the driver to do?

  1. Keep the current speed because the sign applies only during school holidays
  2. Stop completely and wait for a warden to wave the vehicle through
  3. Change lanes to the right to pass the area more quickly
  4. Reduce speed and watch for children who may cross unexpectedly Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle with children warns of a school or playground area where children may run into the road, so the driver should slow down and stay ready to stop. It is a warning of hazard rather than a command to halt at the sign itself.

Question 28Road Signs, Signals and Markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, the green lamp is showing but a traffic officer facing the driver holds an arm raised vertically with the palm forward. How should the driver act?

  1. Edge forward slowly while sounding the horn to warn the officer
  2. Stop and obey the officer, because the officer's signal overrides the light Correct answer.
  3. Proceed because a green light always gives priority over any person on the road
  4. Wait for the officer to lower the arm, then treat the light as red

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer or authorised traffic officer take precedence over traffic lights and road markings. A raised hand with the palm toward traffic means stop, even where the vehicle signal is green.

Question 29Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver on a two-way road sees a broken white centre line where the dashes on the driver's side are noticeably shorter and closer together than the dashes on the opposite side. What does this pattern indicate?

  1. The driver must move to the centre of the road and maintain that position
  2. The line is a hazard warning line, and overtaking is permitted only if it can be completed safely Correct answer.
  3. Overtaking is prohibited in both directions for the whole length of the line
  4. The road is one-way and the shorter dashes mark the edge of the carriageway

Explanation

A hazard warning line uses shorter, closer dashes on the side approaching the hazard to discourage overtaking where visibility is limited. It does not ban overtaking outright, but a driver may cross it only when the manoeuvre is clearly safe.

Question 30Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver on a motorway passes under a gantry signal showing a red X above one lane, while the other lanes show no signal. What must the driver do?

  1. Move out of the lane marked with the red X and not drive in it until the signal is cleared Correct answer.
  2. Treat the red X as advice and continue if the lane ahead looks clear
  3. Reduce speed to 30 km/h and stay in the marked lane
  4. Stop immediately in the marked lane and wait for the signal to change

Explanation

A red X on a motorway gantry closes that lane, usually because of an incident, stopped traffic or workers ahead. The driver must leave the lane as soon as it is safe and must not re-enter it while the X is displayed.

Question 31Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a sign showing a white bicycle inside a red circle on a path beside the carriageway. What does this sign mean for the driver of a motor vehicle?

  1. Motor vehicles may use the path if no cyclists are present
  2. Motor vehicles are prohibited from using that path Correct answer.
  3. Cyclists must give way to motor vehicles entering the path
  4. The path is a compulsory route for cyclists only during daylight

Explanation

A red circle is a prohibitory sign, so a bicycle inside it means the route is closed to cyclists and, by extension, motor vehicles have no right to use a cycle path. Motor vehicles must stay on the carriageway.

Question 32Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver waiting at a junction sees a flashing amber light at a pelican-type crossing while the vehicle signal shows flashing amber. What is the correct action?

  1. Give way to pedestrians still on the crossing and proceed only when it is clear Correct answer.
  2. Drive on immediately because flashing amber gives vehicles priority over everyone
  3. Reverse away from the crossing and use another route
  4. Stop and remain stationary until a steady green light appears

Explanation

Flashing amber at a pedestrian crossing means vehicles may proceed only if no pedestrian is still on the crossing. The driver must yield to anyone finishing their crossing before moving off.

Question 33Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a broken white line painted across the entrance to a side road, together with a triangular warning sign showing a minor road joining from the left. What does the broken line across the side road indicate to traffic emerging from it?

  1. The side road has priority and main-road traffic must slow down
  2. Traffic on the main road must stop and let the side road traffic join
  3. The side road is closed and no vehicle may enter it
  4. Traffic on the side road must give way to traffic on the main road Correct answer.

Explanation

A broken white line across the mouth of a side road marks a give-way line for traffic emerging from that road. The triangular sign warns main-road drivers of the junction, but priority remains with the main road.

Question 34Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver approaches a level crossing where a sign shows a steam train inside a red triangle and, below it, another sign shows a gate or barrier symbol. What should the driver understand?

