Parking on the carriageway is only allowed on a priority road within the built-up area, especially on roads with a maximum speed of 50 km/h. Outside the built-up area, parking in the verge is preferred for safety reasons.

If you guide livestock or draught animals, you are always considered a driver, whether you are walking beside the animal or riding it.

Never load/unload or let passengers get in or out on/next to a cycle lane. Pre-sorting is only allowed if there is a broken line and without causing obstruction.

Traffic sign A only indicates that through traffic goes left; you are not required to drive in that direction. However, traffic sign B means a one-way street to the left, so you must follow the arrow there and are not allowed to turn right.

So your answer to the question: B, because you are required to follow the arrow there.

Your speedometer must never be defective while driving; however, the RPM (revolutions per minute) gauge and odometer may be. Remember: gauges may be defective, but the meter must not be!

Alcohol reduces your ability to react, which results in a longer stopping distance rather than a shorter one. So the answer is no; the stopping distance becomes longer.

You should place the warning triangle 30 metres behind your vehicle if you have not activated the hazard lights. Each corner of the triangle symbolises 10 metres. Answer: 30 metres.

If your driving licence has been suspended, you are not allowed to drive any vehicle that requires a driving licence, including a moped. If you are under a driving ban, you are not allowed to drive anything, not even a bicycle.

A Kanta is for people with a disability and does not require a driving licence, while a brommobiel does require a driving licence and follows the rules for motor vehicles. So the correct answer is C.

Children under 1.35 meters must be transported in a child seat or booster seat. They can sit both in the front and rear of the vehicle, but if they sit in the front facing the seat, the airbag must be disabled. This prevents serious injury in the event of an accident. In the situation where the airbag is already disabled, it is safest to transport the child facing the seat.

At both markings, you must give way to drivers on the intersecting road. Marking A is a stop line, where you must always stop, even if no one is approaching. Marking B consists of shark teeth. The correct answer is therefore A!

When changing lanes, you must check carefully that you do not obstruct anyone, as this is a special manoeuvre. During this manoeuvre, you must give way to all other road users, so you must allow the overtaking vehicle to pass.

Make sure you only move to the side safely for emergency vehicles with priority. Avoid dangerous situations and traffic violations. Option A (driving onto the verge) is not safe, and option B (stopping on the hatched road markings) is not allowed. Therefore, choose option C: continue driving calmly in your lane until you can safely create space for the emergency vehicles. Allow the emergency vehicles to perform dangerous manoeuvres, as they are trained for this.

In a blue zone, you may only park with a parking disc. Without a parking disc, you are allowed to stop here for loading, unloading, or for picking up and dropping off passengers. Don’t forget to set the parking disc to the "arrival time."

Option A is incorrect because too low tyre pressure actually leads to higher fuel consumption; the car has to work harder.

Options B and C are about RPM: high RPM means you use a lot of fuel, which leads to higher fuel consumption. At low RPM (Option B), you save fuel.

Here is a short summary of how to do it correctly:

• Option A: Never stop or let passengers get out onto the verge of an autoweg.
• Option B: Parking in a disabled person’s parking space is not allowed, but you may let passengers get in or out and load/unload there.
• Option C: You may stop at a broken yellow line to let passengers get in or out, but not at a solid yellow line.
• Option D: You may not stop on or along a cycle lane for passengers.

The correct answers are B and C.

At this priority junction with shark's teeth markings, we must give priority to drivers on the intersecting road. The motorcycle goes first, as they are on the side of the pedestrian (ears). The pedestrian goes next, as we see their back, and the lorry sees their face. Finally, the lorry has priority over us, as it makes the short turn on the same road as us. Therefore, the correct order is: cyclist, pedestrian, lorry, and then us.

Full beam headlights, indicated by a blue light dashboard symbol, can blind other road users. In situation A, you blind the oncoming vehicle, and in situation B, you blind the vehicle in front of you via its interior mirror. In both cases, you are blinding a vehicle. Full beam headlights should only be used at night if there is no one nearby.

Wait with your vehicle until you reach the stop line, as from your current position you do not have a clear view of traffic from both the left and right.

Lorries and vehicles with a trailer longer than 7 meters are not allowed to use the leftmost lane on roads with more than two lanes. In our situation, with three lanes, the lorry cannot therefore drive in your lane.

