What should you do before driving into a tunnel?
- A Switch off your radio
- B Take off your sunglasses
- C Close your sunroof
- D Switch on your windscreen wipers
Why this is the answer
If you're wearing sunglasses, you should remove them before driving into a tunnel. If you do not, your vision will be restricted, even in tunnels that appear to be well lit.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Switch off your radio — In some tunnels you are asked to tune in rather than switch off.
- C
- Close your sunroof — A sunroof makes no difference inside a tunnel.
- D
- Switch on your windscreen wipers — There is no rain inside a tunnel.
Where this comes from

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.
