1What minimum age does SLA publish for a Class 1 motorcycle driving licence?

A.18 years

B.16 years

C.21 years

D.24 years

Explanation: SLA lists Class 1 motorcycles from age 16. Meeting the age threshold does not by itself grant permission to ride without the required licence.

2Which description matches SLA's published Class 2 driving licence category?

A.Commercial vehicles between 2,000 and 5,000 kg, from age 18

B.Public omnibuses, from age 24

C.Private vehicles including commercial vehicles not exceeding 2,000 kg, from age 18

D.Motorcycles, from age 16

Explanation: SLA describes Class 2 as private vehicles including commercial vehicles not exceeding 2,000 kg, with a minimum age of 18. The commercial weight band and the vehicle's use matter when choosing the category.

3SLA confirms that a delivery vehicle falls within its commercial vehicle band between 2,000 and 5,000 kg. Which driving licence class covers that band?

A.Class 2

B.Class 5

C.Class 7

D.Class 4

Explanation: SLA assigns commercial vehicles between 2,000 and 5,000 kg to Class 4. Its published minimum driver age for this class is 18.

4An operator wants to drive a loader on a public road. Which feature of SLA Class 7 should the operator check?

A.Whether the licence names the relevant vehicle type

B.Whether a Class 2 licence has been held for one year

C.Whether the machine has fewer than ten seats

D.Whether the machine is being used without payment

Explanation: SLA describes Class 7 as other vehicles specified by name, including loaders, excavators and tractors. The operator should check the actual authorisation rather than assume a private car licence covers plant.

5Under regulation 7 of the Licences (Road Transport) Regulations, how do the competency and medical certificates differ?

A.The medical certificate replaces the Police competency certificate

B.A garage issues both certificates

C.The Police certificate concerns driving control; a medical fitness certificate is also supplied where a medical test is required

D.Both certificates concern only the vehicle's mechanical condition

Explanation: Regulation 7(a) concerns the Commissioner's certificate that the applicant can drive and fully control the vehicle. Regulation 7(b) adds a medical certificate where a medical test is required; it does not state an unconditional medical requirement for every application.

6At a clockwise roundabout with a GIVE WAY sign on your approach, traffic is already circulating towards you from the right. What should you do?

A.Enter because approaching vehicles have priority

B.Give way and enter when there is a safe gap

C.Enter as soon as a circulating driver signals left

D.Follow the vehicle ahead without making another check

Explanation: Give way to the circulating traffic and judge a safe gap yourself. An indicator or another driver's decision does not guarantee that your entry is safe.

7A vehicle ahead signals right and positions to turn right. There is a narrow gap on its left, occupied by a cyclist. What is the safest action?

A.Pass on the right before it completes the turn

B.Pass on the left because the signal guarantees clearance

C.Sound the horn and pass between the cyclist and car

D.Wait until there is enough safe space to pass

Explanation: A right-turn signal does not make every pass on the left safe. Wait rather than squeeze past a vulnerable road user or cross the turning vehicle's path.

8You approach a steep, blind hairpin on Mahé where two vehicles may not fit alongside each other. Which preparation best preserves control?

A.Reduce speed and select a suitable lower gear before the bend, keeping left and ready to stop

B.Enter in a high gear and change down halfway round

C.Move towards the centre to improve the view before checking for traffic

D.Rely on a headlight flash to make approaching drivers wait

Explanation: Choose speed and gear before the bend so you can steer smoothly and stop within the visible clear road. A warning signal cannot guarantee that an unseen vehicle has stopped.

9Pedestrians are walking beside a deep roadside drain. An oncoming car prevents you from giving them adequate clearance. What should you do?

A.Maintain speed because you are within the limit

B.Use the horn so they move closer to the drain

C.Slow down and wait behind them until you can pass safely

D.Pass with a small clearance while watching the oncoming car

Explanation: Wait when the available road width does not permit a safe pass. Pedestrians may have nowhere safe to step aside and may move unpredictably.

10You intend to turn right across oncoming traffic from a two-way road. Which sequence is safest?

A.Signal, then turn as soon as following traffic slows

B.Check mirrors, signal, position safely left of the centre line and wait for a suitable oncoming gap

C.Move across the centre line before signalling

D.Wait near the left kerb and make a wide turn without another mirror check

Explanation: Observation and a clear signal should precede safe positioning for the turn. Yield to conflicting traffic and check the destination road before completing the manoeuvre.

About the Seychelles Driving Theory Exam

Independent English-language MCQ study adaptation by OpenExamPrep for the Seychelles Driving Theory Test and related driver knowledge. Study vehicle classes, observation, junction decisions, common sign meanings, speed and stopping calculations, wet-weather control and vehicle safety. The official pathway includes theory and practical driving assessment. This bank is not an official paper, official translation, simulation of the assessment's language or format, or a substitute for practical instruction. Official delivery languages were not identified by name in the primary sources reviewed; ask the Department about current language options. General driving-safety references support the safety scenarios without importing UK legal thresholds into Seychelles law.

Exam sponsor: Department of Land Transport and Seychelles Police; SLA issues driving licences. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Digital driving theory assessment in the learner licensing pathway. Government guidance also describes medical and learner-permit requirements followed by separate off-road and on-road competency tests. A current weighted blueprint, detailed item specification, assignment requirement or oral component was not verified; confirm current arrangements with the Department and Police.

Time Limit

Current duration not verified; confirm when booking

Passing Score

Current numerical pass mark not verified; confirm with the Department of Land Transport

Exam / Certification Fees

Theory test fee not verified. SLA's separate local driving licence fee is SCR 500 for 10 years.

Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

Seychelles Driving Theory: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practise observation and controlled manoeuvres with a qualified instructor as well as studying theory.

2Treat every maximum speed as a ceiling, adjusting for visibility, road width and vulnerable road users.

3Work through the supplied assumptions in calculation questions; illustrative speeds do not establish a local legal limit.

4Use current Seychelles signs, instructions and official advice when driving; supplementary safety references are not Seychelles legislation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Seychelles theory paper?

No. It is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation. The topic proportions describe this bank, not an official exam weighting, and the questions do not reproduce an official paper.

Is the theory test still 25 questions in one hour at SIDOL?

That arrangement was reported when digital testing was introduced in 2021. The current official sources reviewed did not reconfirm the count, duration or exclusive venue, so confirm them directly when booking.

Which languages can I use in the official assessment?

A government budget document reports three languages but does not name them. This bank is in English and does not establish that an official English sitting or translation is available; confirm the options with the Department.

Does passing these questions qualify me to drive?

No. Government guidance describes learner-permit and medical stages and separate off-road and on-road driving tests. SLA requires the applicable competency evidence before issuing a driving licence.

Is SCR 500 the theory test fee?

No. SCR 500 is SLA's published fee for a local driving licence valid for 10 years. The current theory assessment fee was not verified.
