Question 1Traffic signs, signals and road markings

On a Kuwaiti road, you see a circular sign with a red border and a black motorcycle symbol inside. What does this sign mean?

  1. Motorcyclists must wear helmets from here on
  2. Motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding past this point Correct answer.
  3. Motorcycles only may use this lane
  4. A motorcycle repair workshop is ahead

Explanation

A circular sign with a red ring is a prohibitory sign; the symbol inside shows what is forbidden. A motorcycle inside the red ring therefore bans motorcycles from continuing beyond the sign, and no other class of vehicle is affected by it.

Question 2Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A triangular sign with a red border shows a picture of a winding road. What is the driver being told?

  1. Overtaking is forbidden for the next kilometre
  2. A series of bends lies ahead, so reduce speed Correct answer.
  3. A vehicle recovery area is ahead
  4. Winding roads are closed to traffic

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs, and their purpose is to alert drivers to a hazard ahead. The winding-road symbol warns of successive bends, so the correct response is to slow down before reaching them.

Question 3Traffic signs, signals and road markings

What is the meaning of a solid white line running along the centre of a two-way road?

  1. Vehicles may cross it whenever the road is clear
  2. Vehicles may cross it only to enter a property
  3. Vehicles may use it as a parking boundary
  4. Vehicles must not cross or straddle it Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous centre line is a mandatory road marking that must not be crossed or straddled. It is placed where overtaking or lane changing would be unsafe, so the restriction applies regardless of how clear the road appears.

Question 4Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A traffic officer stands at a junction with his arm raised vertically, palm facing you. What must you do?

  1. Reverse away from the junction
  2. Sound the horn and proceed slowly
  3. Stop and wait for a new signal Correct answer.
  4. Continue if you have already signalled

Explanation

A raised arm pointing upwards is the standard signal for traffic facing the officer to stop. Officer signals override traffic lights and signs, so you must halt and wait until a new instruction is given.

Question 5Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You approach a pedestrian crossing where a flashing amber beacon is mounted on the crossing sign. What does the flashing amber mean?

  1. Pedestrians must wait for a green figure
  2. Traffic must stop immediately
  3. The crossing is out of use
  4. Give way to pedestrians on the crossing Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing amber beacon at a zebra-type crossing warns drivers that pedestrians may be on or entering the crossing. Drivers must slow down and give way to anyone already crossing, rather than being ordered to stop outright.

Question 6Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A blue circular sign shows a white arrow pointing straight ahead. What does it require?

  1. You may turn left if no traffic is present
  2. You must proceed straight ahead only Correct answer.
  3. Straight ahead is recommended but optional
  4. The road ahead is a one-way street

Explanation

Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions, and a white arrow inside one directs traffic to follow that direction. Here the arrow points straight, so proceeding straight ahead is compulsory and turning is not permitted.

Question 7Traffic signs, signals and road markings

What does a yellow box junction marking painted on the road surface require of you?

  1. You must not enter unless your exit is clear Correct answer.
  2. You may park inside the box for short periods
  3. You must stop inside the box at all times
  4. You may enter and wait if your exit is blocked

Explanation

The yellow criss-cross box is designed to keep a junction clear of queuing traffic. You may only enter it when your exit road is clear, so that you do not become stranded inside when the lights change.

Question 8Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A rectangular sign with a blue background shows a white symbol of a motorcycle. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A route or lane is designated for motorcycles Correct answer.
  2. Motorcycle racing takes place ahead
  3. Motorcyclists must dismount here
  4. Motorcycles are banned beyond this sign

Explanation

Rectangular blue signs provide information, and a motorcycle symbol on one indicates a facility or route intended for motorcycles. It is an informative sign, in contrast with a red-ringed circle, which would prohibit motorcycles.

Question 9Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You are riding at night and see a stop line and the word STOP painted on the road, but the sign is obscured by a tree. What must you do?

  1. Sound the horn and cross the line
  2. Stop only if another vehicle is visible
  3. Slow down and continue without stopping
  4. Stop at the line and give way before proceeding Correct answer.

Explanation

Road markings carry the same legal force as upright signs, so a painted stop line and STOP legend impose a full stop. You must halt at the line, check that the way is clear, and only then continue, even if the sign itself is hidden.

Question 10Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign shows a red border with the number 60 in black on a white background. What does it mean?

