South Australia learner's theory test: practice questions

Try three questions

Three questions from the Australia (South Australia) bank, as you'll see them in the app.

1. The traffic lights at an intersection are not working. Which rule applies?

   1. The Give Way to the Right or the T-intersection rule
   2. Whoever arrives first may go ahead of the others
   3. Vehicles on the wider road go ahead of the others
   Show the answer

   Answer: The Give Way to the Right or the T-intersection rule

   When traffic lights are out, drivers fall back on the standard rules for intersections without signals. That means Give Way to the Right or the T-intersection rule, whichever suits the layout.

2. Traffic ahead is backed up beyond the intersection, so you cannot drive through into the road you want. What should you do?

   1. Enter and wait in the middle until traffic clears
   2. Wait before the intersection, and do not enter it yet
   3. Enter, then sound the horn at the cars ahead
   Show the answer

   Answer: Wait before the intersection, and do not enter it yet

   Entering an intersection without room to exit into your intended road is an offence. Hold back until the way through is clear.

3. May you overtake a moving tram on its right?

   1. Not unless a sign or marking permits it
   2. Yes, if the tram is moving slowly enough
   3. Yes, if you indicate right well before passing
   Show the answer

   Answer: Not unless a sign or marking permits it

   Passing a tram on the right is banned unless a traffic sign or marking says it is allowed. Tram lanes are in the middle of the road and are not for general use.
