1Under Chilean Traffic Law (Ley 18.290), what is the general statutory maximum speed limit for light vehicles in urban zones (zona urbana) unless otherwise signposted?
A.40 km/h
B.50 km/h
C.60 km/h
D.70 km/h
Explanation: Under Ley 21.088 (which amended Ley 18.290 in 2018), the statutory maximum speed limit for light passenger vehicles in urban areas in Chile is 50 km/h, reduced from the historical 60 km/h limit to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety.
2Under Article 111 of the Chilean Ley de Tránsito, which blood alcohol range corresponds to driving 'bajo la influencia del alcohol'?
A.Any measurable amount above 0.0 g/l
B.More than 0.3 g/l and less than 0.8 g/l
C.0.8 g/l or more
D.More than 1.2 g/l
Explanation: Article 111 states the two bands precisely: driving is 'bajo la influencia del alcohol' when the alcoholemia report or breath test yields more than 0.3 and less than 0.8 grams per litre of blood alcohol, and 'en estado de ebriedad' at 0.8 g/l or above. Ley 20.580, popularly called Ley Tolerancia Cero, is the 2012 reform that lowered these figures. A reading of 0.3 g/l or below is expressly excluded by Article 109 from counting as a deficient physical condition.
3What is the legal blood alcohol threshold that defines driving 'en estado de ebriedad' (in a state of drunkenness) under Chilean law?
A.0.50 grams per liter (g/l)
B.0.60 grams per liter (g/l)
C.0.80 grams per liter (g/l) or higher
D.1.00 grams per liter (g/l)
Explanation: Under Ley 18.290 (amended by Ley 20.580 and Ley 20.770 / Ley Emilia), a blood alcohol concentration of 0.80 g/l or greater legally constitutes driving 'en estado de ebriedad', punishable with criminal conviction, license suspension or cancellation, and imprisonment.
4What key sanction does Ley Emilia (Ley 20.770) establish for drivers who cause fatal or catastrophic traffic collisions while driving drunk or under the influence of drugs?
A.A simple administrative fine and 30 days community service
B.Mandatory minimum of at least 1 year of actual prison (presidio efectivo) before any alternative sentencing can be considered
C.Automatic suspension of the driver's license for only 6 months
D.Probation with no required prison time if it is a first-time offense
Explanation: Ley 20.770, known as Ley Emilia, is best remembered for one specific rule: a driver who, while 'en estado de ebriedad', causes death or lesiones graves gravísimas must serve at least one year of effective imprisonment before any substitute penalty can be applied. The same statute separately criminalised fleeing the scene of such a crash and unjustified refusal to submit to alcohol or drug testing, but it is the ebriedad-plus-serious-outcome case that carries the mandatory year of actual prison.
5Under Chilean traffic law, until what age are children legally required to travel in the rear seats of light motor vehicles?
A.Until 7 years old
B.Until 9 years old
C.Until 12 years old
D.Until 14 years old
Explanation: Under Article 75 of Ley 18.290, children up to 12 years of age are legally prohibited from traveling in front passenger seats of light vehicles (unless the vehicle has a single cabin, such as certain pickup trucks) and must travel secured in the rear seats.
6What are the statutory requirements for Child Restraint Systems (SRI - Sistemas de Retención Infantil) in Chile under Ley 20.904?
A.Mandatory for children up to 4 years old only, regardless of height or weight
B.Mandatory for all children up to 9 years old (or until reaching 135 cm in height and 33 kg in weight)