In situation A, we cannot change lanes due to the solid line, while in situation B, lane changing is possible because of the broken line. Therefore, lane changing is only permitted in situation B.

Motorcyclists ride between lanes, especially in heavy traffic. When there are more than two lanes, they ride as far left as possible in the middle. When a motorcyclist is approaching, motorists should make room by moving to the right or left. So, if you're in the right-hand lane, move a little to the right.

Yes, of course! When there is merging traffic, it is socially responsible and safe to briefly move to the left and stay there. If there is no merging traffic, you must drive as far right as possible again.

We see a cycle path that is mandatory for cyclists and snorfietsers. Snorfietsers follow the rules of cyclists. On the carriageway, you can expect anything except cyclists and snorfietsers. You may encounter brommobielen and agricultural vehicles, as they follow the rules of motor vehicles.

Aquaplaning is a situation where a layer of water forms between the tyres and the road surface, which can lead to skidding. The wider the tyre, the more water it has to displace, increasing the risk of aquaplaning. This typically happens in areas with ruts, such as the right-hand lane on the motorway.

If there are no traffic signs, you should look at the road surface to determine the maximum speed. If there is green paint, the speed is 100 km/h; without green paint, it is 80 km/h. Therefore, in both situations, you may drive at 80 km/h. The correct answer is C.

Overtaking on the right is only permitted in the following situations: Traffic jam, Roundabout, Merging, Existing, Tram.

Image A: No traffic jam, roundabout, block road markings, or tram; overtaking on the right is not permitted.
Image B: Contains a tram; overtaking on the right is permitted.

Answer: B!

A military convoy must be given priority when we are at an equal level, which happens when we are on the same carriageway or at an equal junction. We can see that the convoy has started. Remember that the first vehicle has a blue flag, the vehicles in between have no flags, and the last vehicle has a green flag. If we are on the same road and the convoy has clearly started, we must give them priority.

Lorries and vehicles with a trailer longer than 7 meters are not allowed to use the leftmost lane when there are more than two lanes. In situation A, overtaking is allowed in the middle lane, while in situation B, overtaking is not allowed in the left lane.

Buses have priority when departing from a bus stop within the built-up area. This applies to both line buses and coaches. However, if a bus is departing from a parking lot, this priority rule does not apply. So, be sure to pay attention during the exam to whether the bus is coming from a bus stop or a parking lot!

Here we see that we are driving on a motorway, where we observe matrix signs, also known as electronic signs. What you need to know is that electronic signs take precedence over the traffic signs. So our maximum speed is now 70 km/h, in other words, we must now follow signs with the lowest speed.

We are at an equal junction without signs. The rule is that traffic from the right has priority. Since the motorcycle is coming from the left, it goes last. Between us and the cyclist, we determine the order based on the traffic rules: the cyclist goes straight ahead first, followed by us, and lastly the motorcycle.

In rain, you have less grip, which causes the stopping distance and braking distance to become longer. Therefore, options B and C are incorrect, and the correct answer is A. A layer of slime forms after a long dry period when dirt on the road surface mixes with rainwater, causing extra slipperiness.

In option A, the lorry cannot change lanes, so no conflict occurs. Option C is unrealistic because other drivers won’t let you change lanes first. Option B is the most likely, as a conflict can arise if both you and the van beside you try to change lanes without paying attention.

The saying "look further than the length of your nose" means to think ahead and anticipate events. In this case, if a bus wants to leave from a bus stop, you can expect that the car in front of you will brake to give priority to the bus. Option A cannot be correct because we are at a priority junction, where the car from the right with shark teeth markings gives us priority.

We are approaching a priority junction with give-way markings (shark teeth), which means we must give way to drivers on the crossing road. When pedestrians want to cross, we do not have to give way if we see the EARS of the pedestrians. Tip: EARS = NO Priority. The answer is therefore: A.

At this junction, the lorry has priority due to the short turn. We can see the back of the pedestrian, while the lorry driver sees the pedestrian’s face. Therefore, the pedestrian goes first, followed by the lorry, and then we.

When other road users merge, it is both socially and safely advisable to change lanes. The van driver will also try to move to the left lane to create space. It is wise to think ahead and adjust your speed in good time, so you can react safely if the van doesn't notice you. Expect the van to make space for merging traffic by changing lanes.

