Questions (18)
1. If you are convicted of careless driving, you will get...?
- Your licence may be suspended for up to two years
- Can be fined up to $2,000 and sentenced to up to six months in jail
- All of these ✓
- Six demerit points
Answer: C. All of these
2. Road test failures may result from…?
- Unsafe actions
- Difficulty obeying traffic laws
- Any/all of these ✓
- Lack of skill and control
Answer: C. Any/all of these
Road test failures may result from any of these: unsafe actions, difficulty obeying traffic laws, or lack of skill and control. The handbook says a safe, responsible driver needs a mix of knowledge, skill and attitude, and must know the traffic laws that help traffic move safely. It also says that on a road test you must show the proper skills for operating a vehicle without relying on driving aids. A failure report points out where you need to improve. Since the test looks at safe actions, following traffic laws and vehicle control, a shortfall in any of these areas can lead to failure.
3. Drivers who do not buckle up can be fined and given…?
- One demerit point
- Two demerit points ✓
- Three demerit points
- Four demerit points
Answer: B. Two demerit points
Drivers who do not buckle up can be fined and receive two demerit points. The handbook says seatbelts must be used every time you travel in a vehicle equipped with them. It then states that a driver who does not buckle up faces a fine and two demerit points. That directly supports the answer: the demerit-point penalty for the driver's own failure to buckle up is two points. The passage also mentions penalties for failing to properly buckle passengers under 16, but the question is about drivers who do not buckle up themselves.
4. Fully licensed drivers - The Ministry of Transportation may suspend your license after a 9-points interview…?
- If you fail to attend an interview, or fail to give good reasons for keeping your license ✓
- If you do not have at least 5 years’ driving experience
- Under no circumstances
- If your license is not needed for business reasons
Answer: A. If you fail to attend an interview, or fail to give good reasons for keeping your license

- $120 and two demerit points
- 50
Answer: B. $1000 and three demerit points
6. How many demerit points will be recorded on your license for failing to stop for police?
- 7 ✓
- 5
- 6
- 3
Answer: A. 7
7. At 15 demerit points, your license will be suspended for 30 days. After the suspension, the number of points on your driver's record will be reduced to…?
- Seven ✓
- Two
- Three
- Five
Answer: A. Seven
After the 30-day suspension, your driver's record is reduced to seven demerit points. For a fully licensed driver, reaching 15 demerit points brings a 30-day suspension once you hand over your licence. The handbook then says the points on your record are cut to seven after that suspension. Extra points can still lift you back to the interview level. So the reset number is seven, not a lower figure. This passage is about fully licensed drivers; novice drivers have a different reset number.
8. The fine for not using a child car seat or booster seat as required by law is…?
- One demerit point
- Up to $1,000 plus two demerit points ✓
- Four demerit points
- Three demerit points
Answer: B. Up to $1,000 plus two demerit points
9. Fully licensed drivers - At 15 demerit points:
- Your licence will be suspended for 7 days
- Your licence will be suspended for 3 days
- Your licence will be suspended for 30 days ✓
- Your licence will be suspended for 1 day
Answer: C. Your licence will be suspended for 30 days
At 15 demerit points, a fully licensed driver’s licence will be suspended for 30 days. The handbook’s demerit-point section for fully licensed drivers says that after warning letters, reaching 15 points brings a 30-day licence suspension. The suspension runs from the date you hand your licence to the Ministry of Transportation. After that suspension, the points on your record are reduced to seven. The same section notes that if you reach 15 points again, the suspension is six months, so the 30-day suspension is the one tied to this first 15-point level.
10. What documents may a police officer require a motor vehicle owner to produce?
- Liability insurance card
- All of these documents ✓
- A valid driver's license
- Proof of motor vehicle ownership
Answer: B. All of these documents
All of these documents: a liability insurance card, a valid driver's licence and proof of motor vehicle ownership. The handbook says that when a police officer signals you to pull over, you must immediately hand over your driver's licence, your vehicle permit or a copy, and your insurance on request. A vehicle permit is the ownership document, and the insurance requirement is met by the liability insurance card. Because the officer can ask for each of these, no single item on its own is the full answer; the correct choice is the one that includes all of them.
