Couple of uncertain question for EXAM sur la ROUTE

[ludski]

im posting in english cause its alot faster. I speak french so if someone is interested in the question but is uncertain . Please say so..In addition please reply in french if you wish..thanks

1) Unless otherwise specified by the instructor or before a turn ,
Do you always ride in the middle lane? ( example there are 3 lanes).
( This goes for street ( max 50kn/hr) as well as highway (100km/hr) )

2) When you ride in the middle lane,
Do you always ride in the first 1/3 of the lane ?

3) When you ride in the lane and are about to come to a stop, you have to go back to the middle part of that lane.
Do you have to check your blindspot to move from the 1/3 left of the lane to the middle ?

4) When you come to a stop. When you STOP. You must check LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. When youre about to leave do you check LEFT , RIGHT , LEFT again ?

5) If you blocked by an obstacle ( ie BUSH lol..or Truck) after youve made your stop sign. Can you move slowly forward ? If YES , then you must recheck LEFT , RIGHT , LEFT before leaving ?

6) When you come to a STOP and you end up being 4 vehicles at the STOP ( highly unlikely) ..Tech youre suppose to give right of way to first vehicle. But say everyone at the same time. Then youre suppose to give the right of way to the person to your right ??

Basically im asking FAK !! Can you start doing hand motion and let everyone pass , even if its your turn ??

7) If merging on to the highway and the C*CK SUKERS dont want to let you in , youre merging lane is about to end.. WHAT THEN ? Emergency stop, force yourself onto the highway, speed up , slow down..

I know most questions can be in the book, but sh!t , the book theory is different than they way an evalutator will grade you.

Thanks ..

If people have more questions ,. please feel free to add...Ill be checking this ..and posting answers if I have

1) Don't worry about that, you should never ride where there are 3 lanes. On the highway, you will be asked to take the first exit to no time to go to the center lane.

2) Not quite sure. On the right lane, you ride on the left side. On the left lane, you ride on the right. On the center lane, i'm not quite sure but it shouldn't be applicable for the exam

3) Going from the left side of the lane to the right or vice-versa isn't a lane change so looking into the blind spot shouldn't be necessary. Do you not use the turn signal either when you stay within your lane.

4) You check L R L when you are ready to go. So you slow down, come to a full stop, L R L then accelerate.

5) Not sure, but when in doubt, I would re-check just to be safe, and that's applicable to real life as well. You will lose points for not checking, i don't think you can lose points for checking twice.

6) That depends. Priority is usually to those who go straight. If you turn left and someone is going straight, then you definitly need to yield.

7) i'm scared that you mentionned "emergency break" as an option. If you break abruptly in a lane where people are going 100-120km/h, you will cause an accident. Missing your exit or your freeway entrance is not an emergency. If you are going at the same speed as traffic, you should be ok. If it's not safe, well geez, keep going and exit the freeway.

You did not understand the question.. It was when you are entering the highway, not exiting.

You accelerate, if the other dont let you merge safely, you will have to adjust your speed and let him pass then merge. Do not stop because the guy behind you can hit you. Always adjust your speed, well before the end of the lane.

Yep, always in the center lane (when on a 3 lane road) and in the left tier of the lane. When on the highway, wait until he asks for it. Hell make you do a lane change to the center lane and back on the right lane to take the next exit.

I doubt it.

I only check Left, right, left when i was about to leave. When you think about it, it's the only time that it really counts! Do it while stopping if you want, he certainly won't take off points for that. But always check LRL when you're about to take off, even on a green light. And make ample, mouvements of the head so he can see it clearly.

Better ask the monitor for that one.

The priority is to the right. You can wave people to let them pass but i'd ask the evaluator about that one.

Slow down, and merge behind him. NEVER stop on a merge lane and don't bully your way in. At least, not during your exam !

I know most questions can be in the book, but *beep* , the book theory is different than they way an evalutator will grade you.

That is the biggest problem really. I made a very ordinary run (for my standard) and i made it with almost flying colors. Other did very good runs but got flunked because of some stupid detail (left blinker on ... didn't move head enough ...). This is something you just cannot control and being on the wrong side of someone's bad day is never good.

Here's a post i wrote a few days after i got mine. You might find it usefull!

I have my exam next week, I was also wondering


lets say you come to a red light behind a couple cars. When the light turns green and you start moving, do you have to do your left right left before starting even if you are behind a couple cars and not the first at the intersection?

No, they won't look for the LRL movement if you're not at an intersection. But it's a good idea to do a "minor" one when you do cross an intersection!

J'ai une question pour l'examen sur route. Disons que j'arrive a un stop, est-ce que tu dois aller sur la 1iere vitesse, parce tu pourrais facilement faire un stop complet LRL en 2ieme je trouve...

?? est-ce qu'ils regardent ca?

Ils ne peuvent pas savoir a quel rapport tu est et, a ma connaissance, ne compte pas le nombre de fois que tu étouffe. L'important est que tu fasse un stop complet avec le pied a terre.

Ceci étant dis, rester en 2e vitesse te donnera riens.