This is an equal junction; the tractor coming from the left must go last, and no vehicles are coming from the right, so we have priority. We see a pedestrian, but because we see her ear, we don't have to give way to her. The order is: us first, then the pedestrian, and lastly, the tractor, which must give way to the pedestrian because it can see her face.

If you want to hit the road, your speedometer and dipped headlights must always be functioning! Without these two, you are forbidden to drive. The tachometer (helpful for shifting gears) and the odometer (counts only kilometres) may be broken.

Simple: Are you guiding your livestock or a draft animal? Driver! Are you in a wheelchair? Also a driver! Skates on? Then you're simply a pedestrian. And are you holding your bicycle? Then you're suddenly NOT a driver anymore, but a pedestrian again. Easy, right?

Sign A: Compulsory to follow, but be sure to look around—traffic can come from all directions!
Sign B: No entry, but watch out: oncoming vehicles are definitely there!
Sign C: Oncoming vehicles have priority. Do you see one? Brake and let it pass!

Sign D: No oncoming vehicles! This is a one-way street. Feel free to keep driving.
Sign E: One-way street, but with an exception. So here you can expect oncoming vehicles!
Sign F: Motorway? No way you’ll have oncoming vehicles here!
Sign G: Dead-end road. You can drive in and out, so yes, oncoming vehicles can be there.
Sign H: For lorries with hazardous substances only. You? Just pay attention, traffic can come from anywhere!

A: Disabled person's parking space? You are not allowed to park here, but you may stop briefly to let someone get in or out, or to load and unload goods quickly.

B: Cycle lane? No, absolutely not! You are not allowed to park here and also not allowed to stop.

C: A parking space? There is never a stopping ban here, so you may park and stop for loading, unloading, or getting in and out.

D: Yellow broken line? Parking is prohibited, but you may stop briefly to drop someone off or unload goods.

A separate number plate is reserved for a trailer with a unique yellow number plate, which is completely different from that of the car. This applies only to trailers that weigh more than 750 kg.

Full beam headlights: Only use at night when driving alone, not in rain or during the day.

Dipped headlights: Your lifesaver! Always use in poor visibility.

Rear fog lights: Only use in fog or snow, when visibility is less than 50 metres. Never in rain!

Side lights: Parking lights, only use when stationary, and absolutely not in rain!

Note: There can be more correct answers, but that is not always the case.

Sign B: It is the end of an advisory speed.

Sign C: End of a maximum speed.

Sign D: This is a maximum speed on a matrix sign.

So, your answer is traffic sign A: This is a maximum speed on a traffic sign, which is what your question was asking about.

Side lights, also known as parking lights, should only be used when standing still or parking in the dark at an obstructed location. This is only the case in situation A, as you are partly on the verge and partly on the carriageway. In situation B, you are fully on the verge, so no one will be disturbed by this. Therefore, the side lights are not mandatory in this situation.

A: There we see electronic signs they are above the traffic signs. You are not allowed to drive not faster than 90 km/h now.

B: Between the times, so in the afternoon, the maximum speed is 100 km per hour.

C: The maximum speed is not 100 km per hour there, but 130 km per hour, because this is a motorway.

Note: Yellow markings on the road surface are temporary markings, for example due to roadworks. But remember that yellow markings are above the white markings.

Driving under the influence of medication is only allowed if it does not affect your ability to drive. Note: medication with a yellow sticker must not be used while driving. Always consult the leaflet to check for side effects of the medication.

Remember: the tram has special priority rules! The tram always has priority on the same road and at an equal junction. When we are all on the same road, the tram always goes first. Then, the pedestrians follow, as we see their back.

We can see that the signs are covered with snow. However, by the outline of the signs, we can deduce that:

Sign A: Has shark teeth – here you must give way.
Sign B: Is a warning sign.
Sign C: Has a diamond shape, which means it indicates a priority road or the end of a priority road.

If you want to turn right when approaching a roundabout, you must indicate to the right before entering the roundabout, not when you're already on it (because then it will be too late). So, make sure to signal in advance.

"Diversion route" stands for the letter "U", which you can now see at the top right of the sign. To get there, you need to turn right at the roundabout – that is the first exit.

Remaining in the car after a collision is never advisable! After an accident on the motorway, get behind the nearest crash barrier as quickly as possible. Are you on the left-hand lane? Then safely and swiftly exit the vehicle and wait at position 1.

