Question without image
This exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine concerns basic road safety during training drives. A learner behind the wheel is a participant in road traffic, so their actions affect other drivers and pedestrians just as much as those of an experienced driver. That is why the theoretical exam includes rules that define the responsibilities and duties of a person who is just learning to operate a vehicle.
The question tests knowledge of Section 24 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine, "Training Driving," specifically clause 24.3, which directly establishes the learner's obligation to know and follow the traffic rules. The option suggesting that a learner may not know the requirements of the traffic rules contradicts this provision and is dangerous in practice. The statement that training can begin before learning the rules for passing intersections is also incorrect: intersections, priority, traffic light signals, signs, and markings are key elements of real traffic, and they cannot be ignored during training.
The practical meaning of the rule is simple: during a training drive, all requirements must be observed, such as speed limits, passing intersections, yielding the right of way, stopping at a prohibitive signal, yielding to pedestrians, and following road markings. This not only helps to answer the theoretical exam correctly, but also forms the habit of driving safely and predictably from the very first lessons.
Clause 24.3 (Section 24 "Training Driving")
A person learning to drive a vehicle is required to know and comply with the requirements of these Rules.
Explanation of application: this clause directly establishes the obligation of the learner (the person learning to drive) to know and comply with the Traffic Rules during training driving.
That is, the correct answer is "Is required to know and comply with the requirements of the Traffic Rules," given that clause 24.3 of the Traffic Rules directly imposes on the person learning to drive a vehicle the obligation to know and comply with the requirements of these Rules.
When you are learning to drive a vehicle, you are a full participant in road traffic. Therefore, during training drives, your behavior on the road cannot be “simplified” or exempt from the general rules.
Section 24 of the Traffic Rules, which regulates driver training, directly states: a person learning to drive must know and comply with the current Rules. This means that even before entering the road, you should understand road signs, traffic light signals, and road markings, and while driving, you must follow requirements regarding speed, distance, intersection passage, lane changes, and other mandatory norms.
For example, if there is a speed limit or priority sign on a section, the learner cannot ignore these requirements by claiming they are just learning. Likewise, you must stop at a red traffic light, yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk, and comply with road markings, just like any other driver.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Must know and comply with the requirements of the Traffic Rules," since during training drives, the Traffic Rules explicitly require the learner to know and follow the rules in real road conditions.
