Reaction time indicates the time between the moment when
📖 Explanation: Reaction time is the time between when you perceive a danger (e.g., a pedestrian crossing frequently) and when you start to react (e.g., by pressing the brake pedal). This time is usually about 1 second but can increase if you are tired, under alcohol, drugs, or are distracted. ⏳🚗 Answer A) You see the danger and you start to brake is correct, but the wording “start to brake” is not very natural. It would be better to say: ✅ “Reaction time is the time between when you see the danger and when you start to brake.” 💡 Tip: 👉 Remember: Reaction time = Perception ➡️ Action 👉 One second seems short, but at 50 km/h, you already travel ≈ 15 meters before you even start to brake! 😲 👉Avoid alcohol, fatigue and distractions (phone, intense conversation…) to maintain good reaction time. 🚫📵
Stopping distance indicates the distance traveled between the moment when
📖 Explanation: The stopping distance is the total distance traveled between the moment you see the danger 🚸 and the moment your vehicle comes to a complete stop 🚗🛑. It consists of two parts: 1️⃣ The reaction distance 🧠⏳: distance traveled during the reaction time (≈ 1 second on average). 2️⃣ The braking distance 🛑: distance traveled from the moment you start braking until you come to a complete stop. So, answer C) You see the danger and the vehicle stops ✅ is correct! 💡 Tip: 👉 Simple formula: Stopping distance = Reaction distance + Braking distance 👉 The higher the speed, the greater the stopping distance! 📏📈 👉 🚨 In rainy weather or on slippery roads, the braking distance doubles or even triples ❗⚠️
Level crossing. I can start.
📖 Explanation: A level crossing is a place where a road crosses a railway 🚦🚉. To cross safely, you must wait until: ✅ The barriers are completely raised 🚧⬆️ ✅ The red lights are off 🔴❌ ✅ No train is in sight 🚆👀 Answer C) As soon as the barriers are raised and the red lights are off is therefore correct ✅! ⚠️CAUTION! Even if the barriers are raised, always look both ways before crossing to avoid a technical problem or a second train arriving on another track. 🚦👀 💡 Tip: 👉 Flashing red lights? STOP 🚫! Even if the barrier is not yet closed, a train is coming. 👉Always look left and right before crossing. Trains can’t stop quickly! 🚆⚠️ 👉Never cross if you risk getting stuck on the tracks! 🛑 (Example: traffic jam just after the level crossing).
I can outrun these riders
📖 Explanation: Special passable sites are traffic lanes marked by a thick broken white line (like some bus lanes or cycle paths). They can only be crossed if doing so does not endanger other road users. 👉 When there are horse riders 🐎 on the road, you must be especially careful! 👉 Horses can be unpredictable and easily frightened by a vehicle passing too fast or too close. 🚗💨❌ 👉 Overtaking is not allowed if it involves driving on a special passable site. ✅ Answer A is correct! “Yes, it is forbidden to drive on the special passable site for overtaking.” 💡 Tip: 👉 If you see a horse 🐎 on the road, slow down and keep a good distance! 👉Never honk near a horse, it can scare it and cause an accident. 🚨😨 👉 Wait for a safe place to overtake, leaving enough space and especially your speed.
I yield the right of way to the pedestrian
📖 Explanation: Pedestrians do not have priority if there is no pedestrian crossing. The driver is not required to stop unless the pedestrian is already on the road and danger is imminent. 💡 Tip: 👉 If there is no pedestrian crossing, priority to vehicles 🚗! 👉 Stay alert, a pedestrian may cross recklessly! ⚠️🚶 👉In town, it is better to anticipate and slow down to avoid a surprise.
I want to continue straight ahead. I have priority over the blue car turning left.
📖 Explanation: A vehicle turning left must always give way to oncoming users continuing straight ahead 🚗➡️. 💡 Tip: 👉 If you are going straight ahead 🚗➡️ and another vehicle is turning left, you have priority. 👉 Don’t rely solely on priority, be careful and anticipate a possible refusal of priority ❗👀
This vehicle is
📖 Explanation: A license plate starting with “S” indicates a class A moped (max speed 25 km/h) 🛵. 💡 Tip: 👉 Class A moped = max 25 km/h 🔵 👉 Class B moped = max 45 km/h 🔴 👉 Motorcycle = more powerful, with a normal license plate 🚀
This signal prohibits me from overtaking a car
📖 Explanation: This round sign with two cars prohibits any overtaking of motor vehicles except motorcycles without a sidecar 🛑🚗. 💡 Tip: 👉 If you see this sign, no overtaking 🚗🚫 👉 Do not confuse it with the “end of overtaking” sign, which has the same shape but crossed out ❌
In this situation
📖 Explanation: On a narrow road, you can only pass a vehicle by using the shoulder or a side lane if possible. Otherwise, you must wait. 💡 Tip: 👉 On a narrow road, anticipate crossings 👀📏 👉 Don’t force your way through, priority depends on the space available 🚗🔄
The gray car starts up again. Can I follow it directly?

