Many people find exams challenging, and a driving theory test is no different. If you want the best chance of success, then you know you'll have to revise, but fitting it into your already busy schedule can feel like an impossible task.

Whether you passed recently, or years ago, and whether you revised, or managed to fluke your way through the test with a pass mark to be proud of, seeing the questions again will likely bring you out in sweats. If you were to sit your theory test again, do you think you'd pass? These seriously tricky questions think not, but can you manage them?

According to Driving Test Success, there are 10 questions that are seriously tough, and leave some wannabe drivers confused and feeling cold. But can you answer them?

Here is the list of the trickiest questions:

1. When driving a car fitted with automatic transmission, what would you use 'kick-down' for?

2. You're turning right onto a dual carriageway. What should you do before emerging?

3. What is a cover note?

4. For how long is a Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) valid?

5. You're waiting in a traffic queue at night. How can you avoid dazzling drivers behind you?

6. What must you have when you apply to renew your vehicle tax?

7. You've just passed these warning lights. What hazard would you expect to see next?

8. At a puffin crossing, which colour follows the green signal?

9. Where will you see these red and white markers?

10. Which vehicle will use a blue flashing beacon?

Here are the answers, with explanations so you can further understand.

1. Quick acceleration. Explanation: 'Kick-down' selects a lower gear, enabling the vehicle to accelerate faster.

2. Check that the central reservation is wide enough for your vehicle. Explanation: Before emerging right onto a dual carriageway, make sure that the central reservation is deep enough to protect your vehicle. If it isn't, you should treat the dual carriageway as one road and check that it's clear in both directions before pulling out.

3. A document issued before you receive your insurance certificate. Explanation: Sometimes an insurance company will issue a temporary insurance certificate called a cover note. It gives you the same insurance cover as your certificate but lasts for a limited period, usually one month.

4. Until the vehicle is taxed, sold or scrapped. Explanation: A SORN allows you to keep a vehicle off-road and untaxed.

5. Use the parking brake only. Explanation: If you apply your parking brake, you can take your foot off the footbrake. This will deactivate the brake lights.

6. Valid insurance. Explanation: You can renew your vehicle tax online, at post offices and vehicle registration offices, or by phone. When applying, make sure you have all the relevant, valid documents, including a valid MOT test certificate where applicable.

7. A school crossing patrol. Explanation: These lights warn that children may be crossing the road to a nearby school. Slow down so that you’re ready to stop if necessary.

8. Steady amber. Explanation: Puffin crossings have infra-red sensors that detect when pedestrians are crossing and hold the red traffic signal until the crossing is clear. The use of a sensor means there's no flashing amber phase as there is with a pelican crossing.

9. Approaching a concealed level crossing. Explanation: If there's a bend just before a level crossing, you may not be able to see the level-crossing barriers or waiting traffic. These signs give you an early warning that you may find these hazards just around the bend.

10. Bomb disposal. Explanation: If you see or hear one emergency flashing lights, move out of its way as soon as it's safe and legal to do so.
