What should you consider when planning a route for your journey?
- A Weight restrictions
- B Speed cameras
- C Speed-limit changes
- D One-way streets
Why this is the answer
You should plan your route to avoid vehicle width, height and weight restrictions that would affect your vehicle and load. Planning to avoid busy times can also reduce journey times and fuel costs.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- Speed cameras — Cameras matter to how you drive, not to whether the route is possible.
- C
- Speed-limit changes — Changing limits affect your timing rather than your access.
- D
- One-way streets — One-way streets affect the detail of the route, not whether a heavy vehicle may use it.

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.
