Class 4 knowledge test practice 2026: 45 free questions

A passenger who is late leans forward at this sign and tells you the cross street is clear.

Correct answer: Stop completely and satisfy yourself the way is clear before moving

The stop is a full stop every time, and the person who answers for the vehicle is the driver. A passenger sees one slice of the road from one seat and carries none of the liability. Taking their word for a gap hands your judgment to someone who is not looking where you have to look.

Your passenger is in and belted, and you are ready to pull away from the curb into moving traffic.

Correct answer: Signal, check the mirror and the blind spot, then wait for a gap you do not have to force

A vehicle leaving the curb gives way to traffic already in the lane, and a signal asks for a gap rather than creating one. The shoulder check matters most here, because a cyclist or a motorcycle can sit exactly where the mirror does not show them. Pulling away gently also keeps the people in the back settled in their seats.

You are turning right into the side street where the address is, and a marked bike lane runs along your right side.

Correct answer: Signal, look into the bike lane and over your shoulder, and let any rider going straight go first

The rider carrying straight on is staying on their own path, so cutting across it is your move to make safely. Riders sit in the space a mirror alone can miss, which is why the shoulder check comes before the wheel turns. A turn taken a second later is still a turn.

You are following the vehicle in front on a wet road with four passengers and their luggage aboard.

Correct answer: Leave more space than you would in an empty car, because the extra weight lengthens the stop

A loaded vehicle carries more energy at the same speed, so it needs more road to stop and it settles more slowly when you brake. Wet ground takes another slice out of the grip you have to work with. The gap is the part of that you control, so it grows when the load and the weather do.

You are in the left lane of a wide road and the address is coming up on the right in two blocks.

Correct answer: Move right early, one lane at a time, so the last move is not a rush

Late lane changes across several lanes are where drivers who are hunting for a building have their collisions. Moving over early turns one hard move into two easy ones and gives you time to look properly before each. It also lets you slow gently rather than braking hard the moment the door comes into view.

You stop on a busy street to set a passenger down. A painted bike lane runs between your vehicle and the curb.

Correct answer: Carry on to a spot where you can reach the curb without blocking the bike lane

A vehicle parked across a bike lane pushes riders out into the traffic lane you just left, and a door opening across it catches them with nowhere to go. The traffic side is no better, since it drops your passenger among moving vehicles. A stop a short walk away is the only choice that protects both of them.

You have stopped at the curb on a street cyclists use, and your passenger reaches for the door handle.

Correct answer: Check the mirror and look back over your shoulder, then tell them when it is clear

A door swung into the path of a rider leaves them a fraction of a second and almost nowhere to steer. The driver has the mirrors and the training, so the check belongs to the driver. Holding the doors until you have looked takes a moment and prevents a serious injury.

Late in a long shift you realise you cannot remember driving the last few blocks.

Correct answer: Stop driving and rest properly, because a gap like that means sleep already took you

Losing minutes you cannot account for is a sign that your brain has been switching off for seconds at a time. Air, caffeine and noise all wear off long before the tiredness underneath them does. The only thing that answers lost sleep is sleep, and a vehicle with passengers in it is the worst place to test that.

You are booking the road test for the British Columbia licence class that lets you carry passengers for hire.

Correct answer: The vehicle you take the road test in decides which one you are issued

The knowledge test is the same paper for everyone in that group, so it cannot be the thing that separates the two licences. What separates them is the size of vehicle you prove yourself in on the road test. Turning up in the wrong vehicle means passing for work other than the work you meant to do.

The engine dies with passengers aboard and you coast onto the shoulder of a busy highway.

Correct answer: Get as far off the road as you can, put the hazard lights on, and move everyone out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier

A stopped vehicle on a shoulder gets struck often enough that it is the worst place to sit and wait. Everyone leaves by the doors on the side away from the lanes, then moves well clear of the vehicle rather than standing beside it. Hazard lights buy you attention, which is not the same thing as protection.