  1. A minimum speed of 60 km/h applies
  2. Advisory speed in wet weather is 60 km/h
  3. The maximum permitted speed is 60 km/h Correct answer.
  4. The road is 60 metres ahead

Explanation

A red-ringed circle containing a number is a prohibitory speed-limit sign, and the figure states the maximum legal speed in kilometres per hour. Driving below that figure is permitted; exceeding it is an offence.

Question 11Traffic signs, signals and road markings

At a signal-controlled junction the light turns amber as you approach. You are so close that stopping safely is impossible. What is the correct action?

  1. Stop and wait for the next green
  2. Brake hard and stop on the crossing area
  3. Reverse back behind the stop line
  4. Continue through the junction with care Correct answer.

Explanation

An amber light warns that the signal is about to turn red and requires you to stop if you can do so safely. When you are already too close to stop without harsh braking, proceeding through with care is the safer and accepted course.

Question 12Traffic signs, signals and road markings

What does a broken white line between two lanes travelling in the same direction permit?

  1. Crossing to change lanes when it is safe Correct answer.
  2. Crossing only during daylight hours
  3. Parking along the lane divider
  4. Use of the right lane by oncoming traffic

Explanation

A broken white line separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and may be crossed to change lanes. The manoeuvre must still be carried out safely, with a signal and adequate observation.

Question 13Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A driver ahead of you extends the right arm horizontally with the forearm raised vertically, palm forward. What is being signalled?

  1. An intention to overtake
  2. An intention to reverse
  3. An intention to slow down or stop Correct answer.
  4. An intention to turn right

Explanation

In the standard arm signals, an arm held out with the forearm raised and palm facing forward indicates that the driver intends to slow down or stop. Riders should be ready to reduce speed in response.

Question 14Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You are riding in the left-hand lane of a three-lane road and see a large white arrow painted on the surface pointing right. What does this marking tell you?

  1. The lane must be used only for turning right Correct answer.
  2. A right-hand bend is approaching
  3. Right turns are prohibited from this lane
  4. The lane ends and traffic must merge left

Explanation

Direction arrows painted in a lane are regulatory markings that fix the movement permitted from that lane. An arrow curving to the right means traffic in that lane must turn right and may not continue straight.

Question 15Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A sign shows a red circle containing a car and a motorcycle side by side, each with a red diagonal line through it. What does this mean?

  1. Cars and motorcycles are prohibited from entering Correct answer.
  2. Cars and motorcycles must use dipped headlights
  3. Overtaking by cars and motorcycles is prohibited
  4. Only cars and motorcycles may use the road

Explanation

A red-ringed circle with a diagonal line through a vehicle symbol is a prohibition sign banning that class of vehicle. With both a car and a motorcycle shown, both are barred from proceeding past the sign.

Question 16Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You see a triangular warning sign showing a traffic signal with red, amber and green lights. What should you expect?

  1. Traffic lights ahead that may be hidden until close Correct answer.
  2. A railway level crossing with barriers
  3. A pedestrian crossing without lights
  4. A signal that is permanently out of order

Explanation

The traffic-signal warning triangle alerts drivers that signal-controlled traffic lies ahead, often where the lights cannot be seen from a distance. The correct response is to reduce speed so you can stop safely if the signal changes.

Question 17Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A stop line is accompanied by a flashing red signal at a railway level crossing. What must you do?

  1. Cross quickly before the barriers descend
  2. Stop only if a train is visible
  3. Stop and remain stationary until the signals stop flashing Correct answer.
  4. Slow down and proceed with caution

Explanation

Flashing red lights at a level crossing mean you must stop and stay stopped, because a train is approaching or the crossing equipment is in operation. You may only proceed once the lights cease flashing and the barriers are fully raised.

Question 18Traffic signs, signals and road markings

What is the purpose of a hatched area bordered by a solid white line in the centre of the road?

  1. It may be used for overtaking when clear
  2. It separates opposing traffic streams and must not be entered Correct answer.
  3. It marks a place where parking is allowed
  4. It indicates a lane for slow-moving vehicles

Explanation

A hatched area bounded by a continuous white line separates opposing flows of traffic and shields turning vehicles. Because the boundary is solid, drivers must keep out of the hatched zone except in an emergency.

Question 19Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You approach a junction controlled by a green arrow pointing left while the main light is red. What does the green arrow allow?

  1. Proceed in the direction of the arrow, giving way as needed Correct answer.
  2. Proceed straight ahead through the junction
  3. Wait until the main light turns green
  4. Proceed in any direction you choose

Explanation

A green arrow is a directional signal that permits movement only in the direction shown, even when the main aspect is red. Traffic turning in that direction must still give way to pedestrians and to other traffic already in the junction.

