Do you know which are the 10 questions that Spaniards fail the most on the driving test? Here we have the compilation of the ones that register the most erroneous answers.
The theoretical exam is the first major test before obtaining a driver’s license. The DGT pays special attention to both theory and practice and will not let any aspiring driver get behind the wheel of a car without having duly passed both exams.
Many of the answers to the DGT theorist are quite easy to guess and consist of questions about the most common speed limits, signage or road safety. However, other driving license theory are more complex and, in some cases, lead to error, which can cause a fail and you have to face the test again.
The 10 questions that Spaniards fail the most in the driving test
1- This sign…
A. indicates a path reserved exclusively for cycles.
B. indicates an avenue reserved for pedestrians and cycles.
C. prohibits bicycles from driving on the road.
The correct answer is B, since the sign indicates the existence of a path for pedestrians and cycles, segregated from motorized traffic, and which runs through open spaces, parks, gardens or forests. The most common mistake in this question to obtain a driver’s license is to think that it is a sign that indicates an exclusive lane for cycles, which is round and with a blue background.
2- The load that protrudes from the front of the vehicle must be marked…
A. with a white reflective white light, at night or in conditions that significantly reduce visibility.
B. with a white light, both day and night.
C. with a white light, at night or in conditions that significantly reduce visibility.
The correct answer is C, since in goods transport vehicles it is necessary to signalize if it is daylight the load that comes out with 1 or 2 panels of red and white reflective stripes and, in front, it is not necessary. But, if it is at night or with poor visibility, you must also signal the front with a white light and the rear with a red light.
3- How should you drive on an ascending slope with snow?
A. With a low gear ratio.
B. With a gear ratio as high as possible.
C. Slowly and holding the vehicle.
The correct answer is B, since in snow you must drive slowly, increase the safety distance, use the highest possible gear ratio on uphill slopes and have tires and brakes in good condition.
4- If you are in possession of a class A1 permit, one and a half years old, and obtain a B permit, what is the maximum rate of alcohol allowed while driving your car?
A. 0.15 grams per liter in blood.
B. 0.30 grams per liter of blood.
C. 0.50 grams per liter in blood.
The correct answer is B, since the blood alcohol level for drivers during the two years after obtaining the first driving license is 0.3 g/l in blood and 0.15 mg/l in exhaled air.
5- What is the penalty for using a mobile phone while holding a hand while at a red light?
A. Loss of 6 points and 500 euros.
B. Loss of 6 points and 200 euros.

6- Can the personal mobility vehicle have a seat?
A. No because it would no longer be considered a personal mobility vehicle.
B. Yes.
C. Yes, if it is equipped with a self-balancing system.

7- Which of these reasons can be the most frequent cause of an accident?
A. The poor state of the address.

8- In this situation, can you drive in the center lane?
A. No, you must ride in the right lane.
B. Yes, because the road is not saturated.
C. Yes, if the movement of other vehicles behind is not hindered.

9- What is the maximum speed allowed for a car on an urban road with a single roadway and sidewalk platform?
A. 45 km/h.
B. 50 km/h.
C. 20 km/h.
The correct answer is C, since 30 km/h is on roads with a single lane in each direction of traffic and 50 km/h for roads with two or more lanes in each direction of traffic.
