It all comes down to insight in different situations, recognising a dangerous situation immediately, looking far ahead and taking the right decisions. The available information on this topic is mainly based on insight.
Every theory driving test contains 30 questions in this category. These questions involve the actual traffic rules, for instance the rules on giving way or the meaning of traffic signs.
Every theory driving test contains 10 questions in this category. A picture and a question are shown to you. You have to choose the right multiple choice answer. Here it comes down to your general insight in traffic situations and the risks that are involved.
