Continue in the practice tool above to load more questions, 50 at a time.

Question 1Incident Environment

In a crash scene, which sequence best matches the basic safety priority?

  1. Protect the scene, alert emergency services if needed, and assist within your ability Correct answer.
  2. Remove every helmet immediately
  3. Move all injured people before warning traffic
  4. Argue fault before calling for help

Explanation

Common road-safety teaching and DGT test content emphasize signalling/protecting, alerting and helping without worsening injuries. A motorcyclist should make the scene safe first and avoid unnecessary movement of casualties.

Question 2Vehicle Load

A moped rider carries a tall box that blocks the mirror. What is the safest legal conclusion from DGT guidance?

  1. Do not ride like that because nothing should prevent a correct field of vision through mirrors Correct answer.
  2. It is allowed if the box is light
  3. It is allowed if the rider rides below 20 km/h
  4. It is allowed only on the shoulder

Explanation

DGT says moped riders must observe traffic directly or through mirrors and must do nothing that prevents a correct field of vision, such as carrying an object that blocks mirror observation. Weight does not solve a visibility obstruction.

Question 3Spanish Am Framework

What is the minimum age to obtain Spain's DGT permiso AM?

  1. 14 years
  2. 15 years Correct answer.
  3. 16 years
  4. 18 years

Explanation

DGT lists 15 years as the minimum age for permiso AM. You may prepare earlier, but the AM permit itself is tied to that legal minimum age.

Question 4Spanish Am Framework

Which vehicle group is covered by the standard DGT permiso AM?

  1. Two- or three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles Correct answer.
  2. Motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11 kW only
  3. Passenger cars up to 3,500 kg only
  4. All motorcycles regardless of power

Explanation

DGT describes AM as the category for ciclomotores of two or three wheels and light quadricycles. Motorcycles and passenger cars require other permit classes.

Question 5Spanish Am Framework

What is the key limitation of AM limitado compared with standard AM?

  1. It allows only motorway riding
  2. It does not allow ordinary two-wheel mopeds Correct answer.
  3. It is valid only for electric bicycles
  4. It requires a class B licence first

Explanation

DGT lists AM limitado for three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles, and states that it does not allow ciclomotores in the ordinary AM sense. The practical manoeuvres also differ for the limited category.

Question 6Spanish Am Framework

Which existing Spanish driving licence also lets a driver operate a ciclomotor, according to DGT moped guidance?

  1. Class B Correct answer.
  2. ADR only
  3. LCM only
  4. D1 only

Explanation

DGT's moped page says a ciclomotor may be driven with permiso AM or with a class B driving licence. The driver still has to follow the moped-specific circulation rules.

Question 7Spanish Am Framework

What does DGT say about its online practice tests for theory preparation?

  1. They require an appointment at Jefatura
  2. They are free and can be used without entering a document number Correct answer.
  3. They replace the official theory exam
  4. They are available only to driving schools

Explanation

DGT says its online test practice is free and does not require registration or a document number. It is for familiarising yourself with the format and question style, not for replacing the official exam.

Question 8Spanish Am Framework

Which pair of tests does DGT identify for obtaining a new permit such as AM?

  1. Only an eye test
  2. A specific theory test and a practical test Correct answer.
  3. Only a road test in traffic
  4. Only a vehicle-inspection test

Explanation

DGT's general permit guidance says obtaining a new permit requires a theory test and a practical test, with specific manoeuvres in closed circuit where applicable. For AM, DGT specifically points to a closed-circuit manoeuvres test.

Question 9Spanish Am Framework

What must an AM rider carry and show to traffic officers when requested?

  1. A valid driving permit or licence authorising the vehicle Correct answer.
  2. Only a purchase receipt for the helmet
  3. Only a driving-school contract
  4. A class D bus certificate

Explanation

DGT moped guidance says once you obtain the permit you must carry it while driving and show it to traffic officers if requested. The permit also has to be renewed periodically so it does not expire.

Question 10Spanish Am Framework

Which vehicle documents does DGT list as necessary for a ciclomotor to circulate?

