Motorway Rules for the Theory Test

Revise lane discipline, signals, joining, breakdowns and safe spacing.

High-value motorway topics

  • Keep left unless overtaking or directed otherwise.
  • A red X means the lane is closed.
  • Traffic already on the motorway has priority over vehicles joining from a slip road.
  • Never reverse or make a U-turn because you missed an exit.
  • Emergency areas are for emergencies, not normal stops.
  • Increase following distance when visibility or grip is poor.
