BRTA Non-Professional Driving Licence Test study guide
BRTA Non-Professional Driving Licence Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The BRTA Non-Professional Driving Licence is the credential a private motorist in Bangladesh obtains to drive a personal vehicle legally. Unlike a professional licence, which covers drivers who carry passengers or goods for hire, the non-professional licence is aimed at ordinary car, motorcycle and light-vehicle owners who drive for their own purposes. The BRTA Non-Professional Driving Licence Test study guide has 9 sections and about 2,535 words.
01Road Signs, Signals, and Markings
Road signs in Bangladesh fall into three families: regulatory (red circles, prohibitory; blue circles, mandatory), warning (triangles with red borders), and informatory (usually rectangles in blue or green). Learn shapes before symbols, because a question may describe a sign in words rather than show it.
303 words, about 2 min02Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way
Right-of-way rules exist to make drivers predictable. At an unmarked junction, the general principle is to yield to traffic already on the main road and to vehicles approaching from your right where no sign or signal controls the crossing.
293 words, about 1 min03Vehicle Controls and Safe Driving Technique
Safe control begins before the engine starts: adjust the seat so the clutch pedal can be pressed fully with a slight knee bend, set mirrors to show a sliver of your own vehicle, and fasten the seat belt. Know the pedal order - clutch on the left, brake in the middle, accelerator on the right - and the gear pattern of the vehicle you are driving.

272 words, about 1 min06Vehicle Maintenance and Pre-Trip Checks
A pre-trip check takes minutes and prevents breakdowns. Walk around the vehicle: look for tyre damage, fluid leaks, loose parts, and obstructions.
272 words, about 1 min07First Aid and Emergency Response
At a crash scene, the priority order is: protect yourself and others, then call for help, then give first aid within your training. Stop safely, switch on hazard lights, and place a warning triangle behind the vehicle on the road.
279 words, about 1 min08Environmental Awareness and Fuel-Efficient Driving
Fuel-efficient driving reduces cost and emissions at the same time. Smooth driving is the core principle: accelerate gently, maintain a steady speed, and anticipate stops so you can ease off the accelerator rather than brake hard.
271 words, about 1 min09Driver Fitness, Attitude, and Defensive Driving
Fitness to drive covers vision, hearing, health, fatigue, alcohol, and emotion. A driver must be able to see clearly, react quickly, and concentrate.
