1Which riding choice most directly improves a motorcyclist's conspicuity to other road users?
A.Wear dark clothing and remain close to the edge of another driver's blind spot
B.Use the main beam continuously, even when it dazzles approaching traffic
C.Use the dipped headlight and choose a road position where others can see the motorcycle
D.Rely on the horn instead of observation and visible road positioning
Explanation: K.D.P. 475/2013 expressly includes motorcyclist visibility to other road users in the A1/A2/A theory scope. A dipped headlight and a visible, adaptable road position help others detect the motorcycle without dazzling them.
2Under Cyprus road traffic rules, how old must a person be before a motorcyclist may carry that person as a pillion passenger?
A.7 years old
B.10 years old
C.Older than 12 years
D.16 years old
Explanation: Cyprus motorcycle rules permit a pillion passenger only when that person is more than 12 years old and sits astride on the proper passenger seat.
3Which pillion-passenger arrangement complies with Cyprus motorcycle rules?
A.One passenger sits in front of the rider on the fuel tank
B.One passenger older than 12 sits astride behind the rider on a purpose-built seat securely fixed to the motorcycle
C.Two passengers share the rear of the rider's seat if both wear approved helmets
D.One passenger sits sideways on a rear luggage rack
Explanation: Cyprus regulations allow one passenger older than 12 behind the rider, sitting astride on a passenger seat made for that purpose and securely fixed to the motorcycle or moped.
4Under Cyprus driving licence regulations (Law 94(I)/2001), what are the maximum technical specifications for a Category A1 motorcycle?
A.Engine cylinder capacity up to 50 cc and power up to 4 kW
B.Engine cylinder capacity up to 125 cc, maximum power of 11 kW, and power-to-weight ratio below 0.1 kW/kg
C.Engine cylinder capacity up to 250 cc, maximum power of 25 kW, and power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.15 kW/kg
D.Engine cylinder capacity up to 400 cc and maximum power of 35 kW
Explanation: Cyprus Driving Licence Law 94(I)/2001 defines Category A1 as motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11 kW, with a power-to-weight ratio below 0.1 kW/kg. A1 also covers motor tricycles whose power does not exceed 15 kW.
5What is the maximum engine power output and power-to-weight ratio permitted for Category A2 motorcycles?
A.Power up to 25 kW and power-to-weight ratio up to 0.16 kW/kg
B.Power up to 35 kW and power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.2 kW/kg (not derived from a vehicle of more than double its power)
C.Power up to 48 kW with no power-to-weight restriction
D.Power up to 70 kW provided the rider has completed five years of riding
Explanation: Category A2 applies to medium motorcycles with a maximum engine power up to 35 kW (approx. 47 hp) and a power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.2 kW/kg. If restricted, the motorcycle cannot be derived from a vehicle producing more than 70 kW.
6Under the progressive-access route in Cyprus, which combination is required for a Category A motorcycle licence?
A.Reach age 18 and pass a written multiple-choice test
B.Be at least 22, hold Category A2 for at least two years, complete the prescribed seven hours of relevant training, and pass the practical test
C.Hold a Category A1 licence for one year and reach age 20
D.Hold a full Category B car licence for three years with no motorcycle test required
Explanation: Cyprus Law 94(I)/2001 sets age 22 and at least two years holding A2 for progressive access to Category A. The RTD motorcycle notice also requires seven hours of relevant training and a successful practical test.
7Under Article 6 of Cyprus Driving Licence Law 94(I)/2001, what is the minimum age for direct access to Category A with the prescribed special skills-and-behaviour test?
A.20 years old
B.21 years old
C.24 years old
D.26 years old
Explanation: Article 6 permits direct access to Category A at age 24 through the prescribed special skills-and-behaviour test. The lower age-22 route requires at least two years holding Category A2.
8How long must a candidate hold a valid learner driving licence in Cyprus before they are legally eligible to take their first practical motorcycle driving test?
A.At least 7 days
B.At least 14 days
C.At least 21 days
D.At least 6 months
Explanation: Article 22 of Driving Licence Law 94(I)/2001 requires a first-time examination applicant to have held a valid learner licence for at least 21 days. Article 14 instead governs eligibility for issue of the learner licence.
9Under the current Cyprus rules, when may an ordinary civilian learner motorcyclist ride on a public road?
A.Learner motorcyclists may ride alone on any road provided they display 'L' plates and stay below 50 km/h
B.Only while training under a licensed motorcycle instructor who follows on another vehicle of the relevant category, or while taking the official test
C.Learner motorcyclists may ride unaccompanied anywhere except during night hours
D.Learner motorcyclists may ride with any fully licensed car driver following in another vehicle
Explanation: The current law bars ordinary AM/A1/A2/A learner-licence holders from unsupervised riding on a road or other public place. The civilian routes are supervised training with a licensed instructor following on another relevant-category vehicle, or the official examination.
10When approaching a signal-controlled junction in Cyprus where the main circular light is red but a green filter arrow points to the right, what action should you take?
A.Stop and wait until the main circular light turns green before turning right
B.You may proceed to turn right in the direction of the arrow, with caution, provided your lane is clear
C.You may proceed straight ahead or turn right
D.The green arrow indicates priority only for emergency vehicles
Explanation: A green filter arrow illuminated alongside a red main traffic signal indicates that traffic turning in the direction of the arrow may proceed, exercising caution and yielding if necessary to crossing pedestrians.

