Tonga's Traffic (Driving Test) Regulations prescribe theoretical and practical tests conducted by an Examining Officer. The theory scope includes vehicle control, road rules, signs and signals. The statutory questionnaire is a scope source, while later legislation controls current legal rules. Our 60 English-language MCQs provide independent study practice for selected topics.

1On an ordinary two-way road in Tonga, which road position should a motorist normally use?
A.Keep as close as practicable to the left of the road
B.Keep to the right unless another vehicle approaches
C.Use the centre whenever there is no painted centre line
D.Keep left in towns but right on open roads
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 20(1) requires a motorist to keep as close as practicable to the left. Road width and roadside hazards affect what is practicable; the rule does not require driving onto an unsafe verge.
2You are parked beside a road in Tonga and want to rejoin moving traffic. What must you do before moving off?
A.Indicate and move out because the signal gives you priority
B.Check the road but signal only after entering the lane
C.Ensure the road is clear and signal your intention
D.Wait for a following driver to sound a horn, then move without checking
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 19(6) requires both a clear road and an indication before joining traffic. A signal informs other road users; it does not require them to make room for you.
3Unless an authorized person directs otherwise at a controlled intersection, on which side must a driver overtake a vehicle in Tonga?
A.On the left, between the vehicle and the verge
B.On either side if the vehicle ahead is moving slowly
C.On the right, or offside, of the vehicle
D.On the left if the overtaking driver sounds a horn
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 20(2) specifies passing on the right or offside. The driver must also comply with the separate visibility, clearance and intersection restrictions.
4Traffic Regulations 20(6)(a) prohibits overtaking at an intersection and within what distance BEFORE it?
A.30 feet
B.30 metres
C.100 feet
D.300 feet
Explanation: The regulation specifies 30 feet before an intersection, as well as the intersection itself. This approach restriction is separate from the longer clear-view requirement for overtaking.
5Two motor cars approach an intersection with no controlling sign or officer. Neither is turning. Which approaching car must you normally give way to?
A.A car approaching from your right
B.A car approaching from your left
C.Whichever car first flashes its headlights
D.Whichever car is travelling on the wider road
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 20(4)(a) requires giving way to a motor vehicle approaching from the right at an uncontrolled intersection. The regulation separately addresses turning vehicles and horse-drawn vehicles.
6A pedestrian is waiting to use a marked pedestrian crossing ahead. What response does Tonga's statutory driving-test questionnaire call for?
A.Keep moving until the pedestrian reaches your lane
B.Continue if the pedestrian has not yet stepped onto the road
C.Slow down and stop to let the pedestrian cross
D.Give a horn warning and retain priority
Explanation: The Second Schedule questionnaire calls for slowing down and stopping when a person is crossing or waiting to cross. Anticipating the crossing avoids forcing a pedestrian to step into moving traffic to obtain priority.
7A vehicle in front has stopped to give way to a pedestrian on a crossing. You cannot see the whole crossing. What should you do?
A.Pass slowly if your own lane looks clear
B.Pass after giving a brief horn warning
C.Remain behind the stopped vehicle and allow the crossing to clear
D.Pass if the pedestrian is still on the other half of the road
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 20(9) prohibits overtaking a vehicle giving way at a pedestrian crossing. The stopped vehicle may hide a person who is about to enter your path.
8You approach an uncontrolled intersection to turn right. There are two lanes in your direction, and an oncoming car will continue straight. Which plan follows Tonga's turning rules?
A.Use the left lane and turn ahead of the oncoming car
B.Cross the centre line on approach so the oncoming car can pass on your left
C.Use the right lane on your own side, give way, then enter the left side of the new road
D.Use the right lane and assume your indicator requires the oncoming car to stop
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 20(3) requires the right lane on a multi-lane approach while remaining on your own side. The turning driver must give way under 20(4), and 20(14) requires entering on the left of the new road's centre line.
9You miss a driveway just beyond a road junction. Which statement correctly applies Traffic Regulations 20(10) to reversing?
A.A short reverse through the junction is allowed if someone guides you
B.Hazard lights permit reversing through the junction if no vehicle is visible
C.Reversing is unrestricted below walking speed
D.Reversing must be limited to necessary distance and time, and must not take place at a road junction or round a corner
Explanation: The regulation limits both the distance and time spent reversing and separately prohibits reversing at junctions or round corners. A guide or warning lights do not create an exception to the location restriction.
10At an uncontrolled intersection, you are driving straight and a horse-drawn cart approaches from your left. Which rule applies?
A.The cart must yield because it approaches from your left
B.Only a cart approaching from your right has priority
C.You must give way to the horse-drawn vehicle approaching from either direction
D.Priority depends on whether the cart is carrying goods
Explanation: Traffic Regulations 20(4)(b) gives special treatment to a horse-drawn vehicle approaching an uncontrolled intersection from any direction. Applying only the usual give-way-to-the-right rule would miss this exception.
