QUIZ ANSWERS:

1.      Where would you find amber coloured cats eyes?
BETWEEN CARRIAGEWAY AND CENTRAL RESERVATION ON A MOTORWAY

2.      What is the maximum height vehicle that can pass under a 14’6” bridge?
14' 6" BETWEEN THE WHITE ARROWS IF AN ARCHED BRIDGE, OTHERWISE 14' 6".

3.      The maximum weight limit on Chelsea bridge is what?
2 TONNES (AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I WENT ACROSS YEARS AGO IN A 7.5 TONNER)

4.      Spaghetti junction is where?
NEAR BRIERLEY HILL, BIRMINGHAM
5.      What is the longest road bridge in the UK?
THE HUMBER BRIDGE

6.      A speed camera (GATSO) on a 70mph road will flash at what speed?
0 MPH. THE CAMERA DOESN’T MOVE!  ;D

7.      Who is legally responsible for the wearing of seatbelts in cars?
THE DRIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIRS AND ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 14

8.      You hit a dog whilst driving home. The dog is killed. Who must you tell?
THE POLICE

9.      You put diesel in your petrol car by mistake. What should you do?
NOT START THE ENGINE. IT CAN BE DRAINED OUT WITHOUT ANY REAL HARM. BUT ONCE YOU START THE ENGINE, IT BECOMES VERY EXPENSIVE

10.      In Wellington Arch, near Hyde park in London, is a police station. True or false?
TRUE, ALTHOUGH IT IS NO LONGER USED.

Dont agree with that one either.......adults have to wear seatbelts as passengers.....the driver in a private car can get fined if they dont.....

Sorry, MrMcB, Spaghetti Junction is nowhere near Brierley Hill.

My mistake on the Gravelly hill, that is what I meant! Sorry

As for the bridge, yes double deck busses are allowed across, but no other vehicles over two tonnes.

As for the seatbelts, I can 100% assure you that the driver is responsible for thei own seatbelt and anyone else under 14. The passenger is responsible dor theirs. this applies to private hire vehicles too.
