The answer options
- Make sure to stay close to the vehicle ahead.
- Take further driver training.Correct
- Remain in the left lane on all roads.
- Always maintain a speed below 40mph.
Why that is the answer
Newly qualified drivers are at a higher risk of being involved in a collision due to a lack of experience. Taking further training, such as the Pass Plus scheme, helps you gain valuable experience in challenging conditions like motorway or night driving. Staying close to the vehicle ahead is dangerous tailgating, while driving excessively slowly can frustrate other drivers and create unnecessary hazards on the road.
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.
