Cambodia Category B Driving Test study guide
Cambodia Category B Driving Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Cambodia Category B licence is the ordinary car licence issued by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) through its General Department of Land Transport. It authorises you to drive a private passenger car or light vehicle on Cambodian roads, and it is the credential most learners pursue first before later adding categories for heavier vehicles. The Cambodia Category B Driving Test study guide has 9 sections and about 3,106 words.
01Cambodian Traffic Law and Road Regulations
This domain checks the legal skeleton of driving in Cambodia: which side of the road you must use, what you must carry, who must give way, and what the law expects after a collision. The Road Traffic Law sets right-hand traffic, licence categories, speed and alcohol limits, compulsory helmets and seat belts, and the penalties that follow breaches.
377 words, about 2 min02Traffic Signs, Signals, and Road Markings
Signs, signals and markings form a silent language. The exam tests whether you can read it in the correct order of authority and apply it at a real junction.
400 words, about 2 min03Safe Driving Principles and Defensive Driving
Defensive driving is the habit of assuming other road users will make mistakes and leaving yourself room to react. The exam tests following distance, observation, overtaking judgement, and behaviour in rain, at night and in mixed traffic where motorcycles, cyclos, pedestrians and animals share the carriageway.
336 words, about 2 min04Vehicle Controls and Basic Vehicle Handling
This domain checks that you can operate the controls smoothly and know what the vehicle is doing underneath you. Examiners look for correct seating and mirror set-up, progressive braking, clutch control at low speed, safe gear choice on hills, and correct responses to ABS, skids and sudden tyre failure.
354 words, about 2 min05Right-of-Way and Intersection Rules
Right-of-way questions ask who goes first when instructions run out. The exam expects you to apply the default rules at uncontrolled junctions, T-junctions, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings and turning manoeuvres, and to recognise when a sign or signal replaces the default.
327 words, about 2 min06Alcohol, Drugs, and Driver Fitness
This domain covers the legal alcohol limit, how alcohol and drugs affect driving, and the fitness issues that quietly cause crashes: fatigue, medication, poor eyesight, heat and illness. Questions often ask you to judge whether a driver is still over the limit, or to identify the only safe response.
324 words, about 2 min07Emergency Procedures and Accident Response
The exam checks the first ten minutes after a collision or breakdown: how to prevent a second crash, what to do for the injured, what to report, and which actions can make things legally and medically worse. Stop, switch off the engine and turn on the hazard lights.
322 words, about 2 min08Vehicle Maintenance and Pre-Drive Checks
Pre-drive checks and basic maintenance catch faults before they become emergencies. The exam tests your walk-around routine, tyre and fluid knowledge, warning-light meanings, and the difference between a legal minimum and a safe standard.
311 words, about 2 min09Licensing, Documentation, and Penalties
This domain covers licence categories, the documents that must be with the vehicle, and the penalties for driving outside the law. It rewards knowing exactly what Category B permits and what evidence you must produce at a checkpoint.
