Manitoba Class 3 Drivers Licence Practice Test

How can a driver anticipate a change in traffic signals when approaching an intersection?

1. By maintaining a high speed

2. By looking well ahead for traffic control signal lights, lane use and turn signals

3. By only focusing on the vehicle ahead

4. By listening to traffic updates on the radio

The correct answer is: By looking well ahead for traffic control signal lights, lane use and turn signals

A. Maintaining a high speed can actually be dangerous for both the driver and other vehicles, as it can make it difficult to stop for a sudden change in traffic signals. C. By only focusing on the vehicle ahead, the driver may miss important visual cues and signals from the traffic light. D. While listening to traffic updates on the radio can be helpful, it may not provide real-time information about the traffic signals at the specific intersection the driver is approaching, making it less reliable than visually checking for signals. Therefore, the best way for a driver to anticipate a change in traffic signals is by looking well ahead for traffic control signal lights, lane use, and turn signals. This allows the driver to have enough time to adjust their speed and lane position accordingly.
