    I got asked a bundle yesterday - couple of tricky ones!

    Who can legally stop on in a car?
    Ans - Guards, Lolipop lady & ANIMAL HANDLER

    How can you tell if your Tyre Thread is low..

    Copied & pasted a bit of info below..

    yre care is important, To help you to figure out if you are close to this value, most Tyres have what is called a tread wear indicators or (TWI). If you look at the tyre tread carefully on some tyres, at every quarter segment on the tyre you’ll see a bar of rubber which goes across the tyre and isn’t part of the regular tread .This is the tread wear indicator. It’s really basic, but it’s also pretty foolproof. The tread wear indicator is moulded into the rubber at a depth of about 2 milimetres normally. As the rubber in your tyres wears away due to everyday use, the tread wears down. At some point, the tyre tread will become flush with the tread wear indicator (which is normally recessed into the tread). At this point you know you have about 2 milmetres of tread left –

    Show me how you would check the parking brake (handbrake) for excessive wear, make sure you keep safe control of the vehicle.

    A4) Apply footbrake firmly. Demonstrate by applying parking brake (handbrake) so that when it is fully applied it secures itself, and is not at the end of the working travel.

    TIP- Keep the button pressed in when aplying the handbrake so that you do not hear the ratchet noise.

    Know what to do if you're dazzled from the front or rear by headlights.

    Know which areas you shouldn't park.

    Know your hand signals.

    Study over the section in the Rules of the Road regarding road markings. i.e. You could be asked which road markings would accompany a No Entry sign.

    Where would you see flashing red lights. - that's one pupils rarely get right.

    Good luck

    Testing myself here for the heck of it:

    If dazzled - slow down, stop if necessary.

    shouldn't park - near corners, intersections, double lines on the side of the road.. uhm.. and some more places.

    hand signals - basically the same you'd use on a bike (or even in the army), raised hand "stopping", arm left "turning left", arm right (out of window) "turning right"

    I would guess hard single line or double line - not sure about that road marking actually.

    flashing red lights - IIRC at train crossing when a train is on the way. Definitely not in any normal situation in traffic as I've never actually seen them I think.
