Open Exam Prep

Dubai RTA heavy vehicle learners must be at least 20, medically fit, pass the required RTA-authorised eye test, train through the RTA driving-licence process, and pass the required Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests. RTA publishes a Truck and Bus Handbook and says the heavy vehicle knowledge test is based on that handbook. The accessible official service text confirms the category, tests, permits, and component fees, but it does not publish a fixed heavy-truck knowledge-test question count, time limit, pass mark, or pass rate; confirm those logistics directly with RTA or the selected institute.

1What minimum age does RTA publish for the Dubai heavy vehicles driving licence category?
A.18 years old
B.20 years old
C.21 years old
D.25 years old
Explanation: RTA lists heavy vehicles as a separate driving licence category and states that the customer must be 20 years old. Light buses and heavy buses use a different published age rule, so the categories should not be mixed.
2Which document does RTA list as required for citizens and Dubai residents requesting a new driving licence?
A.A valid Emirates ID
B.A vehicle export certificate
C.A tyre inspection report
D.A company trade licence for every applicant
Explanation: For citizens and Dubai residents, RTA lists a valid Emirates ID as the required document when requesting a new driving licence. Additional proof may apply to residents with visas issued in other emirates, but Emirates ID remains the core identity document.
3For heavy vehicle drivers, where must the required eye test be completed according to RTA service information?
A.At any private gym
B.At a DHA-accredited and RTA-authorised eye test centre
C.Only at a vehicle testing lane
D.At the truck owner’s workshop
Explanation: RTA says the customer must pass the eye test for the requested category at a Dubai Health Authority accredited centre that is authorised by RTA. The visual standard for heavy vehicles is stricter than for light vehicles.
4Which sequence of tests is part of the RTA driving licence process for heavy vehicle candidates?
A.Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests
B.Only a parking test
C.Only an oral interview
D.A written essay and fuel-economy test
Explanation: RTA service information names Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests in the driving licence process. The knowledge test is only one stage; candidates must also meet the practical testing requirements for the category.
5What does the RTA Truck and Bus Handbook say the heavy vehicle knowledge test is based on?
A.The material in the Truck and Bus Handbook
B.Only private company policy
C.Random questions from foreign licence exams
D.Only vehicle insurance forms
Explanation: The RTA Truck and Bus Handbook states that the knowledge test for a heavy vehicle licence is based on the material in that handbook. It also tells learners to know the general road rules from the Light Motor Vehicle Handbook.
6Which RTA handbook should heavy truck learners also use for general road rules, signs, and markings?
A.The Light Motor Vehicle Handbook
B.A metro passenger guide
C.A marine transport manual
D.A parking tariff brochure
Explanation: The Truck and Bus Handbook says drivers need general knowledge of road rules and points learners to the Light Motor Vehicle Handbook. Heavy-truck theory combines general road rules with heavy-vehicle-specific handling and safety.
7What learning permit fee does RTA publish for heavy vehicles in the new driving licence process?
A.AED 100
B.AED 200
C.AED 500
D.AED 1,000
Explanation: RTA publishes a 200 AED learning permit fee for light buses, heavy buses, light equipment, heavy equipment, and heavy vehicles. Training package fees from institutes are separate and can vary.
8Which vehicle condition should a driver confirm before every heavy-truck trip?
A.That the truck is roadworthy and safe to operate
B.That the radio preset is correct
C.That the load papers are hidden from view
D.That the vehicle is washed even if brakes are defective
Explanation: RTA heavy-vehicle guidance stresses keeping the vehicle in good mechanical condition and conducting daily vehicle inspections. Cosmetic cleanliness cannot make an unsafe steering, brake, tyre, or coupling defect acceptable.
9Which item is a pre-trip safety concern on a heavy truck?
A.Brake air pressure or warning systems
B.The driver’s preferred music volume
C.The colour of the seat fabric
D.The brand of the sun visor
Explanation: Brakes are a critical heavy-vehicle system, and the driver must check that braking systems and warnings are fit for use before departure. Heavy vehicles need much more stopping distance, so brake defects are serious.
10Why must a heavy-truck driver know the vehicle height before a route?
A.To avoid striking bridges, signs, roofs, or other overhead hazards
B.To calculate the stereo volume
C.To decide whether a seat belt is needed
D.To choose the colour of the trailer
Explanation: RTA safe-driving tips include knowing the vehicle height, weight, and load limit. Height matters because heavy trucks can hit bridges, tunnels, canopies, wires, or signs that a light vehicle would clear.