After a collision, you should never touch a victim, except in the following exceptional situations:

Vomiting → Place the victim in the stable side position.
Unconscious → Place the victim in the stable side position.
Bleeding → Stop the blood loss with a piece of clothing.

We are approaching a priority junction. We see that there are give way markings (shark's teeth); this means that our oncoming vehicle, the motorcycle, also has to stop (do not hesitate, even though it has already passed). The cyclist goes first. Then we go, as we are travelling straight on the same road as the motorcyclist.

The braking distance and stopping distance become longer when, for a particular reason, you find it more difficult to stop when necessary:

Situation A: You can stop easily, so the braking distance and stopping distance become shorter.
Situation B: A new road surface has just been laid, and it is still slippery, meaning it is harder to stop.
Situation C: Extra weight means higher fuel costs, but also that it is more difficult to stop. This results in a longer braking distance.
Situation D: Good anticipation helps you observe and react better, allowing you to stop more easily.
Situation E: Seasonal tyres may reduce grip, making it harder to stop.
Situation F: The reaction time is typically 1 second, but if it increases, it will take longer to stop.

We save fuel by driving in the highest possible gear. Because when the gear is high, the RPM (revolutions per minute) will be low.

We save fuel with: High gear and low RPM.

A seat belt that runs along the neck can be very dangerous. To solve this, we simply give the child a booster seat.

We are at a junction with equal priority. The driver to our right goes first; that is the tractor. Between us and the cyclist, we don't give way to the cyclist because we are going straight ahead on the same road as the cyclist.

Normally, you should never cross a solid line, but now you can, because the rush hour lane is open! In this case, the continuous line no longer applies. So, step on the gas and go ahead with overtaking.

Driving away from the side is a special manoeuvre. And when performing a special manoeuvre, you must give way to everyone. And by everyone, it means: all pedestrians and drivers. So, the traffic.

Look, in a tunnel, there is no hard shoulder where you can stop in case of a breakdown or emergency. So, if you are almost at the end of the tunnel, try to drive through. Once outside the tunnel, you will have a hard shoulder where you can safely stop. Waiting inside the tunnel is really dangerous.

We are approaching a priority junction. We see that we are nearing give way markings (shark teeth), so we must give way to the crossing driver, the red car. However, we do not give way to the pedestrian, as we see the ears and therefore pedestrians do not have priority.

We see a narrow road. The lorry and we cannot drive side by side, so one of us must move over. And that will be you! Expecting a heavy vehicle to move onto the verge is not logical, as it has a greater chance of getting stuck or sliding out.

If you can expect mud, the chance of slipping is greater. If the chance of slipping is greater, your braking distance will also be longer.

The blind spot is the largest angle of a vehicle. This is referred to as Area 1.
Note: The blind spot can never be completely eliminated with your wing mirror. The taller you are, the larger the blind spot will be.

We see a traffic controller at the junction, so instructions from the traffic controller take priority. The traffic controller is now giving a stop signal for the traffic coming from the front (us) and the traffic from behind (the lorry). Therefore, the motorcycle may go first as it is not obstructed by the arm (stop signal) of the traffic controller.

If you look closely, you'll see that further on it becomes a compulsory cycle lane. A speed pedelec follows the rules of a moped and is therefore not allowed to ride there. So, you can definitely expect a speed pedelec on the carriageway here.

Large vehicles have a large turning circle. When making a turn, they can swing out and move into your lane. If you see a lorry that wants to make a turn or has already started, the safest thing to do is to stop in good time and give the lorry or bus the space to make the turn.

Crossing traffic, in other words, junctions, can absolutely not be expected on the motorway. So, the correct answer is: only on autowegen.

Tip: The motorway is a safe road; there are no oncoming vehicles and no busy junctions.

We are approaching an equal T-junction. The moped is coming from the left, so we do not give way to it.

A: Equal junction – the lorry comes from the left, so it goes last.

B: Equal junction – all drivers to your right go first!

C: On the same road, the rule applies: a short turn takes priority over a long turn. So, here you have priority.

D: You must give way here because the lorry has the short turn, and you have the long turn on the same road.

A: This indicates a no entry sign for all motor vehicles with more than two wheels.

B: No entry for motorcycles.

C: No entry for all motor vehicles with more than two wheels.

