LTO Exam Reviewer 2026 (Update) - Non-PRO - ENGLISH

Main ideas & concepts covered

The subtitles present a rapid-fire LTO (Land Transportation Office) driving exam review focused on:

• Traffic control signals (colors and meanings), including steady vs flashing lights
• Road markings (solid/dashed lines, “no passing” zones, lane/arrows)
• Signs (blue vs yellow/triangular warning vs “do not enter,” yield/stop, etc.)
• Right-of-way rules at controlled and uncontrolled intersections (stop/yield/no control) and for vehicles vs pedestrians
• Railroad crossing, horn, and emergency vehicle rules
• Lane changes, turning, and passing rules (including when not to pass)
• Speed limits and safe speed principles, especially night driving and adverse conditions
• Defensive driving and fatigue management (drowsiness, habits to prevent distraction)
• Traffic behavior (tailgaters, blocked intersections, throwing objects from vehicles)
• Pedestrian rules (school crossings, turning drivers)
• Vehicle/stopping/parking basics (what counts as parked; parking and downhill/upgrade rules; where you may not park)
• Licensing and enforcement concepts (inspection purpose, professional vs non-pro license, suspension meaning, settling apprehended licenses, lending licenses)

Methodology / “instruction” style rules explicitly stated (grouped)

Traffic lights & signals

• Steady green light: you may go (safe to proceed).
• Flashing yellow at a road crossing: caution—slow down and proceed with caution.
• Flashing red (approaching): come to a full stop and proceed when it is safe to do so.
• Traffic light colors question: correct answer given as A (red, green, yellow).

Hand signals (left/right/slow/stop)

• Slow down and stop: left arm held down, hand pointing at ground.
• Right turn hand signal: left arm bent at elbow, hand pointing up.
• If the driver ahead extends left arm straight out: likely turn left at the next intersection.

Railroad crossing

• When approaching with an active warning device:
  • Stop not less than 1.5 meters from the nearest rail.

Horn use

• Sound horn as a safety warning (not school/hospital zones per the given choices).

Stop signs / Yield signs

• Stop sign at an intersection: stop and proceed when safe.
• Yield sign: slow down then enter the intersection when the way is clear.

“Do not enter” sign

• Classified as a regulatory sign.

Right-of-way rules (intersections, pedestrians, and general vehicle yield)

Rotundas / roundabouts

• Vehicles with right-of-way: vehicles within the rotunda.

Uncontrolled intersections (no stop/yield)

1. Two cars approach at right angles:
   • Driver who gets there last must yield.
2. Opposite directions; one turning left and one turning right:
   • Left-turning driver must yield.
3. Two cars reach the intersection at the same time:
   • Right-of-way is the car on the right.
4. Two cars approach from different streets:
   • Right-of-way is the vehicle already in the intersection.
5. Red signal but left-turner already in the intersection waiting:
   • The driver caught in the intersection waiting to turn left should go first.

Pedestrians

• School crossing with pedestrians present: you must stop and not proceed until all persons are completely clear off the crossing.
• Turning at an intersection: yes—drivers turning right or left must give way to pedestrians.
• Yield requirement mentioned:
  • Yield to pedestrians (general rule stated: driver must yield to pedestrian).

When making a left turn (give way to oncoming traffic)

• When about to make a left turn/run, give right-of-way to cars from the opposite direction:
  • Until at least two cars have passed, per the correct option shown.

Highway yield examples

• Driver required to yield to:
  • Pedestrians (stated as the correct choice in that question).

Uphill/grade meeting (two-lane restriction case)

• On an upgrade road where neither passes:
  • The vehicle facing downhill must yield.

Lane, turning, and passing instructions

Lane changes

• Before changing lanes: always signal.
• Then:
  • Check rear view mirror and turn head to check other vehicles beside your car.
• Change lanes only after:
  • Signaled intention and checked traffic.

Returning after overtaking

• After passing/overtaking and when safe:
  • Move back into the original lane if you can see in your rear view mirror the car you passed.

Passing to the right

• You may pass to the right only if the highway is clearly marked for two or more lanes moving toward the same direction.

Wrong lane turn rule

• If traveling in the wrong lane, before entering an intersection:
  • Look behind on both sides and ensure it is safe before you change lane.

Signaling distance for turns

• Begin signaling for a right/left turn at least 30 meters before the turning point.

