Introduction

This video provides a theory test revision covering basic motorway rules. It focuses on joining and leaving a motorway, maintaining a safe speed, recognizing road markings (reflective studs), using hazard lights appropriately, and reacting to fatigue.

Key Takeaways

• Joining a Motorway: Use the slip road to build up speed to at least 70 mph, give way to existing traffic, and stay in the left lane unless overtaking.
• Maintaining Speed: A consistent speed improves journey time and fuel efficiency, but excessively high speeds increase the risk of breakdowns. Regular vehicle checks are advised before long journeys.
• Driver Fatigue: If tired, exit at the next junction and find a safe place to rest or stop at the nearest motorway services. Never continue driving when fatigued.
• Reflective Studs: Red studs mark the carriageway edge; white studs separate lanes; amber studs mark the central reservation; green studs mark slip road entrances/exits.
• Hazard Lights: Use hazard lights when braking suddenly due to a hazard to warn drivers behind you. Hazard lights from cars ahead indicate slowing or stopping traffic.
• Exiting a Motorway: Position in the left lane, signal when passing blue marker signs (at 300, 200, and 100 yards from the exit), and never reverse or turn around on a motorway if you miss your exit.
