Learn how to safely share the road with cyclists, pedestrians, children, elderly people, and horse riders. Critical for your theory test.
Test your knowledge with independent Irish road-safety practice questions. Free to start, no account needed.
Start PractisingGive cyclists at least 1m in speed zones up to 50 km/h and at least 1.5m in zones over 50 km/h
Watch for children near schools, playgrounds, and ice cream vans
Elderly pedestrians may take longer to cross — be patient
Horse riders may signal you to slow down — comply
Check mirrors and blind spots before turning at junctions
At zebra crossings, stop if anyone is waiting to cross
Not knowing when the RSA advises 1m or 1.5m passing distance for cyclists
Forgetting that pedestrians on a zebra crossing always have priority
Not watching for children running out between parked cars
Ignoring horse riders' signals to slow down
RSA guidance: at least 1m up to 50 km/h and at least 1.5m over 50 km/h
Pedestrians killed in road accidents account for ~25% of fatalities
Children under 12 should ideally be supervised near roads
Guide dogs indicate a visually impaired pedestrian — give extra time
The RSA advises at least 1 metre in speed zones of 50 km/h or below and at least 1.5 metres in zones over 50 km/h. Only pass when the complete manoeuvre is safe.
Yes. If a pedestrian is at or approaching a zebra crossing with clear intent to cross, you must stop and let them cross safely.
Slow down, give plenty of room, and pass slowly and quietly. Do not sound your horn. Follow any signals from the horse rider.
Take a timed mock test with 40 questions from all categories — just like the real thing. 35/40 to pass. Can you do it?
