Dominica Driving Test study plan

Identify every regulatory sign shape and colour code (stop, yield, no entry, speed limit, prohibition) and state the required driver action for each without notes

Sort a self-made set of 40 sign descriptions into warning, regulatory, and information categories and explain the sorting rule aloud

Interpret pavement markings - solid vs broken centre lines, edge lines, stop lines, hatched areas - and describe what each permits or forbids

Explain the meaning of the main traffic light aspects, including flashing signals and arrow indications, and what to do if a signal is dark

Draw and label a four-way intersection showing who yields in six scenarios (uncontrolled, stop-sign, left turn, roundabout entry, pedestrian crossing, emergency vehicle approach)

State the default speed limits and safe following-distance rule for dry and wet conditions and apply them to five worked examples

Describe correct overtaking and being-overtaken procedure, including when overtaking is prohibited

Explain parking restrictions near junctions, crossings, bends, and hydrants and list where stopping is illegal

Sequence the full procedure for approaching and negotiating a roundabout, including lane choice and signalling on exit

Explain pedestrian priority rules at marked and unmarked crossings and at junctions when turning

Describe procedures for school zones, bus stops, and passing stationary vehicles that may hide pedestrians

Apply the rules for driving on narrow, hilly, or winding roads, including which vehicle has priority and where to position

Define the six-second following rule and the two-second gap and demonstrate each in a narrated drive or simulated walkthrough

List the main hazard categories (junction, bend, crest, parked cars, pedestrians, animals, wet surface) and state a scan-and-response habit for each

Explain how to handle tailgaters, oncoming vehicles on narrow roads, and sudden obstacles without panic braking

Describe night driving and heavy-rain visibility limits and the correct response (lights, speed reduction, stopping)

Explain the function and correct use of steering, accelerator, brake, clutch, and gears, including hill starts and engine braking

Describe mirror and blind-spot checks before moving off, changing lanes, and reversing, and state the correct seating and mirror setup

List the leading causes of collisions and the specific prevention action for each (speed, distraction, following distance, junction error, overtaking)

Explain what to do at the scene of a collision: stop, warn traffic, assist, exchange details, and report

Perform and document a pre-trip walk-around check: tyres, lights, fluids, wipers, mirrors, and brake feel

Explain tyre tread and pressure checks, warning signs of brake and steering faults, and what to do when a warning light appears

Describe passenger and load safety rules, seat belts, and child restraint expectations

Explain how road surface, weather, and vehicle condition combine to raise stopping distance, with two worked examples

State the legal alcohol limit concept, the effects of alcohol and drugs on reaction time and judgement, and the penalties for driving under the influence

List the medicines and conditions that impair driving and describe the correct response (ask a pharmacist, do not drive)

Explain fatigue, distraction (phone use), and illness as fitness-to-drive issues and give a rule for each

Outline the licensing pathway and key legal duties: licence classes, carrying a licence, insurance, vehicle registration, and reporting obligations

Complete three full-length timed mock tests and record the score for each

Re-study every domain scoring below 80% and rewrite the missed items as corrected statements

Rehearse the sign-and-marking cheat sheet and the cockpit drill aloud until fluent

Simulate the practical test route verbally: move off, junction, roundabout, overtake, park, and stop, stating each check
