Practice questions with answers

Sample question 1Road signs
StopSTOP

At an empty intersection in Fredericton, this sign faces your lane. What must happen before you proceed?

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and then yield as needed

This sign requires a full stop even when the junction looks empty. Then check for people and traffic before proceeding.

Sample question 2Rules of the road

At an unsigned intersection in Fredericton, you and a car on your right arrive together. Who should enter first?

Correct answer: The car on your right

When two vehicles enter an unsigned intersection at about the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Here you are on the left, so let that car go before entering.

Sample question 3Rules of the road

You are turning right from a Saint John street with no marked turn lane. Where should you position the car?

Correct answer: As close as practicable to the right edge

The Act places a right turn close to the right curb or edge when there is no right-turn lane. That path keeps the turn predictable for traffic beside and behind you.

Sample question 4Rules of the road

A normal town street in New Brunswick has no speed sign and is not a local highway as defined in the Highway Act. What default maximum applies?

Correct answer: 50 km/h

The Act sets a 50 km/h default on other highways within a local authority when no maximum-speed sign is posted. A posted limit or a special zone can change that maximum.

Sample question 5Rules of the road

You overtake a cyclist near Shediac on a road with space to pass. What clearance does New Brunswick law require?

Correct answer: A safe pass with at least one metre between car and bicycle

New Brunswick requires at least one metre when passing a bicycle. Wait for room to make that clearance safely instead of squeezing past.

Sample question 6Rules of the road

You find an empty place in front of a private driveway in Fredericton. May you stop and park across its entrance?

Correct answer: No, the driveway entrance must stay clear

The Act bars stopping, standing or parking in front of a public or private driveway. An empty driveway still needs a clear entrance.

Sample question 7Rules of the road

A school bus on an undivided road near Oromocto stops with red lights flashing. You are approaching from the opposite direction. What must you do?

Correct answer: Stop at least five metres from the bus

Drivers meeting or overtaking a stopped school bus with flashing red lights must stop at least five metres away. Wait until the bus moves again or the red lights stop flashing.

Sample question 8Rules of the road

A Class 7 Level 1 driver in Fredericton still has alcohol in their bloodstream after dinner. May they drive now with their supervisor?

Correct answer: No, Level 1 requires zero blood alcohol while driving

New Brunswick applies zero blood alcohol tolerance throughout graduated licensing. Feeling capable and having a supervisor do not remove that condition.

Sample question 9Rules of the road

A new Class 7 Level 1 driver in New Brunswick did not take recognized driver training. When is the earliest they can take the road test to enter Level 2?

Correct answer: After twelve months

Without recognized driver training, Level 1 has a minimum twelve-month hold before the road test. The shorter eight-month route depends on completing the approved course.

Sample question 10Rules of the road

An ambulance with flashing red light and siren approaches behind you in a Fredericton intersection. Where should you stop?

Correct answer: Clear the intersection, pull close to the right edge and stop

The Act requires drivers to yield and stop near the right edge clear of an intersection. Stopping in the junction can block the emergency vehicle’s route.
