FTT chapter guide
FTT rules of the road explained
40 FTT practice questions in this chapter · unofficial practice, not the official question bank
By the Final Theory Test you are expected to apply the rules in traffic, not just recite them. The FTT questions in this chapter lean towards judgement: how to signal and position at a roundabout, when it is safe to move back in after overtaking and what to do if the other vehicle speeds up, how to pass road works, fixed obstacles and groups of cyclists, and how to use a lane shared by straight-ahead and right-turning traffic.
The chapter also covers what happens after something goes wrong: the right steps after a minor collision with no injuries, and when you may move your vehicle after an accident in which someone is hurt. Speed limits and junction priority from the BTT come back too, so it doubles as revision.
Sample questions, explained
12 of the 40 questions in this chapter, with the reasoning behind each answer.
-
1. You are turning right from a main road into a two-way side road. Which part of the side road should you turn into?
- AThe extreme right lane
- BThe middle of the road, straddling the centre line
- CThe lane just to the left of the centre line (correct answer)
- DThe lane closest to the right-hand kerb
Why: When turning right into a two-way road, enter the lane just left of its centre line. Into a one-way street, you would take the extreme right lane instead.
-
2. You have a minor collision with no one injured. What is the correct course of action?
- AMove the cars safely to the side, exchange particulars, and report to your insurer within 24 hours or by the next working day (correct answer)
- BLeave the cars where they are and call the police immediately
- CDrive off if the damage looks minor
- DWait in the traffic lane for a tow truck to arrive
Why: When there are no injuries, the police need not be called. Move the vehicles out of traffic, exchange details, take photos, and report the accident to your insurer within 24 hours or by the next working day, even if there is no visible damage.
-
3. You park facing uphill next to a kerb. Which way should you turn your front wheels?
- AStraight ahead
- BOutward, away from the kerb (correct answer)
- CInward, towards the kerb
- DIt makes no difference
Why: With the wheels turned outward, the kerb will stop the car if it starts to slide back down the slope. Pull the handbrake up fully and leave the car in first gear as well.
-
4. Your traffic light is green, but traffic beyond the junction is at a standstill. There is no yellow box. What should you do?
- AGo ahead and wait in the junction until traffic moves
- BWait behind the stop line until there is space for you to clear the junction (correct answer)
- CGo ahead, because only yellow box junctions have this rule
- DSwitch to another lane and enter the junction
Why: Never drive into a junction when the road ahead is congested, even if the light is green and there is no yellow box. You would block cross traffic when the lights change.
-
5. On a road with groups of cyclists, each of more than five riders, how should you overtake them?
- APass the whole line of groups in one go
- BSound your horn so they move into single file
- CFollow the last group closely until the road widens
- DOvertake one group at a time when safe, moving into the space between groups (correct answer)
Why: Travel in the gap between cycling groups and overtake only when it is safe to do so. Watch for cyclists who slow down.
-
6. Unless a sign shows otherwise, what is the speed limit on Singapore roads, including roads in private estates?
- A40 km/h
- B50 km/h (correct answer)
- C60 km/h
- D70 km/h
Why: The default limit is 50 km/h. Roads with a different limit are signposted, and you must also keep to your vehicle's own speed limit if it is lower.
-
7. Since 1 January 2026, when does the 40 km/h speed limit in an Enhanced School Zone apply?
- AOnly during school arrival and dismissal times
- BOnly on school days
- CThroughout the day, including weekends and public holidays (correct answer)
- DOnly when the warning lights are flashing
Why: LTA extended the 40 km/h limit in Enhanced School Zones to apply all day, every day, instead of only during set school periods. This removes any doubt about when the limit is in force.
-
8. What speed limits apply in Silver Zones, the areas designed to protect elderly pedestrians?
- AA reduced limit of 30 or 40 km/h, as posted (correct answer)
- BThe normal 50 km/h limit
- C20 km/h at all times
- D60 km/h, but only outside peak hours
Why: Silver Zones have reduced limits of either 30 or 40 km/h, shown on signs and painted on the road at the zone's entrance. Look out for elderly pedestrians who may need longer to cross.
-
9. You are driving straight across a junction with no traffic lights and no give-way or stop sign. Who must you give way to?
- ANo one, because you are going straight
- BTraffic going straight ahead from your right (correct answer)
- CTraffic going straight ahead from your left
- DOnly vehicles larger than yours
Why: At an uncontrolled junction, a driver going straight gives way to traffic going straight from the right. If you are turning right, you must give way to even more traffic, including straight-ahead traffic from every direction.
-
10. When you approach a roundabout, which traffic normally has priority?
- ATraffic entering from your left
- BWhoever reaches the roundabout first
- CTraffic coming from your right (correct answer)
- DTraffic leaving at the next exit
Why: Slow down and give way to traffic on your right unless road markings say otherwise. Don't enter if you can see your exit is blocked.
-
11. The light turns from green to amber as you approach the stop line. What does the amber light require?
- AStop, unless you are so close to the line that you cannot stop safely (correct answer)
- BSpeed up to clear the junction before the red
- CContinue, because amber still allows you to go
- DStop immediately however close you are, even if it means braking sharply in the junction
Why: Amber means stop. The only exception is when you are already so close to the stop line that stopping would be unsafe. Accelerating to beat the red risks a red-light offence and a collision.
-
12. Overtaking is normally done on the right. In which situation may you overtake on the left?
- AWhenever the left lane is empty
- BOn a dual carriageway when you are in a hurry
- CWhen the vehicle in front is travelling below the speed limit
- DWhen the driver in front has signalled to turn right (correct answer)
Why: Passing on the left is allowed in a few cases, such as when the vehicle ahead is turning right, when you are turning left at a junction, in slow queues where the lanes on your right are slower, and on one-way streets. A dual carriageway does not count as a one-way street for this purpose.
