The answer options
- Bus lane not in operation
- Bus lane only in operation in daylight
- Bun lane only in operation at peak times
- Bus lane in operation 24/7Correct
Why that is the answer
When a bus lane sign shows no specific times or days of operation, the bus lane is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Drivers often mistakenly assume that no times mean the lane is out of use or only restricted during peak traffic hours, but this is incorrect. Under Highway Code rules, you must not drive in a bus lane while it is operational, so you must keep clear at all times.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from attitude 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.
