The answer options
- Consult a travel agent
- Use a route planner on the internetCorrect
- Check your vehicle handbook
- Ask your local garage
Why that is the answer
Using an internet route planner allows you to map out your journey efficiently before you set off. It provides up-to-date information on routes, roadworks, and estimated travel times, helping you plan necessary rest stops as advised by the Highway Code. Your vehicle handbook only contains information about operating and maintaining your car, while local garages and travel agents do not provide specific, real-time driving route information.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from safety and your vehicle 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.
