Myanmar Practical Driving Test (RTAD)

Which group of vehicle systems does the RTAD Driver Guide tell a qualified driver to check every day?

• AEngine, steering, lights, brakes, body, and tyres
• BSteering, lights, brakes, and tyres only
• CEngine and transmission only
• DBody and tyres only

A pre-drive tyre check finds a bulge in one sidewall. What is the safest decision?

• AUse the vehicle only at low testing-ground speed
• BReduce the tyre pressure until the bulge becomes smaller
• CDo not use the vehicle until the tyre is inspected and replaced if necessary
• DMove the tyre to a rear wheel and continue the test

During a stationary pre-drive brake check, which pedal response most strongly suggests a hydraulic fault?

• AThe pedal becomes firm and holds its height
• BThe pedal slowly sinks while steady pressure is maintained
• CThe pedal returns when the driver's foot is removed
• DThe brake lamps illuminate when the pedal is pressed

A red engine-oil-pressure warning lamp stays on after the engine starts. What is the safest response?

• ABegin the test and recheck it after parking
• BRaise engine speed until the lamp goes out
• CSwitch off the engine and have the fault checked before driving
• DDrive only in first gear to reduce oil demand

What does a charging-system warning lamp that remains on while the engine is running usually indicate?

• AThe battery is fully charged
• BThe alternator or its drive system is not charging normally
• CThe starter motor is still turning the engine
• DThe parking brake is engaged

An amber ABS warning lamp remains on after the normal start-up check. What should the driver understand?

• AThe anti-lock function may be unavailable even though ordinary braking may remain
• BThe parking brake has applied automatically
• CThe tyres have reached the RTAD tread limit
• DThe engine oil pressure is low

Why should mirrors be adjusted only after the driver's seat is in the final driving position?

• AThe view through each mirror changes when the driver's eye position changes
• BMirror coverage is fixed by the glass and never changes with seating position
• CThe seat should be adjusted after the mirrors to test both positions
• DOnly the interior mirror is affected by seat position

What is the safest basic head-restraint position for the driver?

• ALow enough for the head to pass over it
• BWith its top roughly level with the top of the head and close behind it
• CRemoved to increase the view through the rear window
• DAngled far back so it cannot touch the head

Before starting the engine, which control check best prevents an unintended vehicle movement?

• AConfirm the parking brake is applied and select Neutral, or Park in an automatic
• BSelect first gear and release the parking brake
• CHold the accelerator down before checking the gear
• DSelect reverse so the vehicle cannot move forward

Immediately before moving away from a stationary position, what observation sequence gives the best information?

• ACheck the relevant mirrors and blind area, then move only when the path is clear
• BCheck the forward view only because mirrors were set earlier
• CSignal first and move immediately because the signal creates priority
• DLook only at the examiner for permission to move

During a slow testing-ground maneuver, the driver loses sight of a boundary and is unsure of the remaining clearance. What is the safest immediate action?

• AContinue at the same speed and rely on memory
• BAccelerate so the vehicle spends less time near the boundary
• CStop under control, secure the vehicle if needed, and reassess the path
• DTurn to full steering lock before checking again

What observation approach is appropriate before and during reversing?

• AUse only the interior mirror
• BCombine mirrors, direct checks, and repeated scans for people and moving vehicles
• CUse only the reversing camera because it has a wide lens
• DComplete all observation before moving and never check again

A reversing camera shows an apparently clear path, but a side mirror shows a pedestrian approaching the rear corner. What should the driver do?

• AContinue because the camera view has priority
• BStop and wait until the pedestrian is clear, then repeat the observations
• CTurn more sharply to move away without stopping
• DWatch the camera and ask the pedestrian to pass behind

Why is it usually better to make large steering changes while the vehicle is creeping rather than completely stationary?

• ACreeping reduces tyre scrub and steering load while preserving low-speed control
• BStationary steering always breaks the steering mechanism immediately
• CCreeping increases tyre scrub compared with stationary steering
• DSteering should be delayed until the vehicle reaches normal road speed

In a manual vehicle, what combination normally produces a smooth move-off on level ground?

