When must the distance to the vehicle in front be increased?

Understanding when to increase the distance to the vehicle in front is an important part of preparing for the driving test. Safe following distances are essential to avoid accidents, especially in situations where the risk level is elevated.
For instance, if the driver ahead is behaving unpredictably, you should anticipate sudden braking. Additionally, the faster you are driving, the more space you need to maintain — a principle often emphasized during the driving test.

When should you avoid overtaking?

Overtaking other vehicles is a common situation in road traffic. When preparing for the driving test, you’ll encounter several questions on this topic. In some situations, you should definitely avoid overtaking — for example, when the vehicle in front is already travelling at the maximum permitted speed and you’d have to exceed that speed to pass, or if you’re about to make a turn, as overtaking would be pointless in that case. The same principle applies in heavy traffic queues, where overtaking doesn’t achieve much and only involves unnecessary risks.

Does the blind person have the right of way here?

Blind people always have the right of way, even outside pedestrian crossings, if they signal with their white cane that they wish to cross the road. Anyone preparing for the Driving test should definitely learn how to behave correctly towards other road users, especially when dealing with children, elderly people, or, as in this example, visually impaired individuals. In our e.driver learning program, there is even a dedicated chapter covering other road users and the proper way to interact with them.

How do you use the navigation system correctly?

Modern navigation systems are a technological innovation that makes driving in unfamiliar areas much easier. There’s no need to ask for directions or carry bulky maps. However, you shouldn’t rely on them blindly, as some information might be outdated or incorrect. Also, they should only be used if they don’t distract you from driving.
If you’re preparing for your driving test, you also want to reach your destination quickly and safely – the proven e.driver learning program by e-university can help you with that.

Is it allowed to drive too slowly?

Everyone knows you must not drive too fast. But can driving too slowly also put others at risk? Yes, it can – for example, by provoking risky overtaking manoeuvres. Don’t worry: if you’ve just obtained your licence or are doing practice drives after passing your Driving test, you shouldn’t let yourself be pressured. In such cases, it’s better to drive a little too slowly than too fast.

What is the correct behaviour in this situation?

Let’s assume you are driving behind a tram that comes to a stop. What should you do? You must come to a complete stop to allow passengers to safely get on or off. Be sure to keep a minimum distance of 2 meters behind the tram. Once the tram moves on and there are no more pedestrians on the road, you may continue driving. Trams are a common means of transport in many Swiss cities. When preparing for the Driving test, it’s important to know how to behave correctly in such traffic situations.
