The exam has 40 multiple-choice questions drawn at random from the MTC balotario. You have 40 minutes and must answer at least 35 correctly (87.5%) to pass.
Where do I take the Class A-I knowledge exam in 2026?
Since 22 April 2026, the Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima runs Class A knowledge and driving exams in Lima Metropolitana at the Concesionario Circuito Vial Lima Norte, Jr. Flor de Arayanes 361, Comas. Outside Lima, the exam is taken at the evaluation centre of the regional transport directorate.
What are the current urban speed limits in Peru?
Since 18 July 2022, D.S. N° 025-2021-MTC has set 30 km/h on calles and jirones and 50 km/h on avenidas. Vías expresas remain 80 km/h, and school and hospital zones 30 km/h. Where a carretera crosses a town, the limits are 30 km/h in commercial zones, 50 km/h in residential zones and 30 km/h near schools and hospitals. The MTC's 2018 balotario still shows the old 40 and 60 km/h figures.
How does Peru's driving-licence points system work?
Under D.S. N° 025-2021-MTC, every licence starts at zero points and infractions add points, which stay counted for two years. Reaching 100 points leads to a 6-month suspension the first time, 12 months the second time, and definitive cancellation the third time. A road-safety course can remove 30 points once every two years.
What is the legal alcohol limit for Class A-I drivers?
The RNT refers to the Código Penal limit of 0.5 grams of alcohol per litre of blood for drivers in general (0.25 g/l for public transport drivers). Driving above the limit, or refusing the test, is infraction M2: 50% of the UIT and a 3-year suspension. If the driver was involved in an accident, it is M1: 100% of the UIT, cancellation of the licence and definitive inhabilitation.
What safety equipment must a car carry in Peru?
Article 246 of the RNT lists a fire extinguisher and safety triangles or red reflective devices among the compulsory safety elements, and the Reglamento Nacional de Vehículos requires a spare wheel plus a jack and wheel wrench. If the vehicle breaks down, the triangles go 50 to 150 metres before and after it.
In what language is the official exam given?
The official knowledge exam and the MTC balotario are in Spanish. This practice bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or simulation, and it keeps official Spanish legal terms.
What does the SOAT cover?
The SOAT covers personal injury and death in traffic accidents for the vehicle's occupants and for third parties such as pedestrians. It is valid for one year. According to the SBS, it is issued by insurance companies with nationwide cover, while the CAT is issued by AFOCATs for provincial public passenger transport.
