The answer options
- Your journey will be longer
- Your journey will be more stressful
- There will be traffic congestion
- Your journey will be easierCorrect
Why that is the answer
Planning your journey to avoid peak travel times allows you to bypass heavy traffic congestion and unexpected delays. Driving on quieter roads means fewer stops, reduced stress, and lower fuel consumption, making your trip much easier and safer. DVSA guidance encourages drivers to plan ahead, as a smooth, uninterrupted journey improves concentration and keeps you relaxed behind the wheel.
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.
