The answer options
- You're approaching roadworks
- You're approaching a traffic danger spot
- You're approaching an organised walkCorrect
- You're approaching a slow-moving vehicle
Why that is the answer
This indicates you are approaching an organised walk on the road. The Highway Code states that organised groups walking at night should have lookouts. The leader at the front should display a white light, while the person at the back must carry a red light and wear reflective clothing to alert traffic behind them. Roadworks or slow-moving vehicles would normally be marked with amber flashing lights or specific warning signs instead.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from vulnerable road users appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