  1. Circulation permit, ITV card, and mandatory insurance Correct answer.
  2. Only the sales invoice
  3. Only the municipal tax receipt
  4. A truck tachograph card and ADR card

Explanation

DGT lists the vehicle circulation permit and the technical/ITV card, and says mandatory insurance is necessary to circulate. These are separate from the driver's AM or B authorisation.

Question 11Spanish Am Framework

What maximum speed by construction is part of DGT's definition of a ciclomotor?

  1. 25 km/h
  2. 45 km/h Correct answer.
  3. 70 km/h
  4. 90 km/h

Explanation

DGT describes ciclomotores as vehicles with a maximum construction speed not higher than 45 km/h. This vehicle-design limit is also the key speed number tested in moped circulation rules.

Question 12Spanish Am Framework

What engine-cylinder limit does DGT use when describing ordinary combustion-engine ciclomotores?

  1. 50 cc Correct answer.
  2. 125 cc
  3. 250 cc
  4. 500 cc

Explanation

DGT describes ciclomotores as having an engine cylinder capacity not greater than 50 cc. Larger motorcycles fall into other categories such as A1, A2, or A.

Question 13Spanish Am Framework

What is the general maximum speed for a ciclomotor in DGT moped guidance?

  1. 30 km/h
  2. 45 km/h Correct answer.
  3. 70 km/h
  4. 100 km/h

Explanation

DGT states that ciclomotores may not circulate at more than 45 km/h. The rider must still adapt speed to traffic, road, visibility, and weather conditions.

Question 14Spanish Am Framework

Are ciclomotores allowed on autopistas or autovias under DGT moped guidance?

  1. Yes, if they stay on the shoulder
  2. Yes, only during daylight
  3. No, they are prohibited from autopistas and autovias Correct answer.
  4. Yes, if the engine is electric

Explanation

DGT states that ciclomotores are prohibited from circulating on autopistas, autovias, and roads signed as prohibited to mopeds. The prohibition is not removed by riding slowly on the shoulder.

Question 15Spanish Am Framework

Which statement best reflects the official status of DGT's online practice tests?

  1. They are useful for format familiarity but are not the official scored exam Correct answer.
  2. They automatically issue permiso AM after enough correct answers
  3. They are legally valid only if taken in a driving school classroom
  4. They replace the closed-circuit manoeuvres test

Explanation

DGT says its online tests use a format and question quantity similar to real theory exams and help candidates become familiar with the application. They are free preparation resources, not the scored official exam or practical test.

Question 16Spanish Am Framework

A person already holds A1. What does the current driver regulation say about AM?

  1. Obtaining A1 implies the grant of AM Correct answer.
  2. A1 cancels AM permanently
  3. A1 has no relationship to AM vehicles
  4. A1 is valid only for light quadricycles

Explanation

The current Reglamento General de Conductores states that obtaining the A1 permit implies the grant of AM. DGT's permit page also presents A1 as allowing vehicles of AM.

Question 17Spanish Am Framework

A rider sees a sign prohibiting ciclomotores on a road that is not an autovia. What should the rider do?

  1. Do not enter that road with the moped Correct answer.
  2. Enter if the shoulder is wide
  3. Enter only below 25 km/h
  4. Enter if carrying insurance

Explanation

DGT moped guidance says ciclomotores are prohibited not only on autopistas and autovias but also on any other type of road signed as prohibited to mopeds. A wide shoulder or low speed does not override a prohibition sign.

Question 18Spanish Am Framework

A light quadricycle driver asks where the vehicle may circulate. Which answer matches DGT quad guidance?

  1. All road types except autopistas and autovias Correct answer.
  2. Only sidewalks
  3. Only autopistas
  4. No public roads because it has a yellow plate

Explanation

DGT states that light quadricycles may circulate on all types of roads except autopistas and autovias. They must still be registered, insured, ITV-compliant, and driven with an appropriate permit such as AM.

Question 19Spanish Am Framework

A rider is stopped by traffic officers and has the moped permit in the miDGT app but not the physical card. What should the rider know from Sede/DGT digital-document guidance?

