1You are being overtaken by a large truck that is taking a long time to complete the manoeuvre because of its length and load. What should you do?

A.Slow down slightly to help the truck complete the manoeuvre safely

B.Speed up so the truck can complete the overtake more quickly

C.Flash your headlights to warn the truck to abandon the overtake

D.Move onto the shoulder to let the truck pass more closely

Explanation: A long, heavy vehicle needs more time and road space to complete an overtake. Easing off your speed shortens the manoeuvre and gives the overtaking driver a safe margin to return to the left in good time.

2On a one-way street with more than one lane of traffic moving in the same direction, on which side may you overtake a slower vehicle?

A.Only on the left-hand side

B.Either the right-hand side or the left-hand side, whichever is safe

C.Only on the right-hand side

D.Overtaking is never permitted on a one-way street

Explanation: Because all traffic on a one-way street travels in the same direction, there is no oncoming traffic to consider. A vehicle may therefore be overtaken safely on either side, provided the manoeuvre can be completed safely and legally.

3What is the main purpose of the 'two-second rule' taught in the Road Code?

A.To measure how long it takes to reverse park

B.To time how long a traffic light stays amber

C.To help a driver judge a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front

D.To decide how long to signal before a turn

Explanation: The two-second rule gives drivers a simple way to check they are leaving enough space to stop safely: pick a fixed point the vehicle ahead passes, and count 'one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two' before you reach the same point.

4How should the normal two-second following gap be adjusted on a wet or slippery road?

A.It can be reduced to one second because wet roads have less dust

B.It should stay the same regardless of conditions

C.It only applies to the vehicle behind you, not the one you are following

D.It should be increased, for example to about four seconds

Explanation: Stopping distances increase considerably on wet or slippery surfaces, so the safe following gap must be increased, commonly doubled to around four seconds, to allow more time and distance to stop without a collision.

5As a basic rule for spacing in normal flowing traffic, how much space should be left between vehicles travelling nose-to-tail?

A.One vehicle length for every 10 mph of speed

B.A fixed 5 feet regardless of speed

C.Half a vehicle length regardless of speed

D.Two vehicle lengths for every 5 mph of speed

Explanation: The Road Code's basic spacing guideline links the gap to speed: allow one vehicle length for every 10 mph being travelled, increasing this in poor conditions using the two-second (or four-second) rule.

6At a four-way stop where several vehicles arrive at around the same time, who has priority to proceed?

A.The largest vehicle

B.The vehicle that arrived and stopped first

C.Whichever driver sounds their horn first

D.The vehicle turning left

Explanation: Cayman's four-way stops work on a first-come, first-served basis: whichever vehicle comes to a full stop first at the junction proceeds first, once it is safe to do so.

7As you approach a roundabout, which traffic normally has priority?

A.Traffic waiting to enter from the road opposite you

B.Whichever vehicle is travelling fastest

C.Traffic already on the roundabout, approaching from your right

D.Traffic approaching from your left

Explanation: Because vehicles drive on the left and roundabouts are worked in a clockwise direction, traffic already circulating on the roundabout approaches from your right and has priority; you give way to it before entering.

8Why is it generally unsafe to overtake as you approach the brow of a hill or a sharp bend?

A.Because the road surface is always poor at these locations

B.Because overtaking is only allowed on straight, flat roads by law

C.Because your indicator is less visible on a hill

D.Because you cannot see far enough ahead to be sure the way is clear

Explanation: A restricted view ahead, such as at the brow of a hill or on a bend, means you cannot be certain the road is clear of oncoming traffic or hazards, so an overtake started there is a blind, high-risk manoeuvre.

9A school bus ahead has stopped with its lights flashing to let children on or off. What must you do?

A.Not pass the bus from either direction until it moves off or the lights stop flashing

B.Pass carefully if there appears to be enough room

C.Pass only if you are travelling in the opposite direction

D.Sound your horn and pass immediately

Explanation: When a school bus is stopped with its lights flashing for children boarding or alighting, drivers approaching from either direction must not pass; children can be unpredictable near the roadway, so all traffic must wait.

10According to the Road Code, when a school bus is setting down or picking up passengers with lights flashing, what must other road users do?

A.Pass carefully if the opposite lane looks empty

B.Stop when the lights are flashing, remain stopped until they stop flashing, and watch for children from any direction

C.Continue if you are more than two car lengths away

D.Overtake only from behind at reduced speed

Explanation: Road Code Part 8: whenever a school bus is setting down or picking up passengers, all road users must stop when the lights are flashing (regardless of direction), remain halted until the lights are no longer flashing, and watch for children crossing from any direction.

Cayman DVDL ADI Part 1 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Treat Section B (signs, signals, markings) as pass/fail critical under the current DVDL web guide — aim for perfect scores there in practice.

2Memorise ADI logistics: 100 questions, one hour, CI$100 Part 1 fee, three parts within two years, and unlimited theory retakes.

3Drill instructional items: cockpit drill (doors–seat including head restraint–mirrors–seat belt–fuel), explaining consequences of excess speed, and safe dual-control intervention.

4Study the Road Code and Traffic Act at instructor depth — you must teach rules, not only recognise them.
