Car C
A traffic circle: the green car is already round on the west side and the orange car is entering from the south, while Car C waits on the north arm. You give way to traffic already on the circle and to traffic on your right, and both are ahead of it, so Car C goes last.
Car B
All four approaches carry a stop sign, so it is first to stop, first to go. The blue car on the north arm and the green car on the south arm are already at their lines while Car B is still short of its line on the east arm, so it stops last and moves off last.
Engage a lower gear
The sign shows a lorry on a steep downhill, so a steep descent is ahead. Engage a lower gear before you start down and let the engine hold the vehicle back. Riding the brakes the whole way overheats them and they fade just where you need them.
Switch on dipped headlights
Switch to dipped headlights. Full beam bounces off the mirrors of the vehicle in front and blinds its driver, so you dip as soon as you come up behind another vehicle. Side lights and spot lights do not light the road properly and are no substitute.
Under no circumstances
Under no circumstances. If the traffic beyond the intersection is not moving you hold back behind the line even on a green, because a vehicle standing across an intersection blocks every other direction and no robot can clear it.
Has same effect
The two have the same effect. Whether the transverse line at a pedestrian crossing is painted as a yield line or as a stop line, it marks where you wait, and you may not move until the people on the crossing are clear.
Car C
Car C sits in the far left lane, and that lane is painted with a bent arrow and the word ONLY, so a left turn is all it allows. Car C turns right out of it instead, across the lane beside it and across Car A's path. A lane marked ONLY may be used only for the movement painted in it.
A motor cycle
A motor cycle. The fire extinguisher requirement falls on motor vehicles, and a public service vehicle must carry one whether or not it has passengers in it that day, but a motor cycle is not caught by it.
6 breakdown triangles
Six. Each unit needs its own pair of triangles, and a drawing vehicle with two trailers behind it counts as three units, so three pairs, six triangles in all.
30 - 50 meters from the nearest point of the breakdown vehicle
Between 30 and 50 metres from the nearest point of the broken down vehicle. Closer than that and a driver coming up behind has no room to slow down; further and the warning no longer reads as belonging to your vehicle.
Twenty- five years
Twenty five is what this paper marks. A motor omnibus carries the public, so the law asks for more years behind the wheel. Since January 2025 it asks for thirty and five years of driving, so where thirty is offered, pick thirty. A bus licence is now one of the D codes.
Car C
The blue car on the north arm is turning right, so it gives way to everything crossing its path. The orange car coming north gives way to Car C, which is on its right. That leaves Car C free, and it moves first.
Stopping is prohibited
A black S in a red circle with a red bar through it is the no stopping sign. You may not stop on that length of road at all, not even for a moment to set someone down, which makes it stricter than a no parking sign.
Five vehicle lengths
Five vehicle lengths. The gap is one vehicle length for every 15 km/h, and 75 divided by 15 is five. It grows with speed because the faster you travel the further you cover while you are still reacting.
Car A
Two roads join into one. The orange car is coming down the left hand road and is on Car A's right where they meet, so Car A gives way and stops. The blue car is already away down the joined road and takes no part in it.
A motor cycle
A motor cycle. Every other motor vehicle must have a reverse gear; a motor cycle is light enough to be walked backwards, so it is the one that is excused.
Car B
The fork carries a give way sign on the island. Car B, the green car on the left hand road, is sitting in the half of that road kept for traffic leaving the junction, so it is on the wrong side of the road, facing whatever comes out.
A direction sign
A direction sign. It is the green board with route numbers and place names, R3 Chirundu straight on, R5 Mutare to the right and R5 Bulawayo to the left, telling you which way to go for each place.
Is for information
A green board listing Chirundu straight on, Mutare to the right and Bulawayo to the left. A sign like that only tells you where places are, so it is for information. It warns of no hazard and orders you to do nothing.
Report to police as soon as possible, or within 24 hours.
Report to the police as soon as possible, and in any event within 24 hours. It is the police who must be told, not a hospital, and 48 hours is already too late.
Weight restriction
The sign is a blue circle reading 10t, a mass in tonnes, so what it deals with is weight, not height and not speed. A blue circle commands rather than forbids: this section of road is set aside for vehicles over that mass. The sign that keeps heavier vehicles out has a red border.
Reduce speed
The red triangle with a car and skid marks under it warns of a slippery road ahead. Reduce speed before you reach it, then brake and steer gently and leave a bigger gap. The surface is only dangerous at the speed you carry into it.
Five
Five. A Zimbabwean driver's licence was issued in one of five classes, and this paper marks five. Since 2023 the new system names the same vehicles by codes instead, so a licence issued now says code B where an older one says class 4.
130 meters
The total is 130 metres. At 120 km/h you cover roughly 17 metres before you even begin to react, and the braking itself takes well over 100 more, so the whole distance runs far past what most drivers picture.
8.3 meters
The reaction distance is 8.3 metres. Reaction takes about half a second, and at 60 km/h you are travelling 16.7 metres every second, so that half second carries you 8.3 metres before the brakes have done anything at all.