  1. miDGT can show driving and vehicle documents with legal validity within Spain Correct answer.
  2. The app is valid only outside Spain
  3. Digital documents are valid only for buses
  4. The app removes the need for the vehicle to have insurance

Explanation

Sede DGT notes that miDGT includes the driving licence and vehicle circulation permit with the same legal validity as physical documents within Spanish territory. This does not remove any underlying requirement for valid authorization, ITV, or insurance.

Question 20Spanish Am Framework

A moped rider is tempted to ride on a road signed as prohibited to ciclomotores because the destination is only 500 metres away. What is the correct reasoning?

  1. The prohibition sign controls access regardless of trip length Correct answer.
  2. Short distance makes the sign advisory
  3. It is allowed if the rider walks the moped with the engine running
  4. It is allowed if traffic is light

Explanation

DGT moped guidance states that ciclomotores are prohibited from roads signed as prohibited to mopeds. A short remaining distance does not turn a prohibition into advice.

Question 21Spanish Am Framework

A rider plans a route that starts on a permitted conventional road, then joins an autovia for one exit, then returns to a local road. Which part is unlawful for a ciclomotor?

  1. The autovia segment Correct answer.
  2. The conventional-road segment
  3. The local-road segment
  4. None, if the rider uses lights

Explanation

DGT moped guidance prohibits ciclomotores from autopistas and autovias. Lights, insurance, and documents are necessary but do not make the autovia segment legal.

Question 22Spanish Am Framework

A candidate confuses AM and AM limitado practical tests. Which pairing is correct from DGT/BOE sources?

  1. Standard AM uses moped manoeuvres A and B; AM limitado uses manoeuvres for three-wheel mopeds/light quadricycles including parking-type exercises Correct answer.
  2. Both categories use only an open-road car test
  3. AM limitado has no practical test
  4. Standard AM uses a bus reversing manoeuvre

Explanation

DGT's AM manoeuvres page describes standard AM as linked manoeuvres B and A for ciclomotores, and the current regulation distinguishes AM limitado with manoeuvres for three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles. The practical test depends on the vehicle type.

Question 23Spanish Am Framework

In the standard AM closed-circuit test, what are the two linked DGT manoeuvres for ciclomotores?

  1. Circular on a limited-width strip and zigzag between posts at low speed Correct answer.
  2. Emergency motorway merge and hill start
  3. Parallel parking a car and reversing around a corner
  4. Loading cargo and coupling a semi-trailer

Explanation

DGT's AM manoeuvres page states that the test has two linked manoeuvres: circulating on a limited-width strip and zigzagging between posts at low speed. These test balance, control, and low-speed precision.

Question 24Spanish Am Framework

During the AM limited-width-strip manoeuvre, which mistake would directly conflict with DGT's description?

  1. Leaving the delimited strip or losing balance Correct answer.
  2. Riding at low, uniform speed
  3. Using first gear where applicable
  4. Maintaining control through the strip

Explanation

DGT describes the manoeuvre as riding at low, uniform speed through a strip of limited width and length without leaving it or losing balance. The strip is delimited so departures can be detected.

Question 25Spanish Am Framework

During the AM zigzag manoeuvre, which action would conflict with DGT's description?

  1. Knocking down or displacing a post Correct answer.
  2. Alternating right and left turns around five posts
  3. Starting by the right of the first post as shown in the DGT diagram
  4. Keeping low speed and control

Explanation

DGT describes the zigzag as alternating right and left turns around five posts without leaving the delimited zone and without running over, moving, or knocking down a post. Contact with the posts shows loss of precision.

Question 26Motorcycle

When is a protective helmet mandatory for the driver and passenger of a two-wheel ciclomotor?

  1. Only outside towns
  2. Only above 30 km/h
  3. On all types of roads, urban and interurban Correct answer.
  4. Only during the first year after licensing

Explanation

DGT states that an approved helmet is mandatory for the driver and passenger of a ciclomotor on all types of roads, both inside and outside town. The helmet must be properly fastened to protect effectively.

Question 27Motorcycle

What mirror is mandatory on a ciclomotor according to DGT guidance?

