How can you help to ease traffic congestion?
- A Plan journeys to avoid busy times
- B Plan journeys to avoid quiet times
- C Use motorways for all journeys
- D Avoid motorways altogether
Why this is the answer
By planning your journey to avoid busy times, you'll avoid the build-up of traffic that often occurs.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- Plan journeys to avoid quiet times — Quiet times are what you want to travel in, not avoid.
- C
- Use motorways for all journeys — Motorways are not always the right road, and forcing every journey onto them adds miles.
- D
- Avoid motorways altogether — Avoiding motorways pushes heavy vehicles onto roads that suit them far less.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