C.Mandatory only when traveling on rural highways and interurban expressways
D.Optional if the child is accompanied by an adult holding them in their lap
Explanation: Chilean law mandates that children up to 9 years of age (or under 135 cm in height and 33 kg in weight) must be secured in an approved Child Restraint System (car seat or booster cushion) appropriate for their weight and size.
7Under Ley de Convivencia Vial (Ley 21.088), what is the minimum lateral clearance a motor vehicle driver must maintain when overtaking a cyclist?
A.0.5 meters
B.1.0 meter
C.1.5 meters
D.2.0 meters
Explanation: Ley 21.088 establishes that motor vehicle drivers must maintain a minimum lateral separation distance of at least 1.5 meters when passing or overtaking cyclists and users of personal mobility devices on public roads.
8At an uncontrolled four-way intersection where two vehicles approach simultaneously from different streets, who has the right-of-way (derecho preferente de paso)?
A.The vehicle approaching from the left of the other driver
B.The vehicle approaching from the right of the other driver
C.The heavier or larger vehicle
D.The vehicle that reaches the highest speed before entering
Explanation: Under Article 139 of Ley 18.290, at intersections where traffic is not regulated by traffic lights, police officers, or Stop/Yield signs, the driver approaching from the left must yield right-of-way to the vehicle approaching from their right (the right-hand priority rule).
9Who has the right-of-way when entering a roundabout (rotonda) in Chile?
A.The vehicle entering the roundabout has priority over vehicles already inside
B.The vehicle already circulating inside the roundabout has right-of-way over vehicles wishing to enter
C.The vehicle traveling in the outermost lane always has priority regardless of position
D.Vehicles entering from the north or east always have priority
Explanation: The CONASET Libro para la Conducción en Chile states the duty directly: on reaching a roundabout you are obliged to give way to the vehicles already circulating in it. Article 124 of the Ley de Tránsito adds the direction of travel, requiring vehicles in a zona de tránsito en rotación (monuments, squares, roundabouts) to pass to the right of the island, leaving it on their left, unless signs indicate otherwise. The manual also advises deciding your exit early so you enter in the correct lane and signal right after passing the exit before yours.
10How is a lower speed limit than 50 km/h, such as a 30 km/h limit outside a school, legally established on a Chilean urban street?
A.The Ley de Tránsito itself fixes a nationwide 30 km/h limit for every school and hospital frontage
B.The municipality may raise or lower the statutory limit for a specific road, or declare a 'zona de tránsito calmado', and the change takes effect through official signage
C.Any driver may choose a lower limit and the police must accept it
D.Only the Dirección de Vialidad may change limits, and only on rural roads
Explanation: Article 145 of the Ley de Tránsito fixes only the general maximum limits (50 km/h urban, 100 or 120 km/h rural, and lower caps for buses and heavy trucks). Article 146 is what allows a lower figure: municipalities in urban areas, and the Dirección de Vialidad in rural areas, may raise or lower the limit for a given road on justified grounds, and municipalities may also establish 'zonas de tránsito calmado'. The modified limit is legally effective only once it is shown by official signs, which is why the driver's duty is to read the posted sign rather than assume a nationwide figure.