• ARelease the clutch suddenly with no accelerator input
• BRaise the clutch progressively to engagement while using suitable gentle accelerator input
• CHold the clutch fully down and increase engine speed
• DSelect a high gear so less clutch movement is required

A manual vehicle stalls during a low-speed maneuver. What is the safest recovery?

• ARestart immediately without checking the gear or surroundings
• BSecure the vehicle, select Neutral, restart safely, observe again, and resume when clear
• CLet the vehicle roll while selecting another gear
• DRelease the parking brake before restarting

Which braking method normally gives the smoothest controlled stop?

• ADelay braking, then apply maximum pressure at the end
• BBuild brake pressure progressively and ease it slightly as the vehicle settles to a stop
• CUse the parking brake as the main service brake
• DSelect reverse while still moving forward

Why should a driver avoid coasting downhill in Neutral or with the clutch held down?

• AIt removes engine braking and increases reliance on the service brakes
• BIt permanently locks the steering on every vehicle
• CIt makes the speedometer read zero
• DIt automatically applies the parking brake

What is the safer transmission choice before descending a steep grade?

• ANeutral, to reduce engine noise
• BA suitable low gear that provides engine braking
• CThe highest available gear regardless of speed
• DReverse, to oppose forward motion

Why is the parking brake useful while preparing to move off uphill in a manual vehicle?

• AIt holds the vehicle while the driver coordinates clutch and accelerator input
• BIt provides extra engine power to the driven wheels
• CIt replaces the need to observe behind the vehicle
• DIt selects first gear automatically

What is the essential final position in a marked parking bay?

• AThe vehicle is wholly within the bay with safe clearance on both sides
• BOne wheel remains on a boundary line to show its position
• CThe front projects into the access aisle for visibility
• DThe vehicle is diagonal so the driver can leave quickly

A driver sees that a reverse park will finish too close to a boundary. Which response demonstrates the safest judgment?

• AContinue and hope the final steering input creates enough space
• BStop before contact, observe all around, and make a controlled correction if permitted
• CIncrease speed so the correction requires less time
• DWatch only the closest mirror and ignore the opposite side

While reversing into a parking space, a pedestrian walks toward the vehicle's path. What should the driver do?

• AStop and remain stopped until the pedestrian has cleared
• BContinue slowly because pedestrians can hear the engine
• CTurn away while continuing to reverse
• DUse the horn and continue if the pedestrian looks up

After parking an automatic vehicle, which sequence best prevents it from rolling?

• AKeep Drive selected and switch off the engine
• BHold the service brake, apply the parking brake, select Park, then verify the vehicle is…
• CSelect Neutral and rely on level ground
• DSelect Park while the vehicle is still moving

During a reverse turn, the rear is clearing an obstacle but the front corner is moving toward another one. What principle explains this?

• AThe front of the vehicle can swing outward opposite the rear's turning path
• BThe rear wheels steer independently from the front wheels
• CThe vehicle becomes narrower while reversing
• DThe mirrors change the physical path of the front wheels

Why is a fixed steering reference point copied from another car unreliable for parking?

• AReference points vary with vehicle dimensions, seat position, mirror setup, and the drive…
• BReference points are universal for vehicles with the same transmission type
• CA reference remains accurate after the seat or mirrors are repositioned
• DWheelbase and overhang do not affect the steering point

A brake-fluid reservoir is below its minimum mark. Why is simply topping it up without investigation unsafe?

• ALow fluid may indicate a leak or excessive brake wear that still requires repair
• BNew fluid always makes the brake pedal too firm
• CAdding fluid disables the anti-lock system
• DThe reservoir level has no relationship to braking

The engine is hot and the cooling system may be pressurized. What is the safe way to respond before checking coolant?

• AOpen the pressure cap immediately through a thick cloth
• BLet the engine cool and follow the vehicle manufacturer's safe checking procedure
• CLoosen the cap while the engine is revving
• DAdd cold water through the pressure cap while the system is boiling
