1You are approaching an uncontrolled crossroad (no signs, lines or traffic lights). A vehicle is approaching from your right. What must you do?
A.Continue through if you are travelling faster
B.Sound your horn and proceed
C.Give way to the vehicle on your right
D.Flash your headlights and continue
Explanation: At an uncontrolled crossroad in Queensland, you must give way to all vehicles approaching from your right. This rule applies whether the other vehicle is going straight, turning left or turning right. Failure to give way at a crossroad can result in 3 demerit points and a fine.
2You are driving on a road that ends at a T-intersection. What must you do?
A.Give way to vehicles on your left only
B.Give way to all vehicles on the continuing road
C.Have right of way over all other vehicles
D.Give way only to vehicles turning right
Explanation: If you are on the road that ends at a T-intersection, you must give way to all vehicles travelling on the continuing road — except those doing a U-turn. This rule applies regardless of whether there is a give way sign present.
3You want to turn right at an uncontrolled crossroad. Which vehicles must you give way to?
A.Only vehicles approaching from the opposite direction
B.Only vehicles on your right
C.Vehicles from your right AND oncoming vehicles going straight or turning left
D.You do not need to give way when turning right at an uncontrolled crossroad
Explanation: When turning right at an uncontrolled crossroad in Queensland, you must give way to vehicles from your right (standard crossroad rule) AND to all oncoming vehicles travelling straight through or turning left. Turning right across the path of oncoming traffic always requires giving way.
4You are entering a roundabout. Which vehicles must you give way to?
A.Vehicles on your right inside the roundabout only
B.All vehicles already on the roundabout
C.Vehicles about to enter the roundabout from your right
D.No vehicles — once you reach the roundabout you have right of way
Explanation: In Queensland, when entering a roundabout you must give way to all vehicles already on the roundabout. Approach the roundabout slowly, give way to circulating traffic, and only enter when there is a safe gap. Indicate left when exiting the roundabout.
5A bus displays a 'Give Way' sign on its back right-hand side and is indicating to enter traffic from a bus stop. The speed limit is 60 km/h. What must you do?
A.Give way to the bus only if the speed limit is under 50 km/h
B.Give way to the bus because the speed limit is 70 km/h or less
C.Proceed past the bus — it must wait for a gap in traffic
D.Flash your lights to tell the bus driver to wait
Explanation: In Queensland, when you are driving in a built-up area where the speed limit is 70 km/h or less, you must give way to a bus displaying a Give Way sign that is signalling to enter traffic from a bus stop or roadside. A 60 km/h limit is within that threshold, so you must yield.
6You are turning left using a slip lane. Who must you give way to?
A.No one — the slip lane gives you right of way
B.Only vehicles already on the road you are entering
C.All traffic already on the road you are entering, and any pedestrians or cyclists on or entering the slip lane
D.Only pedestrians crossing the slip lane
Explanation: When using a slip lane in Queensland, you must give way to all traffic already on the road you are joining (except vehicles doing a U-turn), and also to any pedestrians and cyclists on or entering the slip lane. A slip lane does not grant right of way.
7You face a give way sign at an intersection. The vehicle opposite you faces a stop sign and is turning right across your path. What must you do?
A.Proceed — the stop sign means the other vehicle must wait for you
B.Give way to the other vehicle because you have the give way sign
C.Both vehicles have equal priority so whoever arrives first goes first
D.Sound your horn and go through slowly
Explanation: In Queensland, a stop sign and a give way sign are treated as equivalent when two vehicles face them at the same intersection. You must both give way to through traffic first. After that, because you have a give way sign and the other vehicle is crossing your path from opposite, you give way — a stop sign is not more powerful than a give way sign.
8You are turning right at an intersection. A cyclist is crossing the road you are turning into. What must you do?
A.Proceed — cyclists must give way to turning vehicles
B.Give way to the cyclist
C.Sound your horn to warn the cyclist and proceed
D.Only give way if there is a pedestrian crossing marked on the road
Explanation: In Queensland, when you are turning at an intersection (left or right) you must give way to any pedestrian or bicycle rider on or entering the road you are turning into. This applies even at signalised intersections where you have a green light and the cyclist is crossing on a pedestrian walk signal.
9You are exiting a driveway onto a road. Which road users must you give way to?
A.Only vehicles on the road — not pedestrians on the footpath
B.Only pedestrians — vehicles have to slow for you
C.All vehicles on the road AND pedestrians and cyclists on the footpath
D.No one if you are reversing out of the driveway
Explanation: When entering or leaving a road from a driveway or private property in Queensland, you must give way to pedestrians and cyclists on the footpath or road, and to all vehicles on the road. These rules apply whether you are driving forward or reversing.
10You want to pull out from a parked position on the side of the road. Before moving off, how long must you signal?
A.At least 2 seconds
B.At least 3 seconds
C.At least 5 seconds
D.No signal is needed if the road is clear
Explanation: In Queensland, you must signal for at least 5 seconds before moving off from a parked position on the side of the road or a median strip. You must also give way to all other road users and stop signalling once you have completed the manoeuvre. This applies to all vehicles including buses.