Pavement marking 1: This indicates that you are not allowed to park here, but you are allowed to stop briefly for loading, unloading, or for passengers to get in and out.

Pavement marking 2: This indicates a stopping prohibition. You are not allowed to stop here at all!

So the answer is that parking is not allowed alongside either pavement marking.

You must only give way in the situation where you see the face or the back of the pedestrian. So only in situation B.

In situation A, we see give way road markings, but these do not apply to the pedestrian. So, we do not let the ears go first.

In situation C, we are coming from an unpaved road and only give way to vehicles on the crossing road. We see the ears and do not let the pedestrian go first.

We see a pedestrian crossing, so the pedestrian goes first! After that, the tram goes before us, as a tram always has priority on the same road or at an equal junction.

We are approaching an equal junction. We go first, as we come from the right in relation to the moped. After that, the moped goes, as it comes from the right in relation to the motorbike. The motorbike goes last.

This is a priority junction, and we are on the priority road. But don’t forget: the lorry is on the same road as we are. We see the back of the pedestrian, while the lorry sees the pedestrian’s face. That’s why the pedestrian goes first. Then, the rule "short turn before long turn" applies: we go second, and the lorry goes last.

We are at a priority junction together with the motorcyclist, but the emergency vehicle is using visual and sound signals, so it goes first. After that, we go before the motorcyclist, as straight-on traffic has priority over turning traffic on the same road.

We are coming from an unpaved road. In that case, you must give way to all drivers on the intersecting road. Anyone with or on a horse is always considered a driver, so you must definitely give way to the rider here.

We are approaching an equal junction. We go first, as we come from the right in relation to the moped. After that, the moped goes, as it comes from the right in relation to the motorbike.

We are approaching a priority junction and see that we are approaching shark teeth. This means we must give way to the (priority) bend, the cyclist, and the lorry. Between the cyclist and the lorry, the lorry goes first, as it stays on the priority road while the cyclist leaves it.

We are at an equal junction. The tractor comes from the right, so it goes first. Between us and the cyclist, we go before the cyclist, as we are going straight on the same road.

This is a priority junction. We are approaching shark teeth, but that means our oncoming vehicle also has them. So, the cyclist goes first. After that, we go before the motorbike, as straight-on traffic always has priority over turning traffic on the same road.

We see that we are approaching shark teeth, but don't forget that the car (our oncoming vehicle) also has them! Don’t doubt because it has already moved a little. On the same road, straight-on traffic always has priority over turning traffic. So, we go before the turning car.

We see that we are approaching shark teeth. This means we must give way to all drivers on the intersecting road, so to the cyclist and the moped rider. We must also give way to the pedestrian, as we see their back.

We are approaching an equal junction. We come from the right in relation to the tractor, so the tractor must give way to us. We also see the ears of the pedestrian, which means the pedestrian will not go before us. So, we go first. After that, the pedestrian goes, as the tractor sees the face of the pedestrian and must wait.

We are at a priority junction. The lorry and we have priority over the tram and the motorbike. The lorry goes first, as it is going straight on the same road as us. The tram goes third, as a tram always has priority on the same road. The motorbike goes last.

The tractor is coming from an unpaved road and must give way to all drivers on the intersecting road. However, we are on the same road, and when turning, straight-on traffic has priority over turning traffic. So, we must definitely give way to the tractor here.

We are approaching shark teeth, so we must definitely give way to all drivers on the crossing road.

We are approaching a priority junction and see that we are approaching shark teeth. This means the motorbike also has shark teeth. So, both we and the motorbike must give way to the drivers on the intersecting road, in this case, the cyclist.
The cyclist goes first, as it sees the ears of the pedestrian. After that, the pedestrian goes, as we and the motorbike see the back or the face of the pedestrian. Then the motorbike goes, as when turning on the same road, the short turn has priority over the long turn.

This is an equal junction. The moped rider is coming from the left, so it will go last.

If you look closely, you’ll see that we are approaching the end of the priority road. This means it is no longer a priority junction, but an equal junction. The red car is coming from the right and therefore goes first.

This is a priority junction, and the rule is simple: all drivers to your left go last, and all drivers to your right go first. The car is coming from the left, so we do not have to give way.

We are all on the same road, so the tram goes first. After that, the cyclist goes before us, as the cyclist is going straight on the same road as us.
