1What is the minimum age at which a person may apply for a Code 1 (motorcycle A/A1) learner's licence in Namibia?
A.15 years
B.16 years
C.17 years
D.18 years
Explanation: A person must be at least 16 years old to apply for a Code 1 learner's licence covering motorcycles (classes A and A1) in Namibia.
2Which vehicle classes does a Code 1 learner's licence in Namibia generally cover?
A.Light motor vehicles B/BE only
B.Motorcycles A and A1
C.Heavy goods vehicles C1/C only
D.Buses and minibuses with a gross vehicle mass over 3 500 kg
Explanation: Code 1 is the motorcycle learner category and relates to driving-licence classes A and A1. Light motor vehicles fall under Code 2 (B/BE) and heavier vehicles, including buses, under Code 3 (C1/C/CE1/CE).
3On which side of the road must a motorcycle rider keep in Namibia unless a sign or officer directs otherwise?
A.The left-hand side
B.The right-hand side
C.The centre line at all times
D.Whichever side feels safer
Explanation: Namibia is a left-hand traffic country. Motorcycle riders, like all other road users, must keep to the left of the roadway except when overtaking, turning right, or where markings and signs indicate otherwise.
4What is the general speed limit in an urban area in Namibia unless signs indicate otherwise?
A.40 km/h
B.50 km/h
C.60 km/h
D.80 km/h
Explanation: Regulation 323 sets the general urban speed limit at 60 km/h. Posted signs may impose a lower limit near schools, hospitals, or residential zones.
5What is the general speed limit on an untarred (gravel) road outside an urban area in Namibia?
A.80 km/h
B.100 km/h
C.120 km/h
D.140 km/h
Explanation: Regulation 323 sets the general limit on untarred roads outside urban areas at 100 km/h. Loose gravel and dust often make a lower speed safer for motorcycles.
6What is the general speed limit on a tarred road outside an urban area, and on a freeway, in Namibia?
A.100 km/h
B.110 km/h
C.120 km/h
D.140 km/h

7For how long is a learner's licence valid after it is issued in Namibia?
A.6 months
B.12 months
C.18 months
D.24 months
Explanation: Under regulation 111, a learner's licence is valid for 18 months from the date of issue. The holder must pass the practical test and obtain a driving licence within that period.
8May a Code 1 learner rider carry a passenger on a motorcycle that has no side-car?
A.Yes, if the passenger wears a helmet
B.No, a learner may not carry a passenger on a motorcycle without a side-car
C.Yes, if riding only in an urban area
D.Yes, if the passenger is also a learner
Explanation: A motorcycle learner riding a motorcycle without a side-car may not carry a passenger. This differs from some non-motorcycle learner rules that focus on an accompanying licensed driver.
9How does the passenger rule for a motorcycle learner without a side-car differ from a typical light-vehicle learner requirement?
A.Motorcycle learners must always carry two passengers
B.Motorcycle learners without a side-car may not carry a passenger, whereas light-vehicle learners must be accompanied by a licensed driver
C.There is no difference at all
D.Light-vehicle learners may never have any other person in the vehicle
Explanation: A Code 1 learner on a motorcycle without a side-car may not carry a passenger. By contrast, a non-motorcycle learner typically must be accompanied by a licensed driver for that class and display a red L plate.
10Under the Road Traffic and Transport Act, when is a rider considered to be driving under the influence based on blood alcohol concentration?
A.Any detectable alcohol at all
B.Blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.079 g per 100 ml
C.Blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.50 g per 100 ml
D.Only if the rider feels intoxicated
Explanation: Section 82 makes it an offence to drive with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.079 g per 100 ml. Feeling sober is not the legal test.

About the NaTIS Code 1 Learner Exam

The Namibia NaTIS Code 1 learner's licence test is the theoretical knowledge assessment required before you may practice riding a motorcycle on a public road under a learner's licence. Administered by the Roads Authority through NaTIS centres, Code 1 applies to motorcycles and leads toward driving-licence codes A and A1. Official eligibility starts at 16 years (A1 pathway up to 125 cc; A pathway above 125 cc from 17). Under the Road Traffic and Transport Regulations, the driving examiner must confirm that you know the rules of the road, road traffic signs, and the controls of a motorcycle of the class applied for, via a theoretical test approved by the Minister. Application costs N$45.00 and issuing after a pass costs N$50.00. A learner's licence is valid for 18 months. English is the primary test medium; optional local-language papers are offered at designated NaTIS centres. This free English-language four-option MCQ bank is a study adaptation aligned to that official scope — it is not an official translation, NaTIS paper, or substitute for supervised practical riding.

NaTIS Code 1 Learner Study Tips from Top Performers

1Memorise Namibia's general speed limits from regulation 323: 60 km/h in urban areas, 100 km/h on untarred roads outside urban areas, and 120 km/h on tarred roads and freeways unless a lower sign is posted.
2Learn the alcohol limits exactly: blood 0.079 g per 100 ml and breath 0.37 mg per 1 000 ml (Road Traffic and Transport Act section 82).
3Drill motorcycle controls until automatic — Code 1 replaces car-control items with throttle, clutch lever, and front/rear brake questions.
4Remember learner motorcycle rules: no passenger on a motorcycle without a side-car while holding a learner's licence.
5Use English practice here even if you will write in a local language — the legal rules and sign meanings are the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Namibia NaTIS Code 1 learner's licence test?

It is the Roads Authority / NaTIS theoretical knowledge test for motorcycle learner applicants (Code 1), required before practising on public roads toward driving-licence codes A and A1. The examiner must confirm knowledge of road rules, traffic signs, and motorcycle controls.

How much does the Code 1 learner's test cost?

According to the Roads Authority Namibia learner-licence page, the application fee is N$45.00 (includes the right to write the test) and issuing the learner's licence after a pass is N$50.00.

What is the minimum age for Code 1?

The Roads Authority lists Code 1 (for codes A and A1) at 16 years and above. In practice, A1 (up to 125 cc) is available from 16 and full Code A (above 125 cc) from 17.

How long is a Namibian learner's licence valid?

Under Road Traffic and Transport Regulations regulation 111, a learner's licence is valid for 18 months from the date of issue.

In which languages can I write the NaTIS learner's test?

English remains the primary medium. From 23 August 2021 the Roads Authority introduced written learner licence tests in local languages at NaTIS centres countrywide for applicants who are not conversant in English: Afrikaans, Khoekhoegowab (Nama/Damara), Otjiherero, Oshiwambo/Oshikwanyama, Rukwangali and Silozi.

Has the NaTIS learner's licence test gone computerised?

Partly. The Ministry of Works and Transport and the Roads Authority launched Computerised Learner Licence Testing (CLLT) together with an online Book-and-Pay system at Okahandja NaTIS in June 2026. CLLT replaces the manual written paper with a digital test that produces results immediately. Rollout to the remaining NaTIS centres is phased, so check with your centre whether you will write on paper or on screen.

Is this practice bank an official NaTIS paper?

No. This is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the official theoretical-test scope (rules, signs, motorcycle controls). It is not an official Roads Authority translation, format simulation, or copy of NaTIS items.