  1. The signs apply only to heavy goods vehicles and buses
  2. A railway crossing with barriers lies ahead, and the driver must be prepared to stop Correct answer.
  3. The train symbol means a station car park is located ahead
  4. The crossing is for pedestrians only and vehicles may pass without checking

Explanation

A red triangle containing a train warns of a railway level crossing, and the additional plate showing a barrier or gate indicates the crossing is protected by barriers. Drivers must slow down, obey the lights and barriers, and be ready to stop.

Question 35Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver is travelling in the left-hand lane of a dual carriageway when the lane is marked with a large white arrow pointing diagonally left toward an exit slip road. What does the marking tell the driver?

  1. The driver must stop in the lane and wait for a gap in traffic
  2. The lane leads to the exit and the driver should follow it or change lane earlier if continuing ahead Correct answer.
  3. The lane is reserved for overtaking and must be left clear
  4. The lane continues straight ahead and the arrow is only decorative

Explanation

Direction arrows painted in a lane show where that lane leads. A diagonal arrow toward a slip road means the lane diverges to the exit, so a driver who wants to continue on the main carriageway should move to a through lane before the diverge point.

Question 36Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a rectangular sign with a white background and a black diagonal line crossing a place name. What does this sign indicate?

  1. The driver is leaving the built-up area named on the sign Correct answer.
  2. The driver is entering a built-up area with a lower speed limit
  3. The named place is closed to through traffic
  4. The road ahead is a dead end at the named place

Explanation

A place-name sign with a diagonal cancellation stroke marks the end of a built-up area, so the urban default speed limit no longer applies beyond it. The corresponding entry sign carries the name without the stroke.

Question 37Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver is following roadworks where a temporary sign shows a black arrow bending to the right on a yellow background. What does this sign require?

  1. Keep to the right of the obstruction ahead Correct answer.
  2. Overtake the vehicle ahead on its right side immediately
  3. Turn right at the next junction without exception
  4. Leave the road and rejoin beyond the roadworks

Explanation

Yellow-backed temporary signs with a bending arrow direct traffic around an obstruction, in this case telling drivers to pass on the right-hand side. The instruction relates to the works site, not to the next junction.

Question 38Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a yellow box junction marking at a junction and intends to turn right. Traffic ahead is stationary. How should the driver use the box?

  1. Avoid the box entirely and stop before it until the light turns red
  2. Enter the box and sound the horn to clear a path through the junction
  3. Enter only if the exit is clear, waiting in the box if necessary only to complete the right turn Correct answer.
  4. Enter the box and wait behind the vehicle ahead regardless of the exit

Explanation

A yellow box junction must not be entered unless the exit road is clear, with one exception: a driver turning right may wait in the box for a gap in oncoming traffic. Blocking the box in other circumstances obstructs the junction.

Question 39Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver approaches a sign showing a white diagonal cross on a blue background. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A crossroads junction lies ahead and traffic from the right has priority
  2. The area is a pedestrian zone closed to motor vehicles
  3. A railway crossing without barriers lies ahead
  4. The road ahead is a clearway where stopping is prohibited Correct answer.

Explanation

A blue square with a white diagonal cross is the clearway sign, meaning vehicles may not stop on the carriageway except in an emergency or where signs permit. Stopping to pick up or set down passengers is not allowed.

Question 40Road Signs, Signals and Markings

A driver sees a circular blue sign showing a white arrow pointing down and to the left, with the arrow curving around a central island. What does this sign require?

  1. Pass the obstruction on its right-hand side
  2. Give way to traffic approaching from the left
  3. Keep left of the central island or obstruction Correct answer.
  4. Turn left at the next junction and leave the roundabout

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a white arrow is a mandatory direction sign, and an arrow bending down and left means traffic must pass to the left of the island or obstruction. It directs movement around the feature rather than ordering a turn at a junction.

Question 41Traffic Rules and Regulations

Under the National Road Traffic Regulations, what is the general speed limit for a private car travelling on a built-up area road (town or city) in Nigeria unless signs indicate otherwise?

  1. 50 km/h Correct answer.
  2. 80 km/h
  3. 100 km/h
  4. 120 km/h

Explanation

The national speed limit for vehicles inside built-up areas such as towns and cities is 50 km/h unless a lower limit is posted. Higher limits apply only on highways and expressways, so a driver in town must keep to 50 km/h even when the road looks clear.

Question 42Traffic Rules and Regulations

A traffic warden raises his arm with the palm facing you and holds it steady at a junction. What does this signal require you to do?

