The theory exam changes subtly every year. The rules remain largely the same, but the questions, images, and pitfalls become increasingly sophisticated. Many candidates fail not because they don’t know the rules, but because they misinterpret a sign or situation.
That’s why practicing CBR theory exam questions is essential. It’s not just about memorizing rules, but understanding when and how to apply them in real exam scenarios.
In this blog, you’ll find five realistic questions you could encounter in 2026. Each question includes answer options and a clear explanation, so you not only learn the correct answer but also how to recognize similar traps during the exam.
1. To whom does this sign apply?
A. Bicycles
B. Bicycles and mopeds
C. Bicycles and non-motorized disabled vehicles
This traffic sign indicates a mandatory cycle path. Many candidates incorrectly assume mopeds are included, but that is only the case when a combined bicycle/moped symbol is shown.
A mandatory cycle path applies to:
- Cyclists
- Drivers of non-motorized disabled vehicles
Correct answer: C
Exam tip:
If the sign only shows a bicycle, mopeds are not allowed. Always focus on the symbols, not the surrounding context.
2. The total width of your vehicle is 1.70 meters. Which lane are you allowed to drive in?
A. Lane 1
B. Lanes 2 and 3
C. Lanes 1, 2 and 3
Lane 1 has a restriction: vehicles wider than 2 meters are not allowed. Since your vehicle is 1.70 meters wide, this restriction does not apply to you.
There are no restrictions for lanes 2 and 3.
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
You are allowed to use all lanes because your vehicle does not exceed the maximum width indicated.
3. What kind of lighting is this?

A. Fog light
B. Rear fog light
C. Reversing light
At the rear of a vehicle, lighting colors are strictly regulated. White light at the back of a vehicle is only used for reversing.
- Fog lights are at the front
- Rear fog lights are always red
- Reversing lights are white
Correct answer: C
Exam tip:
If you see white light at the rear, it is always a reversing light.
4. Does this indicate a closed lane?
A. Yes
B. No
A white arrow on a matrix sign is a warning. It indicates that the lane will end ahead or that you should change lanes.
A lane is only officially closed when a red cross is displayed.
Correct answer: B (No)
Explanation:
A white arrow does not mean the lane is closed yet—it only warns you to prepare to move.
5. What rules apply in an erf?
More than one answer may be correct.
A. Parking is only allowed in designated parking spaces
B. The speed limit is 15 km/h
C. You may use the entire width of the roadway
Correct answers: A and B
Explanation:
- A is correct: Parking is only allowed in marked spaces.
- B is correct: The maximum speed is walking pace (15 km/h).
- C is incorrect: Drivers must keep to the right. Only pedestrians may use the full width of the road.
