Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

4.5 metres (15 feet)

4.7 metres (15 feet 6 inches)

4.8 metres (16 feet)

5.0 metres (16 feet 6 inches)

Show the answer

5.0 metres (16 feet 6 inches)This was the right answer

Bridges below 16 feet 6 inches, approximately 5 metres, are normally signed. An absent, damaged or obscured sign does not guarantee clearance: know the loaded vehicle height and verify that the route is safe.