About the Licencia Clase B (Chile) Exam

The theory examination for the Licencia de Conducir Clase B is the knowledge test required of anyone seeking Chile's standard non-professional licence, which covers motor vehicles of three or more wheels for the private carriage of people with up to nine seats excluding the driver, or goods vehicles up to 3,500 kg gross. It is sat at a municipal Dirección de Tránsito on the Nexteo platform that CONASET rolled out nationally from July 2024: 35 randomly drawn questions, 3 of them double-scoring, a maximum of 38 points and a pass at 33. The syllabus is the CONASET Libro para la Conducción en Chile, whose current edition is dated 27 February 2026, and which covers the Ley de Tránsito, signage, priority, the alcohol thresholds of Article 111, the 1.5 m clearance for cyclists and the child restraint rules of Article 75. Clase B is unusual among Chilean licences in that CONASET states the theory paper may be sat in English at the candidate's request, and CONASET publishes an English-language New Drivers Handbook. This practice bank is nevertheless an English-language study adaptation written to the CONASET syllabus, not the official paper.

Assessment

A computerised multiple-choice examination of 35 questions with a maximum of 38 points, sat once at a municipal Dirección de Tránsito on the Nexteo platform. The syllabus is the CONASET Libro para la Conducción en Chile, whose current edition is dated 27 February 2026. A practical driving test, made up of a free-driving stage and a guided stage, is also compulsory. CONASET states that at the candidate's request the theory paper may be sat in English.

Licencia Clase B (Chile) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Focus on the double-scoring topics: CONASET applies double points to alcohol, speed, the helmet, the seat belt and child restraint systems.
2Learn the exact alcohol bands from Article 111 — above 0.3 and below 0.8 g/l is 'bajo la influencia del alcohol', and 0.8 g/l or above is 'estado de ebriedad'.
3Estimate reaction distance the way the manual does: multiply the first figure of the speed by three, up to 99 km/h, and use the first two digits from 100 km/h upwards.
4Remember that braking distance grows with the square of speed — double the speed and it quadruples, triple it and it grows ninefold.
5Know the urban limit of 50 km/h and the 1.5 m lateral clearance required when passing a cyclist under Article 120.
6Fix the child rules: rear seats for anyone under twelve, and a child restraint system up to and including 8 years old or until 135 cm and 33 kg are reached.
7Note that a single flashing red light means CEDA EL PASO, not PARE, and that a flashing amber warns of danger.
8Study the current text: the Libro para la Conducción en Chile is dated 27 February 2026, and the July 2024 revision added electromobility, child restraint and crash-response content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chile Licencia Clase B theory exam?

It is the compulsory knowledge test for Chile's standard non-professional driving licence, sat once at a municipal Dirección de Tránsito on the Nexteo platform that CONASET rolled out nationally from July 2024.

How many questions are on the Chile Clase B exam and what is the pass mark?

CONASET states that the paper carries 35 randomly drawn questions, 3 of which score double, so the maximum is 38 points and a pass requires at least 33. The double-scoring items cover alcohol, speed, the helmet, the seat belt and child restraint systems.

Can the Clase B theory exam be taken in English?

Yes. CONASET states that at the candidate's request the theory examination may be sat in English, and it publishes an English-language New Drivers Handbook alongside the Spanish Libro para la Conducción en Chile. Chile's other licence classes have no equivalent provision.

What are the legal blood alcohol thresholds in Chile?

Article 111 of the Ley de Tránsito sets two bands: driving is 'bajo la influencia del alcohol' at more than 0.3 and less than 0.8 grams per litre, and 'en estado de ebriedad' at 0.8 g/l or above. Ley 20.580 lowered these figures in 2012. Ley 20.770, known as Ley Emilia, requires at least one year of effective imprisonment for a driver in estado de ebriedad who causes death or lesiones graves gravísimas.

What are the statutory speed limits in Chile?

Article 145 sets 50 km/h in urban areas, 100 km/h on rural roads with one lane in each direction and 120 km/h on rural roads with two or more lanes in the same direction. Buses and lorries of 3,860 kg or more and school transport are capped at 90 km/h, with interurban buses allowed 100 km/h. Article 146 lets municipalities and the Dirección de Vialidad raise or lower a limit for a specific road, effective through official signage.

What are the rules for children and child restraint systems in Chile?

Article 75 prohibits carrying children under twelve in the front seats of cars, vans and lorries, except in single-cab vehicles. It makes the driver responsible for the use of a child restraint system by children up to and including 8 years old, or who have not reached 135 cm in height and 33 kg in weight, travelling in the rear seats of light vehicles.

What equipment must a car in Chile carry?

Article 75 lists safety glass, windscreen wipers, an adjustable interior mirror, a speedometer, bumpers, a fire extinguisher, emergency devices meeting the regulation's requirements, a spare wheel in good condition with the tools to fit it, and seat belts. The first-aid kit and the two wheel chocks are required of freight, collective-transport and school-transport vehicles rather than of private cars. The CONASET manual adds that the high-visibility vest must be yellow with retroreflective bands at least 50 mm wide, and must be worn whenever you get out of the vehicle.
