The two traffic signs that cause the most common mistakes on the driving test, according to a driving instructor: "Caution"

The two traffic signs that cause the most common mistakes on the driving test, according to a driving instructor: "Caution"

The Spanish TikTok profile @almagro_autoescuela has explained the true meaning of two signs that cause countless mistakes in the questions they ask their students at the driving school. The video's protagonist claims they are "on the podium" of "questions that are most frequently missed" throughout the year across the entire school.

"These two questions could easily be among the most frequently missed answers in the entire driving school. Let's see if you know them ," the driving instructor added, sounding somewhat concerned, before explaining and analyzing the two signs mentioned.

What is the first sign?

First, the automotive professional explains the meaning of the first one and assures that this sign indicates "entry prohibited to any vehicle containing a motor" : "In this first one, where we can see a car and a motorcycle , it means entry prohibited to any vehicle containing a motor."

In turn, the user resolves one of his students' biggest doubts and explains that, despite the fact that only "one car and one motorcycle" appear on the sign, the ban applies to all motor vehicles: "It's true that a car and a motorcycle appear, and that's why many people believe that only cars and motorcycles are prohibited. It's understandable... but, even if there are only these two vehicles, it means that all motor vehicles are completely prohibited . Cars can't enter, motorcycles can't enter, buses can't enter, and neither can tanks..."

What does the second sign mean?

Secondly, the professor explained the meaning of the second sign and also a vital detail to avoid making the mistake or avoiding a traffic fine in the future: "However, when there is only one car on the sign we must be careful... the vast majority of people think that entry is prohibited only for cars. Caution. It means the same as the previous sign, but with one exception."

What's the exception? Well, as the user explains, all motor vehicles will be prohibited from entering "except motorcycles" : "Motorcycles, in this case, will be allowed to enter the area. It's very important to be clear about this aspect to pass the test or avoid a traffic ticket in the future for violating traffic regulations."
