Theory test

The truck is about to turn right (as seen by the indicator and the fact that the truck is half-way in on the exit road). The car behind is too close, but not so close that it warrants braking since:

• The truck is just a moment from being completely on the exit road.
• The likelihood of the truck doing some unexpected and dangerous manoeuvre is not high.
• Braking increases the risk of someone crashing into the private car from behind.
• Braking can disrupt the rhythm of traffic, which is unnecessary if there is no good reason to do so.

It is best to be ready to act if something would happen.

“Being ready to act may, for example, mean that you ease off the accelerator, move your foot to the brake pedal and are ready to brake. In this way you can reduce your reaction time and can more easily manoeuvre to avert a hazard.” (Du och jag i trafiken, körkortsbok / teoribok [You and me in traffic], 28th Edition, page 169)

It is unclear that the truck’s right indicator is on!
– Good, that is intentional. There are indications that the Swedish Transport Agency uses unclear pictures on the test. The entire question can rest on a detail that is barely visible at first sight.

This is an example of one of the driving theory questions at Körtkortonline.se. There are three languages: English (free driving licence test), Swedish (free driving licence test) and Arabic (free driving licence test)

More examples of theory questions:

• The driver of the car in the centre of the picture has pulled over to the side of the road to answer their phone. Why is it prohibited here?
• The red car in the centre of the picture is turning directly into the right. What do you think about the positioning?
• What do the long lines in the centre of the road mean?
• What is the three-second rule?
• What is the greatest risk when you have driven onto this exit ramp?
• The picture is taken from your car. Should you think of anything in particular in this situation?
• You intend to continue on straight. How should you act in the situation in the picture?
• Which road sign takes priority?
• The car in the left lane is planning to turn off the motorway using the exit ramp to the right. Is the driver allowed to carry out this manoeuvre?
• The picture is taken from your car. You became stressed by the silver car and chose to move out onto the hard shoulder to make it easier for the silver car to overtake you. Was this allowed?
• You are driving the car behind the tractor. Should you take into account the possibility of the tractor turning off at A when you plan to overtake?
• Should you drive out on the hard shoulder in the situation in the picture to make it easier for the car behind to overtake?
• What type of turn needs to be made to be able to drive towards Herrängen?
• What do you think about the blue car’s positioning before the left turn?
• What should you think about if you are planning to turn right?
• Approximately how many wildlife accidents occur in Sweden each year?
• Which option is true for the situation in the picture?
• Does the sign on the right indicate something regarding the maximum permitted speed?
