Cant remember the questions but had to thank the website at the least.
Helped out a lot. Probably got made me a little nervous more than i needed to but i passed and thats all it counts. My Part A had hardly any of the statistics questions which i had remembered so i was a little stumped by that, obviously i did alright though.. Def harder than i thought.

1. SECTION 1:

Answer – the long term care of injured people (24%)

4. Percentage of Fatigue-related crashes on country roads?

Answer: >60km/hr distance. (This was easy…)
6. Blind spot is:
Answer: The area outside the car not covered by mirrors (common sense)
7. You need to go to page 70 of the handbook and study the two pictures to figure out what 3-second distance and 4-second distance looks like. I had an animation with 4-seconds
8. If you are driving in dark and foggy conditions, you should:
Answer: Travel four seconds or more
9. I had a diagram where you were driving behind a truck at night (broken lines and one lane), what would you do? and the options were:
a. Accelerate and driver closer, then drive slowly (i think)
b. Drive slowly only
c. Drive slowly and keep a fair distance from other vehicles
d. Drive normally. or keep same speed.(something like that)
Answer: I ended up choosing c. Correct me if im wrong
10. People who let their emotions dictate their driving are usually:
Answer: Young Males.
11. Crash research shows that drivers make a NEAR crash mistake every:

Answer: Slow down and drive more to left hand side
15. haha I wish i remembered the 15th question, but it was probably a silly one.
Q. A young male driver is likely to take risks when?
A. other young male passengers of the same age are present
SECTION 2:
I had two videos with two cyclists in front of me, never overtook.. roads too narrow
I touched the screen a few times for the right turn ones.
I remember the one in the rain, didnt turn right
Keep an eye whether its a 50km, 60km etc zone which will be stated in the questions. This will help determine whether to slow down.
Im usually a hazards freak, so I didnt worry about this.
Good Luck!! Hope this helps
1. I always read the whole book. However, sometimes they can have questions which really require you to remember little things. e.g
Question: Who invlove the most in alochol related crashes?
A, men
B, woman
C, men and woman
D, woman over 50
( This is NOT exactly how the question written) Anyway, the answer is A.
1. 2 years ago, i always had trouble with section 2, coz I had no idea how many times I should touch the screen and how soon I should touch. e.g When there was a massive truck in front of me, I would touch to slow down and it did not seem to slow down then i kept touching, then I ended up failing. Thanks for the comment in this site. I pretty much just kept what other people said in mind, and did what they suggested at the test. I passed. Thanks god. Thanks Michael, you save me keep paying $36 for rta.
I GOT THIS AS A PRACTICE QSTION SAME PROBLEM

Hey Guys

Just wanted to give a HUUUUGE thanks to EVERYONE who has posted tips and hints on this site.
I was packin it when i walked in to do my test as i couldnt download the DQT Handbook off the RTA website for some weirdo internet reason, and i refuse to buy a book, BUT i passed the DQT first go !!
All i did was read everyone’s comments on this discussion board the night before and refreshed in the morning, and i flew through the test !! Piece of piss !

There was one question that completely stumped me, it was asking what is the most common crash scenario in NSW? (some thing like that)
a) Head on collision
b) Rear end collision (running up someones butt)
c) Failure to give way (resulting in T-boning another car)
d) Running off the road going around a bend
I picked B.. Dont know if this is correct but i passed !! =)

Thanks again for your help !!

I went for the DQT today and passed on my first attempt. I was extremely nervous after reading many people failing the Hazard section of the test.

I read the whole Handbook about 3 times and the main points about 2-3 times until they stuck and i could literally recite each point. Maybe a little OCD but i didn’t want to take the risk on failing something where the answers are given to you.

On section 1 i actually don’t remember getting any statistic questions. E.g. the % or anything of the sort.
I got the child pedestrian one (common sense answer)
2 questions on the medication labels (answer is always to check with the doctor, again, common sense)
1 on BAC (safest is always going to be zero BAC or to not drive at all if you drink)
1 on 3 second rule
1 on a cause of a crash
1 on identifying a crash with graphs
and the others i don’t remember lol.

With the hazard test i got 2 on overtaking in which case i didn’t touch the screen like others have said.
I got 2 on slowing down. One in the school zone following the white car and the bus pulling out (i touched 3 times, 1 for entering school zone, 1 for car in front braking and 1 for bus indicating to get in front of you)
and the other was driving in a narrow street with shops (again i touched 3 times – may have been wrong but i passed :/ ).
The rest were right turn ones which are so obvious and in most cases you only touch once. I had 2 questions where it was unsafe to turn at all.

All in all i think it’s not THAT hard, the only part that will stuff you up is the hazard slowing down questions. Other than that, if you read the book ATLEAST 3 times you shouldn’t have any problems in the first section.

Be careful, as in real life being overly cautious isn’t going to hurt but when it comes to the test i think if you don’t touch at all for anything, you will still fail for not being confident enough e.g. not turning when it was clearly safe or something. But don’t touch the screen for the sake of touching it, especially for the slowing down ones. I have heard that people failed for slowing down too many times or at wrong times.

I think i’m just lucky i got 2 of the more basic slowing down questions and didn’t get the ones with crazy pedestrians left, right and centre lol.

Thanks for the people contributing to this site, it helped me prepare myself before going for the test.

Good luck all!