Starting position for turns

• Normally begin a right turn from the lane nearest the right curb.

Passing/line rules (road markings)

• Double solid yellow lines: should not be crossed any time.
• Solid yellow/solid white lines: one question states you may not drive across solid yellow lines except to turn right (correct option shown).
• Cannot cross a single broken white or yellow line: as asked, the correct option indicates it would be allowed only when it would not interfere with traffic.
• Passing over double line: allowed only in the specified scenario:
  • You can cross over a double line to overtake another car if the line on your side is solid white / broken / solid yellow (correct option presented as B).
• Arrows painted on pavement: drivers must go in the direction of the arrows.

Overtaking safety (not safe places)

• Not safe to overtake:
  • Approaching a bridge, upon a curve, and at an intersection (combined correct choice indicates both—marked as “not safe”).

Shoulder passing

• Using the shoulder to pass to the right: against the law (correct option shown).

Right turn steps (what is not correct)

• Not correct: stop in the crosswalk.

Speed limits & safe speed

Maximum speed limit on an expressway

• 100 km/h.

School zone speed during school days

• 20 km/h.

Basic speed law

• You may never drive faster than what is safe.

Speed choice under the basic speed law

• Speed should be based on traffic and road condition.

Night driving & adverse conditions

• Night driving is more dangerous because:
  • The distance you can see ahead is reduced.
• Never drive at a speed that would prevent you from stopping within the distance you can see.
• Recommended speed sign concept:
  • Speed signs indicate recommended speed under the best condition.
• Safe following distance:
  • One car length per 10 miles of speed (as the selected correct option).

Drowsiness

• If you feel drowsy while driving:
  • Pull off the road and rest.

Sharp curves

• Approaching a sharp curve:
  • Decrease speed before entering the curve.

Defensive driving & decision-making

• Good driving attitude: drive defensively.
• Drivers gather most information with: eyes.
• Fatigue management on long trip:
  • Stop periodically for rest and exercise.
• Prevent fixed stare / resist distraction:
  • Move your eyes regularly by looking near and far.
• To reduce collision chance:
  • Adjust your speed and lane position.
• Drivers must make decisions:
  • Continuously as they drive.
• When interacting with bicyclists:
  • Adjust speed and increase your space margin.
• Side/rear mirror glances:
  • As briefly as possible.
• Night driving with blinding headlights:
  • Look slightly to the right side of the roadway.
• Blocked intersection:
  • If the roadway beyond is blocked, stop before the intersection and wait until traffic ahead moves on.
• Throwing objects from windows:
  • Forbidden at all times.

Tailgaters

• Effective response:
  • Slow down slightly and pull to the right.

Parking & stopping rules

What counts as “parked”

A vehicle is considered parked when:

• It has come to a stop on the shoulder of a highway and remains inactive in the place for an appreciable period of time.

Where you may not park

• Within 5 meters of a fire hydrant (correct option given).

Parking downhill

• When parking downhill:
  • Turn wheels into the curb or toward the side of the road (correct choice).
• Parking on an upgrade without a curb:
  • Get close to the curb and turn the front wheels away from the curb.

Leaving a parked position

• Before moving from parked position:
  • Check other traffic, signal, and pull from curb when safe.

Parking lights

• When vehicles are parked on the highway at night:
  • Use parking lights or lower beam headlights.

Loading/unloading passengers

• Usually stop at:
  • Right side of the road nearest the sidewalk.
• Can load/unload passengers:
  • Only at designated stops.

Lanes for faster/slower traffic

• If you intend to drive faster than other vehicles:
  • Use outermost right lane (correct option given as C).
• If you intend to drive slower than other vehicles:
  • Use outermost right lane (as the selected correct option).

Maximum/express school/other speed facts included

• Expressway maximum: 100 km/h
• School zone: 20 km/h

Licensing, enforcement, and regulations (LTO-focused)

• Driver license suspension means:
  • Temporarily taken away by the LTO.
• Main reasons for motor vehicle inspection:
  • Ensure cars meet safety standards.
• A public utility vehicle can only be driven by:
  • Professional license.
• Owning a driver’s license is:
  • A privilege.
• To avoid suspension/revocation after apprehended license:
  • Settle with LTO within 15 days.
• Lending a driver’s license:
