Angola Driving Code Theory study plan
Angola Driving Code Theory · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Road signs, signals and markings
Classify every Angolan road sign into its shape/colour family (danger, regulation, information, priority) and state the driver action each demands
Recall the meaning of priority signs (stop, give way, priority road) and explain how each overrides general right-of-way rules
Read traffic-light phases including flashing amber and arrow signals, and describe the correct response to each
Interpret common road markings (continuous and broken lines, stop lines, pedestrian crossings, hatched areas) and their legal effect
Your checkpoint
A one-page self-made reference sheet grouping 40+ signs and markings by family with the required driver action beside each, scored at 80%+ on a self-quiz
Road signs, signals and markings & Traffic rules and priority (right of way)
Apply the default right-of-way rule (yield to the right at unmarked junctions) to at least 15 written junction scenarios
Sequence the correct order of movement at junctions controlled by signs, lights, roundabouts and traffic officers
Explain how to enter, circulate and exit a roundabout, including signalling and lane choice
Describe overtaking rules: when it is permitted, when it is forbidden, and how to signal and complete a pass safely
Your checkpoint
A written set of 20 junction and priority scenarios, each answered with a justified order of movement, reviewed against the rule set
Traffic rules and priority (right of way)
State the rules for pedestrian crossings, giving way to pedestrians and to emergency vehicles
Describe speed-limit rules by road type and zone, and identify where limits drop automatically
Explain stopping, parking and waiting restrictions and where they apply
Apply rules for level crossings, buses, and following distance in traffic
Your checkpoint
A 15-question self-test on priority and traffic rules completed closed-book with a written correction note for every wrong answer
Road safety and defensive driving
Identify the main causes of collisions and match each to a preventive defensive-driving habit
Apply the two-second (and wet-road extended) following-distance rule and demonstrate the calculation
Describe hazard perception techniques: scanning, mirror use, blind spots, and anticipating other road users
Explain the effects of speed, weather, night driving and road surface on stopping distance
Your checkpoint
A hazard-perception log of 10 written road scenarios with the hazard identified, the anticipated risk and the defensive action chosen
Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and safety equipment & Driver conduct, alcohol, drugs and fatigue
List the pre-journey vehicle checks (tyres, brakes, lights, fluids, mirrors) and the fault each check detects
Explain the purpose and correct use of seat belts, child restraints, helmets and warning triangles
Describe how alcohol, drugs and medicines impair driving and state the Angolan legal alcohol limit and its penalties
Recognise the signs of driver fatigue and list the countermeasures (rest breaks, avoiding long night drives)
Your checkpoint
A completed pre-journey checklist card plus a written summary of alcohol, drug and fatigue rules with the legal limit and consequences stated
Accidents, first aid and emergency procedures & Traffic law, penalties and documentation
Sequence the correct actions at an accident scene: protect the site, warn traffic, call emergency services, avoid further danger
Demonstrate the basic first-aid priorities (airway, breathing, bleeding, shock) and when not to move an injured person
State the legal duties of a driver involved in an accident (stopping, giving details, reporting)
List the documents a driver must carry and the penalties for driving without licence, insurance or vehicle inspection
Your checkpoint
A written accident-response procedure card covering scene safety, emergency call, first aid and legal reporting steps, checked for completeness
Traffic law, penalties and documentation & Vehicle categories, licensing and environmental awareness
Match vehicle categories to the licence class required and the age/experience conditions attached
Explain the point/penalty system, licence suspension and disqualification consequences for common offences
Describe environmental rules and good practice: emissions, noise, waste oil disposal, economical driving
Identify the documentation and inspection requirements for keeping a vehicle legally on the road
Your checkpoint
A one-page licence-and-penalty matrix mapping vehicle category to licence class, key offences and their penalties, verified against the rule set
Road signs, signals and markings & Traffic rules and priority (right of way) & Road safety and defensive driving & Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and safety equipment & Driver conduct, alcohol, drugs and fatigue & Accidents, first aid and emergency procedures & Traffic law, penalties and documentation & Vehicle categories, licensing and environmental awareness
Complete full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record the score for each attempt
Identify the two weakest domains from mock results and re-drill them with targeted questions
Review every missed question and write the correct rule beside it
Confirm readiness by scoring consistently above the pass threshold across at least three mocks
Your checkpoint
Three timed mock exam score sheets with a written review of every error and a final go/no-go readiness statement
Milestones
Week 2: Score 80%+ on a closed-book quiz covering signs, signals, markings and junction priority
Week 4: Score 75%+ on a mixed quiz of domains 1-3 and submit the hazard-perception log
Week 6: Score 75%+ on a mixed quiz of domains 4-7 and complete the accident-response card
Week 8: Score above the pass threshold on three consecutive timed full mock exams
