Comoros Driving Licence Test study guide
Comoros Driving Licence Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Comoros driving licence (permis de conduire) is the national authorisation to drive a motor vehicle on the roads of Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli. Candidates usually apply through the road safety authority under the Ministry of the Interior and sit a theory paper on the code de la route followed by a practical driving assessment; an examiner may also ask oral questions. The Comoros Driving Licence Test study guide has 10 sections and about 3,881 words.
01Road signs, signals and road markings (signalisation routière)
The Comorian system follows the European (Vienna Convention) model inherited from French practice, so signs are grouped by shape and colour and read the same way as in France. The exam tests whether you can decode a sign instantly, obey an officer ahead of a light, and read markings that permit or forbid a manoeuvre.
398 words, about 2 min02Priority rules, intersections and roundabouts (priorité et carrefours)
Priority in Comoros follows the French model: where nothing else is indicated, the vehicle coming from the right has priority. The exam tests whether you can identify which rule governs a junction - signs, markings, roundabout or officer - and whether you yield cleanly rather than hesitating or pushing through.
361 words, about 2 min03Speed limits, stopping and parking rules
Speed is the most common cause of serious crashes, and the examiner expects you to know the default limits, to read the signs that change them, and to tell a brief stop from parking. Comoros applies the usual European-style hierarchy - a built-up area limit, a rural limit and, where they exist, higher limits on divided roads - always subject to the posted value.
431 words, about 2 min04Vehicle safety, lights, tyres and basic mechanical checks
This domain checks that you can judge whether a vehicle is fit to be driven before you move it, and that you understand the safety equipment you must use. Worn tyres, failed lights and unsecured loads cause a large share of breakdowns and crashes on Comorian roads.
400 words, about 2 min05Driver conduct, courtesy and hazard perception
This domain tests judgement rather than knowledge: how you scan, how much space you leave, when you refuse to overtake and how you behave towards people who make mistakes. Examiners reward anticipation and calm, and penalise aggression, hesitation and surprise.
389 words, about 2 min06Traffic law, offences, penalties and documentation
The examiner wants to see that you know what you must carry, what invalidates your cover and what happens when rules are broken. The checks that catch drivers most often are licence and insurance controls and the periodic technical inspection.
366 words, about 2 min07Alcohol, drugs, fatigue and fitness to drive
This domain tests blunt facts: alcohol and drugs impair judgement before you notice, and fatigue is a physical state you cannot talk yourself out of. The exam expects you to recognise the warning signs and to have a personal rule that keeps you out of the driver's seat.
388 words, about 2 min08First aid, emergencies and accident procedure
The exam tests the order of actions after a crash, what you must not do to an injured person, and how to report an accident properly. Panic and improvisation cause more harm than good.
382 words, about 2 min09Vulnerable road users and shared road space
Pedestrians, children, cyclists, motorcyclists and the elderly have little protection and often behave unpredictably; the exam rewards drivers who expect that. In Comoros, pedestrians walking along the road edge, motorbikes and taxis stopping anywhere, and livestock are everyday hazards.
367 words, about 2 min10Practical driving assessment (vehicle control and manoeuvres)
In the practical test you drive in real traffic while an examiner assesses control, observation, anticipation and respect for the rules. Faults are recorded as minor or serious; a serious fault in observation, control or safety normally fails the test.