About the Queensland Road Rules Knowledge Test Exam

The Queensland Road Rules (Knowledge) Test — commonly called the DKT — is the written test required to obtain a Class C (car) learner licence in Queensland. Administered by Transport and Main Roads at licensing Customer Service Centres, the test has 30 multiple-choice questions split into two mandatory sections: 10 give-way questions and 20 general road-rules questions. A strong emphasis on give-way rules means 10 of the 30 questions test intersections, roundabouts, T-junctions and bus priority. All content is drawn from the official handbook 'Your Keys to Driving in Queensland'. Alternatively, learners can complete the equivalent PrepL online course (also 30 questions, 90% pass mark) instead of sitting the written test at a centre.

Queensland Road Rules Knowledge Test Study Tips from Top Performers

1Focus on give-way rules first — 10 of the 30 test questions cover intersections, roundabouts, T-junctions and bus priority, and you must score 9/10 to pass that section
2Learn the two default speed limits by heart: 50 km/h in built-up areas and 100 km/h on open roads — getting these wrong is a common mistake
3Read 'Your Keys to Driving in Queensland' cover to cover — every real test question is drawn from this official TMR handbook
4Memorise BAC limits: 0.00% for learners, P1 and P2 drivers; 0.05% for open licence holders — examiners test this in the road-rules section
5Practise the give-way scenarios with diagrams: know who gives way when turning right, at T-intersections, roundabouts, and when a bus displays its Give Way sign

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the Queensland DKT (Class C car)?

The Queensland Road Rules Knowledge Test for a Class C car licence has 30 multiple-choice questions. The questions are split into two sections: 10 give-way questions and 20 general road-rules questions. You must pass both sections. This practice set has 100 questions to give you thorough preparation across all topics.

What score do I need to pass the Queensland DKT?

You must correctly answer at least 9 out of 10 give-way questions AND at least 18 out of 20 road-rules questions. This equals a 90% pass mark in each section. Failing either section means the whole test is a fail, even if you score well in the other section.

How much does the Queensland DKT cost?

The written Road Rules Knowledge Test costs AUD $29.70 per attempt. If you fail, you must wait until the next working day to resit and pay the $29.70 fee again. Alternatively, you can complete the online PrepL course, which is equivalent to the knowledge test and also has 30 questions at a 90% pass mark.

What is the give-way rule at an uncontrolled crossroad in Queensland?

At an uncontrolled crossroad (no signs, lines or traffic lights), you must give way to all vehicles approaching from your right. If you want to turn right at such a crossroad, you must also give way to oncoming vehicles travelling straight ahead or turning left. T-intersection rule: if your road ends, give way to all vehicles on the continuing road.

What are the BAC (blood alcohol concentration) limits in Queensland?

Learner licence holders, P1 (red P-plate) and P2 (green P-plate) drivers must have a BAC of exactly 0.00% — zero alcohol. Open licence holders must have a BAC below 0.05%. Exceeding these limits is a criminal offence that results in court appearance and can lead to disqualification, fines or imprisonment.

What are the default speed limits in Queensland?

Queensland has two default speed limits that apply when no speed sign is posted: 50 km/h in built-up urban areas and 100 km/h on rural roads and highways. School zones have a 40 km/h limit during school hours (7–9 am and 2–4 pm on school days). Speed limits are maximum limits — you must also drive at a safe speed for conditions.

How old must I be to sit the Queensland DKT?

You must be at least 16 years old to sit the Road Rules Knowledge Test and apply for a Queensland learner licence. After getting your learner licence you must hold it for at least 12 months and log at least 100 hours of supervised driving (including 10 hours at night) before you can progress to a P1 licence.
