Random 15 Questions

In an emergency on a wet road, keep both hands on the steering wheel and apply the brakes gradually to avoid skidding and maintain control of the vehicle. Sudden braking or accelerating can cause you to lose traction.

You’re looking at a Dual Carriageway Ahead road sign.

The Dual Carriageway Ahead road sign warns the driver that the road ahead is divided by a barrier, with traffic flowing in opposite directions.

The road sign shown indicates a Sharp Reverse Curve to Right.

A "Sharp Reverse Curve to Right" sign warns drivers of two sharp bends ahead-first to the right, then immediately to the left. Drivers should slow down and navigate carefully.

When you’re undergoing a practical driving course, you are typically required to display L plates (learner plates) on the vehicle. This alerts other road users that you are a learner driver and may need extra consideration. You should also always be accompanied by an instructor or a qualified supervising driver during the lessons.

You should keep well back when following a large vehicle because it allows the driver to see you in his mirrors. Large vehicles have significant blind spots, especially behind them. If you follow too closely, the driver may not be able to see you, increasing the risk of an accident. Keeping a safe distance ensures visibility and gives you more time to react if the large vehicle suddenly slows down or stops.

In Ghana, since vehicles drive on the right side of the road, overtaking is typically done in the left lane. The left lane is used for passing slower vehicles, while the right lane is reserved for regular traffic flow.

Driving on a wet road can significantly impact visibility due to the glare from reflected light on the water, making it harder to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and road markings, especially at night or in heavy rain, which can significantly reduce your ability to react to potential hazards.

Additionally, fog or mist may develop in wet conditions, further impairing visibility.

It’s important to drive cautiously and adjust speed when road conditions are wet to maintain control and visibility.

The risk of accidents is greatest in built-up areas, where there are more pedestrians, cyclists, intersections, and frequent stops, increasing the chances of collisions.

According to the Ghana Highway Code, Red means: "STOP. Wait behind the stop line on the carriageway."
Amber means: "STOP at the stop line." If you have already crossed the white line when the light turns amber, you should proceed with caution. If you have not crossed the white line yet, you must stop.

If the brake fluid level gets too low, it can affect the performance of the braking system, leading to brake failure or reduced braking efficiency. This significantly increases the risk of a crash, as you might not be able to stop the vehicle when needed.

While other fluids like antifreeze, radiator coolant, and battery water are important for engine function, they are less likely to directly cause a road crash if their levels get low, although engine overheating or electrical issues can still pose risks.

When descending a steep hill, you should use first gear to control your speed. First gear provides the maximum engine braking, helping you maintain control of your vehicle and preventing it from gaining too much speed. Using a higher gear or putting the car in neutral could cause the vehicle to pick up speed more quickly, making it harder to control. Always use a low gear when descending steep hills.

Driving with under-inflated tyres can affect fuel consumption. When tyres are under-inflated, they create more rolling resistance, which forces the engine to work harder, leading to higher fuel consumption.

The No Right Turn sign indicates that drivers are not permitted to make a right turn at the junction ahead. It is typically placed in locations where right turns may pose a safety risk or disrupt the smooth flow of traffic.

The correct answer is "Priority To Vehicle From Opposite Direction".

This sign means cars coming from the other side have the right to go first. You must wait until the road is clear before you move.

The correct answer is "No Through Road on Left".

This sign means the road on your left doesn’t go through. Only turn left if you really need to.
