KSA Driving Theory Practice

Cooperative Behaviour: Practice Questions

This topic is about sharing the road responsibly. It starts with the principles of driving safely, legally and with respect, meaning you drive only when fit and licensed, obey the law and lights, and respect the rights of others. Questions then cover pedestrians: use the sidewalk or walk facing traffic, cross quickly after judging vehicle speed, and follow pedestrian lights. Drivers must stop for pedestrians already crossing and when turning into a road with people crossing. Groups walking on public roads must wear reflective vests, and herds should cross in small guarded groups.