About the Cyprus Motorcycle Theory Test Exam

Cyprus law requires applicants to pass theoretical and practical assessment for the driving-licence category sought. K.D.P. 475/2013 adds mandatory A1/A2/A knowledge on protective equipment, rider visibility, slippery surfaces, the emergency-stop switch, oil level, and chain or drive belt. This English-language MCQ bank is a study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation, and it cannot replace the mandatory practical riding test or supervised skills practice.

Assessment

An oral and/or written theory assessment covers common road-traffic knowledge and mandatory A1/A2/A-specific knowledge. It is followed by a practical assessment of preparation, safety checks, special manoeuvres, braking and avoidance, and riding in traffic; its on-road portion lasts at least 25 minutes. This English four-option bank is a study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation, and it does not replace practical riding preparation.

Time Limit

No fixed theory duration is published. The category A1/A2/A on-road practical portion requires at least 25 minutes, excluding reception, preparation, safety checks, special manoeuvres, and announcement of the result.

Passing Score

No numeric theory pass mark is published in the current official law, examination notice, or RTD procedure pages.

Exam Fee

Licensing pathway fees: €10 preliminary examination certificate, €20 learner licence, €20 practical test (€54.17 out-of-hours), €40 full driving licence (up to age 65). (Road Transport Department (RTD / Τμήμα Οδικών Μεταφορών), Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works)

Cyprus Motorcycle Theory Test Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the distinction between car and motorcycle alcohol limits in Cyprus: remember that motorcyclists face the strict 0.09 mg/L breath (0.2 g/L blood) threshold.
2Thoroughly understand low-friction hazard management, particularly drain covers, painted road markings and arrows, and rails set into the road.
3Review pre-ride inspection procedures, including the oil-level method and chain or drive-belt checks specified by the motorcycle manufacturer.
4Practise the official skills clusters separately: preparation and checks, low-speed control, braking and avoidance, and safe riding in traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What licence categories are covered under the Cyprus motorcycle examination framework?

The A1 framework covers light motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11 kW (minimum full-licence age 18; learner licence at 17.5). A2 covers motorcycles up to 35 kW (minimum age 20 after holding A1 for two years). Category A is available at 22 through progressive access after holding A2 for two years, or at 24 through direct access with the prescribed special test.

What is the official format of the Cyprus motorcycle theory test, and how is this bank adapted?

Under K.D.P. 475/2013 and Law 94(I)/2001, theoretical knowledge is evaluated through an oral and/or written examination and is followed by mandatory practical assessment. This English-language four-option bank is a study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation, and it does not replace riding-skills practice.

What is the legal drink-driving alcohol limit for motorcyclists in Cyprus?

Under Cyprus road safety legislation, motorcyclists are subject to a strict lower limit of 0.09 mg/L of breath (equivalent to 0.2 g/L of blood). This is substantially lower than the standard 0.22 mg/L breath limit for experienced private car drivers, reflecting the critical coordination and balance required to operate a motorcycle safely.

Does the official Cyprus outline publish percentage weights for its motorcycle topics?

No. K.D.P. 475/2013 lists the common and A1/A2/A-specific knowledge that must be tested but gives no percentage blueprint. The practice-bank distribution is therefore a study design choice, not an official exam weighting.

What practical elements follow the theory assessment for A1, A2, and A?

The practical assessment covers protective-equipment preparation, safety checks, motorcycle handling, low- and higher-speed special manoeuvres, braking and obstacle avoidance, and safe riding in traffic. The on-road portion must last at least 25 minutes, excluding preparation and manoeuvres.