  1. A left-side rear-view mirror Correct answer.
  2. Only a right-side mirror
  3. No mirror if the route is urban
  4. A reversing camera instead of any mirror

Explanation

DGT states that ciclomotores must have a rear-view mirror on the left side; another mirror on the right is optional. For some three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles with bodywork covering the driver, an interior rear-view mirror is also mandatory.

Question 28Motorcycle

A moped is behind a car on a wet road. What following-distance principle does DGT moped guidance require?

  1. Leave enough distance to stop without colliding if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly Correct answer.
  2. Follow as closely as possible to be seen
  3. Keep exactly one metre at every speed
  4. Use the horn instead of leaving distance

Explanation

DGT says a moped rider must leave enough distance to stop without colliding if the vehicle ahead brakes hard. The distance depends on speed, road surface, tyres, brakes, rider ability, and visibility.

Question 29Motorcycle

Why is an approved full-face helmet generally safer than an open helmet according to DGT moped guidance?

  1. It protects the face, chin, and eyes as well as the head Correct answer.
  2. It legally permits higher moped speed
  3. It removes the need for mirrors
  4. It makes alcohol limits higher

Explanation

DGT explains that full-face helmets are generally safer because they protect more of the head and face, including the chin and eyes. The helmet must also be approved and correctly fastened.

Question 30Motorcycle

A rider chooses a dark helmet for night use and adds paint and stickers after purchase. What DGT safety point is most relevant?

  1. Clear or bright visibility and avoiding modifications that can harm helmet materials are safer choices Correct answer.
  2. Dark painted helmets are mandatory
  3. Stickers improve every helmet's absorption ability
  4. Helmet colour is the only safety feature that matters

Explanation

DGT advises helmets with light or bright colours to improve visibility and warns that paint or stickers can affect helmet materials. Fit, homologation, fastening, and impact absorption remain critical too.

Question 31Motorcycle

What is the main function of a helmet's inner and outer shells in a crash, according to DGT guidance?

  1. Absorbing and distributing a large part of the impact energy Correct answer.
  2. Making the moped faster
  3. Replacing the need to brake
  4. Guaranteeing no injury at any speed

Explanation

DGT explains that a helmet's basic function is to absorb much of the energy in a strong impact and distribute force, especially through its internal and external shell design. It reduces risk, but cannot guarantee no injury.

Question 32Motorcycle

A moped rider is using a protected, belt-equipped light quadricycle and a two-wheel moped on different days. Which statement best applies the helmet rules?

  1. Helmet is normally mandatory on the two-wheel moped; in the protected belt-equipped vehicle, the belt must be used and the helmet exemption applies Correct answer.
  2. Helmet is never required for AM vehicles
  3. A seat belt on one vehicle removes helmet duties on every other moped
  4. Helmet is required only outside towns on both vehicles

Explanation

DGT's moped guidance gives a normal helmet requirement for ciclomotor driver and passenger on all roads, with an exception for vehicles with a protective structure and seat belts, where the belt must be used. The exception is vehicle-specific, not a general AM waiver.

Question 33Priority Signs

A ciclomotor has a protective structure and seat belts. According to DGT guidance, what safety equipment must the driver use?

  1. The seat belt, with the helmet exemption applying in that protected vehicle Correct answer.
  2. No safety equipment at all
  3. A helmet plus no seat belt
  4. Only gloves

Explanation

DGT explains that when a ciclomotor has a protective structure and is fitted with seat belts, the belt must be used and the helmet exemption applies. This is a narrow exception, not the normal two-wheel rule.

Question 34Priority Signs

Where should a ciclomotor ride on an interurban road when the right shoulder is passable and sufficient?

  1. On the right shoulder Correct answer.
  2. In the left lane
  3. In the centre of the opposite lane
  4. On the sidewalk

Explanation

DGT states that ciclomotores should ride on the right shoulder if it is passable and sufficient. If it is not, they use only the essential part of the roadway.

Question 35Priority Signs

At an unregulated intersection with no priority sign, which vehicle normally has priority?