  1. Sound your horn and continue
  2. Stop and wait until the signal changes Correct answer.
  3. Reverse to clear the junction
  4. Proceed slowly past the warden

Explanation

A raised hand with the palm facing oncoming traffic is the standard signal to stop. The warden's signals override traffic lights and road signs, so you must halt and remain stopped until he lowers the hand or directs you onward. Proceeding against the palm is a traffic offence.

Question 43Traffic Rules and Regulations

At a four-way junction with no traffic lights, no warden and no sign giving priority, which vehicle should be allowed to go first?

  1. The vehicle that sounds its horn first
  2. The largest vehicle at the junction
  3. The vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.
  4. The vehicle that arrived last

Explanation

Where there is no signal or sign to set priority, the rule is to give way to traffic approaching from your right. This keeps the junction orderly because each driver yields in one consistent direction. Size, horn use and arrival order do not create a right of way.

Question 44Traffic Rules and Regulations

What does a continuous solid white line running along the centre of the road mean for a driver?

  1. You may cross it only to enter a side road
  2. It marks the edge of a parking bay
  3. Overtaking is permitted if the road is clear
  4. Do not cross or straddle the line Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous solid centre line tells drivers not to cross or straddle it, so overtaking is prohibited along that stretch. It is normally used where visibility is poor or the road is narrow. A broken line, by contrast, may be crossed when it is safe.

Question 45Traffic Rules and Regulations

Which document must a driver produce when a police officer or FRSC officer asks for it during a roadside check?

  1. A recent passport photograph
  2. A valid driver's licence Correct answer.
  3. A letter from the local government
  4. A copy of the vehicle's service record

Explanation

A valid driver's licence is the primary document proving you are authorised to drive, and it must be produced on demand. Officers may also ask for vehicle papers such as the vehicle licence and insurance, but the driver's licence is the core personal document. Driving without it is an offence.

Question 46Traffic Rules and Regulations

What is the correct action when you approach a pedestrian crossing where a person is already stepping onto the zebra stripes?

  1. Flash your headlights and continue
  2. Stop and let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn to warn the pedestrian
  4. Slow down and pass behind the pedestrian

Explanation

Pedestrians already on a zebra crossing have priority, so a driver must stop and let them cross. Flashing lights or hooting does not transfer priority to the vehicle. Failing to give way at a pedestrian crossing is a serious offence.

Question 47Traffic Rules and Regulations

Which of these is the correct way to use a roundabout when you intend to take the first exit to the left?

  1. Enter on the right lane and cut across to the exit
  2. Enter on the left lane, signal left, and keep left through the exit Correct answer.
  3. Enter on the right lane, signal right, then exit left
  4. Enter without signalling and choose a lane inside

Explanation

For the first exit, you approach in the left lane, signal left before entering, and stay in the left lane as you leave. This keeps you clear of vehicles going further round. Cutting across lanes inside the roundabout causes collisions.

Question 48Traffic Rules and Regulations

In Nigeria, which side of the road must you drive on?

  1. The left side
  2. The right side Correct answer.
  3. Whichever side is clearer
  4. The centre of the road

Explanation

Nigeria uses right-hand traffic, so vehicles keep to the right side of the road. Overtaking is therefore done on the left. Driving on the wrong side is a major cause of head-on collisions.

Question 49Traffic Rules and Regulations

You are driving at night and an oncoming vehicle approaches with bright headlights. What is the safest response?

  1. Speed up to pass quickly
  2. Switch your own lights off briefly
  3. Reduce speed and look towards the left edge of your lane Correct answer.
  4. Look directly at the oncoming lights to judge distance

Explanation

Glare from oncoming headlights can temporarily blind you, so you should slow down and shift your gaze towards the left edge of your lane to keep your position. Never stare at the lights. Slowing gives you time to react to anything hidden by the glare.

Question 50Traffic Rules and Regulations

When should a driver use hazard warning lights?

  1. When the vehicle is broken down or stationary and poses a hazard Correct answer.
  2. When driving through heavy rain at speed
  3. When parking illegally to warn other drivers
  4. When overtaking on a busy road

Explanation

Hazard lights are for warning others that your vehicle is a stationary hazard, such as when it has broken down. Using them while moving in rain or while overtaking confuses other drivers about your intentions. They do not make illegal parking lawful.