In this situation, I can let pedestrians cross
📖 Explanation: If the light is green for you 🚦✅, pedestrians should not cross. Stopping to let them cross would create a danger for vehicles behind. 💡 Tip: 👉 Green light = priority for vehicles 🚗 , unless a pedestrian is already crossing 👉 Never brake suddenly for a pedestrian if the light is green, risk of rear-end accident 🚗💥🚗
At this intersection, I can turn right
📖 Explanation: Traffic lights take precedence over signs. If the light is red 🔴, you cannot turn, even if a sign appears to authorize passage. 💡 Tip: 👉 Traffic lights > Signs > Priority to the right, always respect this order! 🔴🚦 👉 Even with a sign indicating a direction, the light decides 🚗
This road sign indicates a level crossing
📖 Explanation: This sign indicates a junction where priority to the right applies ❌🚦. A level crossing is indicated by another sign with a barrier or rails 🚉 . 💡 Tip: 👉 This sign = junction with priority to the right ⏩ 👉 Do not confuse with the level crossing sign, which has a drawing of a train or barriers 🚂
The driver of a moped must wear gloves
📖 Explanation: Wearing gloves is not mandatory for a moped driver 🛵. However, they are strongly recommended to protect your hands in the event of a fall. 💡 Tip: 👉 Even if it is not mandatory, it is better to wear gloves for your safety! 🧤 👉 In the event of an accident, your hands are often affected, so protect them! 🚨🖐
What is the minimum age for a passenger on a moped?
📖 Explanation: The passenger on a moped must be at least 3 years old 👶 and must be seated in a restraint system adapted to their age and size (e.g. a special child seat). The aim is to ensure maximum safety for the young passenger during the journey 🛵✅. ✅ Correct answer A: “3 years old, children must be at least 3 years old and transported in a suitable restraint system.” 💡 Tip: 👉Under 3 years old?

During a blood alcohol test, is a blood test mandatory if the result is positive?
📖 Explanation: If a blood alcohol test is positive, a blood test is not systematic. It only takes place if the person requests it as a counter-expertise 💉🚔. 💡 Tip: 👉 A breath test is sufficient to establish an offense 🚗🚨 👉 If you dispute the result, you can request a blood test (but be careful, this may confirm a higher value!)
Immediate withdrawal of a driving license is possible for what level of offense?
📖 Explanation: Immediate license suspension may apply for serious offenses (2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree), such as serious speeding, drunk driving, or failure to give way 🚔📄. 💡 Tip: 👉 The higher the offense, the harsher the penalties! 🚨 👉 Always respect speed limits and safety rules to avoid license suspension.
Should we already use the bus lane to turn right at the next intersection?
📖 Explanation: Bus lanes are reserved for public transport 🚌. You can only use them in the immediate vicinity of the intersection, not before! 💡 Tip: 👉 Always drive in the normal lane and only use the bus lane at the last minute if authorized! 🚗🚫🚌 👉Look at the signs, sometimes certain bus lanes are accessible to other vehicles (e.g. taxis, bicycles).
Give the correct order when changing direction
📖 Explanation: Before changing direction, you must first observe, then signal your intention, and finally slow down if necessary 🔄🚗. 💡 Tip: 👉 Rearview mirror > Indicator > Brake, remember this order! 🔍➡️🛑 👉 If you brake first, the vehicles behind may be surprised! 🚗💥
My reaction time will be longer when
📖 Explanation: Reaction time increases with fatigue, alcohol, drugs, and distractions 💤⚠️. Fog reduces visibility but does not lengthen reaction time. 💡 Tip: 👉 Tired? Take a break! 15 minutes of rest every 2 hours 🚗☕ 👉 Stay focused, a longer reaction time can be fatal! ⏳🚨
Accident without injuries. I must show my ID.
📖 Explanation: After an accident without injuries, all persons involved have the right to see your identity card and exchange information 📄🚗. 💡 Tip: 👉Never leave the scene without exchanging your information! 🚨📃 👉A well-completed accident report helps speed up compensation 📑✍️
In this situation
Explanation 👮♂️🚦: When I meet a police officer at an intersection, it is the position of his body that counts, not his arms. ➡️ If the officer is facing me from behind or facing me, it becomes a red light 🚦🛑. I must therefore stop. ➡️ If the officer is facing me from the side, it becomes a green light, and I can move forward 🚦✅. 👉 In the photo, the officer is facing me, so I must stop. Tip 💡👮♂️: ➡️ “Officer facing or facing back = STOP 🛑 / Officer in profile = GO ✅” Outstretched arms have no meaning in themselves. It is the position of the agent’s body that indicates whether to stop or move forward 🚗📍.