  1. The vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.
  2. The fastest vehicle
  3. The vehicle with the loudest horn
  4. The moped in all cases

Explanation

DGT moped guidance states that if no sign regulates priority, or the intersection is marked with right-side-priority danger signage, you must yield to vehicles approaching from the right. Vehicle type alone does not give the moped automatic priority.

Question 36Priority Signs

Who has priority in a roundabout under DGT moped guidance?

  1. Vehicles already inside the roundabout Correct answer.
  2. Vehicles entering from the right in every case
  3. The smallest vehicle
  4. The vehicle that flashes headlights first

Explanation

DGT states that vehicles already in the roundabout have priority over those intending to enter. A moped rider should slow, observe, and enter only when safe.

Question 37Priority Signs

At a marked pedestrian crossing without traffic lights, what should an AM rider do if pedestrians are crossing or intending to cross?

  1. Stop and let them pass Correct answer.
  2. Sound the horn and maintain speed
  3. Pass behind them without slowing
  4. Use the opposite lane to avoid stopping

Explanation

DGT guidance says drivers must approach pedestrian crossings at moderate speed and stop when pedestrians are crossing or intend to cross. This is especially important for mopeds because pedestrians are vulnerable and moped stopping distance still depends on road grip and reaction time.

Question 38Priority Signs

A rider removes the silencer and rides with an open exhaust. Which answer matches DGT moped guidance?

  1. It is prohibited to circulate with a free exhaust or emit excessive noise, gases, or pollutants Correct answer.
  2. It is allowed if the route is less than 5 km
  3. It is allowed for AM because the engine is small
  4. It is required on interurban roads

Explanation

DGT moped guidance prohibits riding with a free exhaust and emitting noise, gases, or other pollutants. Small engine size does not remove the environmental and safety rule.

Question 39Priority Signs

A rider approaches an intersection and sees a STOP sign controlling the moped's road. What should the rider do?

  1. Stop and yield according to the sign before proceeding safely Correct answer.
  2. Apply the right-side rule instead and ignore the sign
  3. Enter because mopeds are small
  4. Only slow if another moped is present

Explanation

DGT moped guidance says if priority is regulated by signs, the rider must obey the priority established by the sign. The general right-side rule applies only where priority is not regulated by signs or signals.

Question 40Priority Signs

At a narrow section with no signs, two vehicles from opposite directions arrive at the same time and cannot pass together. Under DGT guidance, what decides priority if there is doubt?

  1. The vehicle that would have more difficulty reversing Correct answer.
  2. The smaller vehicle always
  3. The vehicle with the newest permit
  4. The vehicle carrying no passenger

Explanation

DGT explains that if there is no signal in a narrow section, the vehicle that arrived first has preference; in case of doubt, the vehicle that has more difficulty manoeuvring backwards has preference. It also notes that motorcycles, mopeds, and bicycles must yield to other vehicles in this context.

Question 41Priority Signs

At the same unsigned narrow section, a ciclomotor and a van meet and neither clearly arrived first. What should the moped rider expect under DGT guidance?

  1. The ciclomotor must yield to the van Correct answer.
  2. The van must always yield to the ciclomotor
  3. Both should reverse at the same time
  4. The rider may pass on the sidewalk

Explanation

DGT moped guidance states that in narrow sections motorcycles, ciclomotores, and bicycles must yield to all other vehicles. The rider should slow early and create space rather than forcing the conflict.

Question 42Priority Signs

A level crossing has barriers down or moving and red flashing lights. What must the moped rider do?

  1. Stop behind other vehicles until the barrier is fully raised and passage is allowed Correct answer.
  2. Ride around the barrier if no train is visible
  3. Accelerate because mopeds are small
  4. Stop only if carrying a passenger

Explanation

DGT says that at level crossings with closed or moving barriers, vehicles must stop one behind another until the barrier is fully raised and, where applicable, the signal permits passage. A moped's small size does not reduce the danger from a train.

Question 43Priority Signs

At an unbarriered level crossing with no lights, what should an AM rider do before crossing?

