Attitude on the theory test
Attitude questions are about how you behave towards other road users. They test whether you leave enough room, give way when you should, stay patient with slower or less experienced drivers, and use the horn and headlights only for what the Highway Code allows.

Common questions
What does flashing headlights mean in the Highway Code?
Only that you are there. The Highway Code says you should not flash your headlights to convey any other message or to intimidate other road users, and you should never assume another driver's flash means it is safe to go.
Why are attitude questions hard?
Several answers can sound reasonable. The right one follows the Highway Code and is the most considerate, so learn the exact rules on signals, giving way and following distances.
