Where is this the most likely? DVSA-style practice question · Safety and your Vehicle ## The answer options - On your driveway - Next to a parking meter - In a marked space - In front of a property entrance**Correct** ## Why that is the answer Parking in front of a property entrance blocks access for vehicles and pedestrians trying to enter or leave the premises, creating a serious obstruction. The Highway Code states you must not park where you would prevent access for others. Conversely, parking on a driveway, next to a meter, or within marked bays uses designated parking locations, so these options are designed to avoid causing an obstruction to other road users. ## 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.