Question 20Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A circular blue sign shows a white bicycle symbol. How should a motorcyclist interpret it?

  1. Bicycle racing is taking place ahead
  2. Motorcycles must not enter the route
  3. The route is reserved for bicycles, so motorcycles must keep out Correct answer.
  4. The route is compulsory for bicycles and motorcycles

Explanation

A blue circular sign showing a bicycle imposes a mandatory route for cyclists, and the space is reserved for them. A motorcyclist should not enter a route reserved for bicycles, because the sign does not authorise motorcycle use.

Question 21Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You are waiting at a red light and a green filter arrow appears for traffic turning right, but your intended route is straight ahead. What should you do?

  1. Remain stopped until the main signal shows green Correct answer.
  2. Proceed straight ahead after sounding the horn
  3. Move off and proceed straight ahead
  4. Turn right because the filter arrow applies to all lanes

Explanation

A filter arrow releases only the movement it indicates, and it applies to traffic in the lane governed by that signal. If your route is straight ahead, you must wait until the main signal turns green before moving.

Question 22Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A broken yellow line runs along the edge of the carriageway next to the kerb. What does this marking indicate?

  1. The kerb may be used for loading only
  2. Parking is free at all times
  3. The road narrows towards the kerb
  4. Waiting and parking restrictions apply at specified times Correct answer.

Explanation

Yellow lines along the kerb control waiting and parking rather than moving traffic, and a broken yellow line indicates a restriction that operates during stated times. Drivers should check the nearby plate or sign for the exact hours before leaving a vehicle.

Question 23Traffic signs, signals and road markings

At a roundabout, the road marking in your approach lane is a broken white line with a give-way triangle painted across the lane. What does this combination require?

  1. Use the lane only for turning right
  2. Give way to traffic already on the roundabout and proceed when clear Correct answer.
  3. Stop completely before the triangle in every case
  4. Merge without looking because the triangle grants priority

Explanation

The painted give-way triangle reinforces the duty to yield to traffic already circulating on the roundabout. A full stop is only needed when traffic is present, so you proceed once a safe gap appears.

Question 24Traffic signs, signals and road markings

An officer faces your lane with his right arm extended horizontally towards you, palm forward. What does this signal mean?

  1. Reduce speed and continue slowly
  2. Turn right at the next junction
  3. Stop and remain stopped until signalled otherwise Correct answer.
  4. Proceed past the officer without delay

Explanation

An officer's extended arm with the palm facing a driver is a stop signal directed at the traffic in that lane. The instruction must be obeyed at once and takes precedence over any sign or light at the location.

Question 25Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You see a red-ringed circular sign showing a motorcycle above a small plate reading 30. What does the combination mean?

  1. Motorcycles are prohibited for the next 30 metres
  2. Motorcycles must keep 30 metres apart
  3. Motorcycles must not exceed 30 km/h on this road Correct answer.
  4. Motorcycles may use the road only after 30 minutes

Explanation

A supplementary plate beneath a regulatory sign qualifies the instruction given by the main sign, and here the number is a speed value. The combination therefore sets a maximum speed of 30 km/h that applies to motorcycles on that road.

Question 26Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign has a red border and shows a black motorcycle inside. What does this sign mean to a rider?

  1. Motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding beyond the sign Correct answer.
  2. Motorcycles must ride in the left lane only
  3. Motorcycles must use the road only at night
  4. Motorcycles must reduce speed to 30 km/h

Explanation

A red ring around a symbol is a prohibition sign, so a motorcycle inside a red circle bans motorcycles from that road or section. It is not an advisory or speed instruction. The ban applies from the point where the sign is placed.

Question 27Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You see a triangular sign with a red border showing a single curve bending to the left. How should you respond as you ride towards it?

  1. Expect the left lane to end ahead
  2. Expect the road to bend left and adjust speed before the bend Correct answer.
  3. Expect a left turn only for buses and taxis
  4. Expect a left-hand junction where you have priority

Explanation

Triangular signs with red borders give warning of a hazard ahead, and the curved arrow warns of a bend in the direction shown. You should slow before reaching the curve so you can stay in lane. The sign warns rather than orders.

Question 28Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A traffic light shows a steady red light together with a steady green arrow pointing straight ahead. What may you do?