  1. Cross only after making sure no train is approaching Correct answer.
  2. Cross without slowing if the road is empty
  3. Stop on the tracks to listen
  4. Follow the vehicle ahead without checking

Explanation

DGT guidance says that at level crossings without barriers, semibarriers, or signals, drivers must not cross until they have made sure no train is approaching. A moped rider should never stop on the tracks.

Question 44Priority Signs

A traffic light at a pedestrian crossing shows one or two flashing yellow lights while you are turning. What does DGT guidance require?

  1. Use extreme caution and stop if necessary to let pedestrians pass Correct answer.
  2. Treat it as a green light with no need to check
  3. Sound the horn and continue at 45 km/h
  4. Ignore pedestrians unless they are on a marked zebra stripe

Explanation

DGT guidance says when turning or when flashing yellow lights are active, the driver must be especially cautious and stop if necessary to allow pedestrians to pass. Flashing yellow is a warning to proceed carefully, not a priority grant.

Question 45Priority Signs

A bus stops at a marked stop and passengers are between the bus and the sidewalk. What should an AM rider do?

  1. Slow and give priority to those pedestrians Correct answer.
  2. Pass close to the bus to save space
  3. Use the horn because passengers are outside a crossing
  4. Ride between the bus and sidewalk

Explanation

DGT vulnerable-user guidance notes that pedestrians going to or from public transport at a marked stop have priority when between the vehicle and the pedestrian area or refuge. Two-wheel riders should anticipate people stepping out from around large vehicles.

Question 46Priority Signs

A cyclist group is already entering a roundabout and the first cyclist has entered. How should a moped rider treat the group?

  1. Yield to the group as a unit Correct answer.
  2. Enter between cyclists if there is a gap
  3. Use the horn until they stop
  4. Pass on the inside edge of the roundabout

Explanation

DGT guidance says cyclists have priority over motor vehicles when riding in a group if the first cyclist has entered the intersection or roundabout. Treating the group as a unit prevents splitting and side-impact crashes.

Question 47Priority Signs

A driver is leaving a garage and must cross the sidewalk before entering the road. What should the AM rider expect regarding pedestrians?

  1. Pedestrians on the sidewalk have priority and the vehicle entering must yield Correct answer.
  2. The vehicle leaving the garage has priority because it is moving onto the road
  3. The moped should overtake on the sidewalk
  4. Pedestrians lose priority if there is no zebra crossing

Explanation

DGT vulnerable-user guidance stresses that when a vehicle joins the road from a garage and crosses pedestrian space, it is incorporating into traffic and must yield to users it encounters. AM riders should anticipate these conflict points near driveways.

Question 48Priority Signs

A rider wants to change lane before an intersection. What sequence best reflects DGT guidance?

  1. Observe traffic, choose the correct lane if needed, signal, adapt speed, and cross only when safe Correct answer.
  2. Signal first and change immediately
  3. Close eyes briefly to avoid distraction
  4. Accelerate and let others adapt

Explanation

DGT lists intersection precautions: observe other users and signs, move to the appropriate lane if necessary, signal lane or direction changes, adapt speed, and proceed only when fully safe. The moped's vulnerability makes the observation stage especially important.

Question 49Priority Signs

A rider wants to join a public-road speed contest on a ciclomotor. What does DGT moped guidance say?

  1. It is prohibited to enter speed competitions on public roads Correct answer.
  2. It is allowed if every rider has AM
  3. It is allowed if the route is empty
  4. It is allowed below 45 km/h

Explanation

DGT moped guidance prohibits entering speed competitions on public roads. The rule is about dangerous use of the public road, not only about the maximum speed number.

Question 50Priority Signs

A rider is in a roundabout and a car wants to enter from the right. The rider is already circulating inside. Which answer best combines DGT roundabout and moped-defensive guidance?

  1. The rider has priority but should still be visible, predictable, and ready for the car's mistake Correct answer.
  2. The car has priority because it is on the right
  3. The moped must stop inside the roundabout for every entering vehicle
  4. The rider should accelerate aggressively to prove priority

Explanation

DGT states vehicles already in a roundabout have priority over those entering. Because mopeds are less visible and more fragile, the safe rider still anticipates errors, positions clearly, and avoids relying solely on legal priority.
