Bahamas Highway Code Sample Test
Basic Rules and Advice for Drivers and Riders Driving Tests
What is this Bahamas Highway Code Sample Test?
Hey there, future Bahamian road warrior! Just a heads up about this theory test – all the questions you’re about to tackle are based on this below content. Yep, that’s right! We’ve pulled info straight from the Bahamas Highway Code and turned it into theory test format. So, if you’ve read through the previous section carefully, you’re already one step ahead. Think of it as a sneak peek into what you’ll be asked.
At its most basic, essentially driving means paying close attention and following some key rules to keep everyone safe on the road. For instance, before switching lanes, make sure to really look, use your mirrors well, and signal the right direction to let others know what you’re planning. If you’re coming up to a roundabout and you want to turn right, remember to let cars already on the roundabout go before you join in.
Now, if you see several cars lined up ahead at a traffic light or somewhere, it’s nice to join the line at the end instead of cutting in front. Also, make sure everyone in the car, especially young people under 16, is buckled up; because it’s your job as the driver. Driving is not only about manoeuvring a vehicle–but also making sure you and others are not in danger.
One may inform oneself in the knowledge that not keeping enough space to stop safely just in case the car ahead hits the brakes suddenly is a recipe for disaster. Also, trying to pass another car, without being sure if there’s enough room, or if you have the timing down, could end up forcing cars coming your direction to slow down or dodge out of the way, which is surprisingly dangerous.
It’s important to note that even when driving in well-lit city streets, it’s intelligent and informed to use dipped headlights to make sure you and others can see just fine. Since being behind the wheel can get tiring, it’s a good idea to take a short break every couple of hours.
Now about technology in the car – fiddling with your phone while driving? Absolutely not. It pulls your focus away from driving and hikes up the chance of an accident; then there’s securing young people in the car the right way to ensure they’re comfortable, safe, and sound while you’re driving.
For those on two wheels, like motorcyclists and cyclists, always remember: they’re not wrapped in a large amount of steel like cars, making them more exposed to injury if something goes wrong. In addition, it’s on you to make sure the coast is clear by using your mirrors before you even think of overtaking anyone. Last but surely not least, at a pedestrian crossing with signals, only go when the light’s green and after making sure all pedestrians have made it to the other side. Ensuring safety is focused on doing these things so everyone starts where they’re without a hitch.