  1. Proceed straight ahead only, yielding to traffic already in the junction Correct answer.
  2. Reverse out of the junction if you have already crossed the line
  3. Wait until the main light turns green before moving
  4. Proceed in any direction because the green arrow cancels the red

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction it points, even while the main light is red. You may go straight but must still give way to traffic and pedestrians already lawfully in the junction. The other directions remain prohibited.

Question 29Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A solid white line runs along the centre of a two-way road. What does this marking tell a rider?

  1. Do not cross or straddle the line to overtake or turn Correct answer.
  2. You must keep the line on your left at all times
  3. You may cross it only to overtake slower vehicles
  4. You may cross it whenever the road ahead is clear

Explanation

A continuous centre line means crossing or straddling it is prohibited, usually because visibility or the layout makes overtaking unsafe. You must stay on your own side until the line becomes broken. Turning across it is also not permitted where the line is solid.

Question 30Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You are riding behind a long vehicle and see a sign on its rear reading 'LONG VEHICLE'. What is the practical purpose of this plate?

  1. To indicate that the vehicle is carrying hazardous goods
  2. To warn you that the vehicle is unusually long and needs extra room to turn or overtake Correct answer.
  3. To show that the vehicle may only travel in the left lane
  4. To confirm that the vehicle is a public transport bus

Explanation

The plate warns other road users that the vehicle's length affects manoeuvring, so it may swing wide when turning and needs a longer clear gap to overtake. Riders should hang back and pass only when the whole length can be cleared safely. It says nothing about the load or permitted lanes.

Question 31Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A yellow box junction marking is painted at a junction you are approaching. Traffic ahead is queuing and the exit from the box is blocked. What should you do?

  1. Enter the box and stop in the middle until traffic moves
  2. Wait behind the box until there is room to clear it completely Correct answer.
  3. Enter the box and use the hatched edges to wait
  4. Enter the box only if you sound your horn first

Explanation

You must not enter a yellow box unless your exit is clear, so that the junction is not blocked. If traffic beyond the box is stationary, wait before the marking. The only exception is when you are turning right and are prevented from doing so only by oncoming traffic.

Question 32Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A rider ahead of you raises the right arm and rotates it in a circular motion. What is being signalled?

  1. An intention to turn left
  2. An intention to stop immediately
  3. An intention to turn right Correct answer.
  4. An intention to slow down

Explanation

A rotating right arm is the manual signal for a right turn, used when indicators are hard to see or have failed. A left turn is signalled with the right arm extended and bent upward, and slowing with the arm moved up and down. Recognising these signals helps you anticipate the rider's path.

Question 33Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A blue circular sign shows a white arrow pointing diagonally down and to the left. Where are you being directed?

  1. To leave the road on the left at once
  2. To turn left at the next junction
  3. To pass to the left of the obstacle or traffic island ahead Correct answer.
  4. To give way to traffic coming from the left

Explanation

Blue circular signs with a white arrow are mandatory direction signs; a downward diagonal arrow tells you to keep to that side of an obstruction such as a bollard or island. It is not a general turn instruction. Follow the arrow's side as you pass.

Question 34Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You approach a pedestrian crossing where the signal shows a flashing amber light. What does this require?

  1. Proceed at normal speed because pedestrians must wait
  2. Give way to pedestrians already on the crossing and proceed if it is clear Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn and continue without slowing
  4. Stop and wait until the light turns green

Explanation

A flashing amber at a pedestrian crossing means pedestrians have priority while they are on the crossing, but you may proceed once it is clear. It is not a stop signal. Riders should approach slowly and be ready to halt for anyone still crossing.

Question 35Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A rectangular sign with a green background shows a white motorway symbol and a distance. What information is it giving?

  1. A toll point on the motorway at the stated distance
  2. The end of a motorway and the distance to the nearest exit
  3. A rest area with fuel at the stated distance
  4. The start of a motorway and the distance to a destination along it Correct answer.

Explanation

Green rectangular signs with white lettering and motorway symbols give directions on motorways and indicate distances to destinations. They confirm you are entering or continuing on the motorway network. Service and toll information uses separate symbols.

Question 36Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A white arrow painted on the road surface in your lane points straight ahead, and the lane to your right has an arrow curving right. What does this arrangement require?

  1. Follow the arrow for your lane and do not change lanes across the solid line Correct answer.
  2. Choose either arrow freely as you approach the junction
  3. Move to the right lane regardless of your intended route
  4. Treat both arrows as advisory only and ignore them

Explanation

Lane arrows tell you which direction each lane serves, and where a solid line separates them you must stay in your lane. Selecting the correct lane early avoids a late, unsafe lane change. The arrows are compulsory instructions, not suggestions.

