You reach a junction with no signs and no road markings. A car is approaching at the same time from your right. How do you act?

I give right of way to the vehicle coming from the right.

I have right of way because I am going straight ahead.

Whoever reached the junction first goes first.

The larger vehicle always has right of way.

You want to enter a roundabout in which a car is already circulating. What applies?

The vehicle already in the roundabout has priority; I wait until there is a gap.

I have priority because I am entering from the right.

Whoever is faster enters the roundabout first.

Both must stop and communicate with each other.

You are entering a roundabout. When do you have to use your indicator?

Only when leaving the roundabout, indicating right.

When entering, indicating left, and when leaving, indicating right.

When entering, indicating right, and not at all when leaving.

Indicating is generally forbidden in a roundabout.

You want to turn left at a junction. A vehicle approaching from the opposite direction intends to continue straight ahead. Who has right of way?

The oncoming vehicle; I must wait until it has passed.

I do, because I started my turn first.

I do, since the oncoming vehicle can brake in time.

Whoever signals first has right of way.

You are driving out of a private car park onto the main road. How do you behave towards the moving traffic?

I must give way to all vehicles and pedestrians.

I have right-before-left priority over traffic from the right.

I have priority as soon as I have indicated.

The traffic on the main road must let me merge in.

At a junction a tram is approaching while you want to go straight and would normally have right-before-left priority. What applies?

The tram has priority; I let it pass.

My right-before-left priority also applies against the tram.

The tram must wait because it runs on rails.

Whoever reaches the junction first goes first.

What does this sign mean?

Slow down and stop only if there is traffic
Come to a complete stop and give way ✓
Priority over cross traffic
Start of a priority road

At a «Stop» sign you must always come to a full standstill and give way to traffic on the crossing road — even if it looks clear.

What does this sign mean?

Stopping is mandatory
You have priority
Give way, stop only if necessary ✓
No entry

«Give way» means you must yield priority but need not stop if the road is clear — unlike the Stop sign.

What does this sign mean?

You are on a priority road and have right of way ✓
You must give way
Parking allowed
End of all restrictions

The yellow «Priority road» sign means you have right of way over joining roads; the right-before-left rule no longer applies.

What does this sign mean?

Start of the priority road
End of the priority road — right-before-left applies again ✓
Dead end
No parking

The barred yellow diamond ends the priority road: from here the right-before-left rule applies again at junctions (unless otherwise signed).

Practice questions for exam prep — independently written, not a copy of the official question catalogue. The road signs are from the Swiss Signalisation Ordinance (SSV, an official work). Without guarantee; the SVG, VRV, VZV and SSV are authoritative.

Frequently asked questions

Are these the real theory-test questions?

No. They are independently written practice questions covering the same topics and rules as the official exam — but not a 1:1 copy of the copyrighted asa question catalogue. The road signs shown are the official signs from the Signalisation Ordinance (SSV) and therefore identical to those in the exam and on the road.

How many mistakes are allowed in the real exam?

The official car theory test (50 questions, 45 minutes) allows a maximum of 15 error points. Depending on severity a mistake counts 1 to 5 points. In our mock exam we weight questions by difficulty as an approximation.

Does this replace a learning app?

No — it's a free supplement for a quick self-test and sign training. For full preparation we also recommend an official learning app; you'll find an overview on our theory-test page.

Do I need an account or have to pay?

No. The quiz runs straight in your browser, without sign-up and completely free. No personal data is required; your best score is stored only locally in your browser.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The quiz is optimised for smartphone, tablet and desktop — perfect for practising a few questions and road signs on the go.

Are the road signs current and correct?

Yes. We use the official signs from the Signalisation Ordinance (SSV). Rules and explanations are based on the SVG, VRV and VZV (as of 2026). The official legal text always prevails.

Theory nailed? Time for the road.

Really understanding rules and signs pays off in the practical test. DriveLab connects you with vetted instructors in Zurich, Zug, Lucerne and Rapperswil — modern cars, transparent prices, flexible slots.
