1Which minimum age and driving experience does SLA publish for Class 3 taxi drivers?

A.24 years old and at least five years of driving experience

B.18 years old and at least one year of driving experience

C.21 years old and at least three years of driving experience

D.24 years old with no prior driving experience

Explanation: SLA lists Class 3 taxis from age 24 with five years or more of driving experience. Both requirements apply; meeting one does not remove the other.

2Under regulation 5(1)(c) of the Licences (Road Transport) Regulations, which certificate is required for a taxi licence application?

A.A learner theory attendance certificate alone

B.A certificate from the Commissioner of Police confirming the applicant passed the regulation 50 special driving test

C.A vehicle inspection certificate in place of a driver test certificate

D.An International Driving Permit in place of the special test certificate

Explanation: Regulation 5(1)(c) expressly requires the Commissioner's certificate for the special driving test under regulation 50. Documents about learner theory, vehicle condition or overseas driving serve different purposes.

3What does the medical certificate specified in regulation 5(1)(b) for a taxi applicant establish?

A.That the taxi's brakes meet the inspection standard

B.That the applicant has passed the practical test

C.That the applicant is physically fit to drive a taxi without a disease or disability making that driving dangerous to the public

D.That the applicant holds suitable passenger insurance

Explanation: The certificate addresses the applicant's physical fitness for taxi driving. It does not replace separate evidence of driving competence, vehicle condition or insurance.

4Who issues the taxi suitability and safety certificate specified in regulation 5(1)(e)?

A.The vehicle owner acting without a garage licence

B.The applicant's motor insurer

C.The applicant's driving instructor

D.The holder of a garage owner licence

Explanation: The regulation specifies a certificate from the holder of a garage owner licence. It concerns the vehicle's suitability, equipment and safe condition for use as a taxi.

5Which pair matches SLA's published minimum ages for Class 5 private omnibus and Class 6 public omnibus drivers?

A.Class 5: 18; Class 6: 24

B.Class 5: 24; Class 6: 18

C.Both classes: 18

D.Both classes: 24

Explanation: SLA lists Class 5 private omnibuses from age 18 and Class 6 public omnibuses from age 24. A shared vehicle description does not make the driver age requirements identical.

6A driver starts acquiring driving experience at age 22. Assuming continuous experience, at what age will both published Class 3 age and experience minima first be met?

A.24

B.25

C.26

D.27

Explanation: Five years of experience from age 22 is completed at age 27. The driver has already reached the minimum age of 24 by then, so both conditions are first met at 27.

7A Class 2 driver reaches age 24 and wants to drive taxis. Which conclusion is correct?

A.Age alone automatically adds Class 3 to the licence

B.The driver must obtain the appropriate class authorisation and meet the taxi competency requirements

C.A taxi roof sign upgrades the driver's licence

D.A vehicle insurance policy replaces the driving authorisation

Explanation: Driver authorisation, competency evidence and taxi licensing are separate from age eligibility. Regulation 7 addresses vehicle-specific driving control, and regulation 5(1)(c) specifies the special test certificate for taxi applicants.

8SLA's taxi licence condition requires at least 56 vehicle operating hours each week. If operation is spread equally over six days, what is the minimum average per operating day?

A.8 hours

B.9 hours

C.9 hours 20 minutes

D.10 hours 20 minutes

Explanation: 56 ÷ 6 is 9 and one-third hours, or 9 hours 20 minutes. This is a vehicle operating requirement and does not remove the need for driver rest or appropriately authorised relief arrangements.

9A taxi licence holder is offered another job. What does SLA's published taxi licence condition require concerning other employment?

A.Permission from the Licensing Authority

B.Only the employer's consent

C.Only consent from a relief driver

D.Nothing if the taxi is operated for 56 hours

Explanation: SLA states that, except with its permission, the holder shall not engage in other employment, trade, business or office. Meeting the operating-hours condition does not itself grant that permission.

10Under SLA's published Road Transport (Taxi Driver) License condition, who must own the taxi vehicle?

A.The taxi licence holder

B.Any person who allows the applicant to borrow it

C.The applicant's insurer

D.The applicant's nominated relief driver

Explanation: SLA's condition states that the licence holder shall be the owner of the taxi vehicle. Permission to borrow someone else's vehicle does not meet that stated condition.

About the Seychelles Taxi / PSV Exam

Independent English-language MCQ study adaptation by OpenExamPrep for knowledge and decisions relevant to Seychelles taxi and public vehicle licensing. The Road Transport (Taxi Driver) License application requires evidence of passing the special driving test under regulation 50, with separate medical, insurance, vehicle and licensing requirements. Study Class 3 eligibility, operator duties, safe passenger service, illustrative fare calculations, omnibus handling and taxi insurance. This is not an official translation, official-format simulation or substitute for practical driving assessment. Official assessment languages and a detailed weighted blueprint were not verified. Taxi-specific application rules in these questions must not be treated as universal Class 5 or Class 6 requirements.

Exam sponsor: Commissioner of Police for the special driving test; SLA for licensing. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

The licensing pathway includes a special driving test and medical fitness requirements. Taxi applications also require registration, a current driving licence, insurance and garage suitability evidence under regulation 5. These licensing checks are distinct from the driver assessment; a separate mandatory written paper, oral examination, assignment or case study was not confirmed in the official sources reviewed.

Time Limit

Current special driving test duration not verified; confirm with the Police

Passing Score

Must pass the special driving test; numerical scoring threshold not verified

Exam / Certification Fees

Special driving test fee not verified. Separate taxi licence: SCR 100 application processing and SCR 500 per year; these are not the test fee or a complete setup cost.

Exam sponsor website

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

Seychelles Taxi / PSV: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practise driving and passenger handling with suitable instruction as well as reviewing knowledge questions.

2Distinguish a driver's class authorisation from the vehicle, operator and insurance requirements.

3Use the current SLA licence conditions when older published guidance differs.

4Treat illustrative meter rates and model assumptions as exercise inputs, not local tariffs or mandatory technical standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official written taxi or PSV test?

No. It is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation. Regulation 5(1)(c) requires a certificate of passing the regulation 50 special driving test, and these MCQs do not simulate or replace that practical assessment.

Are all taxi requirements also omnibus requirements?

No. SLA distinguishes Class 3 taxis, Class 5 private omnibuses and Class 6 public omnibuses. The five-year experience requirement is published for Class 3, and taxi-specific application evidence must not be generalised to all omnibus applicants.

Are the fare figures in the questions current official rates?

No. Fare calculation questions explicitly supply illustrative rates. Check the current authorised tariff rather than using these exercise figures to charge passengers.

Which languages are available for the official assessment?

Named official language options were not verified in the sources reviewed. Confirm with the Police. This English study bank is not an official translation or a simulation of the assessment's language environment.

What do the published SCR 100 and SCR 500 figures cover?

They cover taxi application processing and the annual taxi licence respectively. The special driving test fee was not verified, and vehicle, insurance and other costs are separate.

Do these topic proportions reproduce an official blueprint?

No. They describe this independent study bank. No weighted official blueprint or detailed special-test scoring rubric was verified.
