Answer Keys
ROAD SAFETY WHILE DRIVING

A 36. When you're using high-beam lights, maintain a distance of at least 150
meters (500 ft) from any oncoming vehicle to avoid blinding the
oncoming driver. If you're within 60 to 90 meters (200-300 ft) from the
vehicle you are following, use low-beam lights. This is a good distance
to give you an ample stopping distance.

B 37. Many drivers and riders drive on sidewalks, bike lanes, unpaved roads
and so on, but everyone must know that this is actually illegal. These
sections of the road are reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.

C 38. Blowing your horn is always a safe way to approach and drive through
a curve, especially on a mountain where you do not have a clear sight
of oncoming vehicles.

C 39. Failure to turn your headlights on is against the law and worse, would
put you and other road users in danger.

C 40. Defensive driving is a set of driving skills that allows you to defend
yourself against possible collisions. If you look ahead and keep your
eyes moving, you can spot potential hazards caused by bad drivers,
drunk drivers, and poor weather more easily.

C 41. When driving through water or flood, start at a slow pace first, or
around 2-5 kph. Drive slow and steady, so as not to disturb the water
too much which might cause water to enter in the exhaust pipe.

A 42. When a vehicle is tailgating another vehicle, it's highly possible that he
wants to overtake. It is discouraged to overtake this vehicle to avoid
chances of an accident.

B 43. Blowing your horn constantly is against the traffic rules. Use it with
caution and only if necessary.

A 44. If driving with your headlights on, make sure to dim your headlights
when you're at least 150 meters (500 ft) from any oncoming vehicle. If
you're within 60 to 90 meters (200-300 ft), use low-beam lights.

A 45. Having vision of the wheels of the vehicle you're following is a good
indicator that you're not too close and has ample and safe stopping
distance.

ROAD SAFETY DURING EMERGENCIES

gently in the direction you want the vehicle to go to and be careful not
to step hard on the brake.

A 47. On the actual LTO exam reviewer, the answer is "a". However, in case

Test-Taking Tips
Review and take practice exams

This gives you a refresher on the principles of driving, and an idea of what
kinds of questions you are going to encounter on the real exam.
In this practice exam, you will have to answer 60 questions, which are alike
the questions you'll get on the Official LTO Written Test. Note that these are
just for practice purposes only.
On your actual exams, you will be met with questions similar to those you've
answered on this sample practice test.

Enroll in a driving school

It is very helpful to be part of intensive training first before you apply for a
driver’s license through organized driving lessons.

Legit and accredited driving schools would brief you with all the necessary
things you must know in driving, both theoretical and practical. There, you will
be schooled strategically to be able to take the exams, both written and
actual, with ease. Driving schools won’t allow you to finish your course, not
unless they are sure that you are equipped and ready to face the road.
To make sure that you are enrolled in a legitimate driving school, check it with
the LTO through their offices or their website.
