Israel Driving Theory Test

Question:1

What is the purpose of the “hard shoulder” on freeways?

It is an escape place in case of danger.

It is a place to stop and talk on the cellular phone,

It is a place for parking and stopping for the purpose of driver refreshment.

Question:2

In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?

When driving on a sharp curve, it is required to stay in it as shortly as possible; hence his position is correct.

In sharp curves it is necessary to “cut” through the curve, in order to reduce the centrifugal force (the force that acts on the vehicle while it turns).

When there is no other vehicle in the curve it is possible to be positioned anywhere within it.

No, the truck driver is not keeping to the right of the road and his position presents a risk to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

Question:3

What should you do when your driving lane is blocked by the double-parked silver vehicle (marked with a circle)?

Signal with your headlight to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction and swerve quickly to the opposite lane, before it arrives

Stop behind the silver vehicle and wait for a policeman or an inspector.

Overtake the silver vehicle through the gap between it and the vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

Question:4

Accidents that are a result of driver fatigue might occur:

Question:5

How would you handle the following situation?

Category : Safety

Question:11

Continuous braking on a winding descent can cause:

Over heating and weaker braking than normal.

Over heating and stronger braking than normal.

Cooling of the breaks and weak braking.

Continuous braking has no negative affect.

Category : Safety

Question:12

According to the picture, what limitation is faced by the green (commercial) pick-up truck that wishes to turn right?

The motor scooter intends to drive straight; hence there is no danger in turning right.

The pick-up truck is permitted to turn right even though the motorcycle is on his right because the law does not forbid it

The driver of the pick-up truck should be careful, because there is another vehicle driving in a “blind spot” to his right.

The pick-up truck is statutory prohibited to turn right.

Category : Safety

Question:13

Which of the following sentences is correct as regards to other drivers?

You should assume that other drivers would always give you right of way.

Category : Safety

Question:14

How can a driver handle the many tasks he needs to perform when approaching an intersection?

Slow down before the intersection, look around, and avoid engaging in any activity other than driving.

Category : Safety

Question:15

How does the helmet’s visor affect driving in the dark?

It irritates the rider.

Driving a two-wheeler during dark without the helmet’ visor always improves your quality of vision.