Question 37Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You see a circular sign with a red border showing two children running. What does this sign warn of?

  1. A school or playground where children may cross unexpectedly Correct answer.
  2. A route reserved for school buses
  3. A crossing patrolled only during school holidays
  4. A pedestrian zone closed to motorcycles

Explanation

The children symbol warns that a school, playground or similar area is nearby, so children may step into the road without warning. Reduce speed and be ready to stop. It does not close the road or reserve it for any vehicle.

Question 38Traffic signs, signals and road markings

At a junction you see a broken white line across your lane with a triangle painted just beyond it. What does this combination require?

  1. Give way to traffic on the road you are joining Correct answer.
  2. Stop completely before the line in every case
  3. Proceed because you have priority over the other road
  4. Wait for a green signal before crossing the line

Explanation

A broken line with a painted triangle marks a give-way point, meaning you must yield to traffic on the road you are entering. A full stop is required only where a solid stop line is used. If the road is clear you may proceed without stopping.

Question 39Traffic signs, signals and road markings

You are riding in heavy rain at night and the lane markings ahead are faint. Which approach best reflects the rules on road markings and signals?

  1. Assume the lane layout is unchanged and maintain your speed
  2. Follow the tail lights of the vehicle ahead closely for guidance
  3. Slow down and rely on the visible signs and remaining markings while keeping a safe gap Correct answer.
  4. Move to the centre line so you can see the markings better

Explanation

Markings remain legally binding even when worn, so the safe response is to reduce speed and increase the gap until signs and markings are clear. Close following removes your view of the road and your stopping margin. Riding on the centre line exposes you to oncoming traffic.

Question 40Traffic signs, signals and road markings

A rider intends to turn right at a junction and sees a green filter arrow for right turns while the main light is red. Traffic is approaching from the opposite direction. What is the correct action?

  1. Abandon the turn and continue straight ahead regardless of route
  2. Turn immediately because the green arrow gives absolute priority
  3. Turn right only when the oncoming traffic has cleared and it is safe Correct answer.
  4. Wait for the main light to turn green before turning

Explanation

A green filter arrow permits the movement but does not remove your duty to give way to traffic already lawfully using the junction, including oncoming vehicles. You may turn once the way is clear. The arrow authorises the direction; it does not grant priority.

Question 41Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

Under Kuwait traffic law, at what minimum age may a person apply for a motorcycle driving licence?

  1. 17 years
  2. 21 years
  3. 18 years Correct answer.
  4. 20 years

Explanation

Kuwait requires a person to be at least 18 years old before a motorcycle licence can be issued, matching the general minimum driving age. Applicants must also pass the medical, theoretical and practical requirements before the licence is granted.

Question 42Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

What is the maximum permitted speed for a motorcycle on an urban road inside Kuwait City unless a lower sign is posted?

  1. 60 km/h
  2. 50 km/h Correct answer.
  3. 40 km/h
  4. 80 km/h

Explanation

The default urban speed limit on Kuwaiti city roads is 50 km/h unless a sign shows a different figure. Riders must always obey posted limits where they are lower than the general rule.

Question 43Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

On a two-lane road in Kuwait, a motorcycle rider wishes to overtake a slower car ahead. What is the correct legal requirement?

  1. Overtake on the right if the lane is clear
  2. Sound the horn continuously while passing on either side
  3. Overtake on the left after checking it is safe and permitted Correct answer.
  4. Follow closely until the car moves aside

Explanation

Overtaking in Kuwait is performed on the left, and only when the rider has confirmed the way is clear and no sign or marking forbids it. Passing on the right or tailgating is a traffic violation.

Question 44Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

What does a solid continuous white line along the centre of a Kuwaiti road mean for a motorcyclist?

  1. The line marks a pedestrian crossing zone
  2. Overtaking and crossing the line are prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed on the line at night
  4. Overtaking is allowed if no traffic is visible

Explanation

A continuous centre line forbids crossing it or overtaking across it, because visibility and safety cannot be guaranteed. Riders must stay on their side until the line becomes broken and overtaking is clearly safe.

Question 45Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

A rider is involved in a collision in Kuwait in which another person is injured. What must the rider do first?

  1. Drive to the nearest garage for repairs
  2. Exchange details only if the other driver insists
  3. Leave the scene to fetch a relative
  4. Stop, give assistance and notify the police Correct answer.

Explanation

The law requires any driver involved in an injury accident to stop immediately, render reasonable assistance and inform the police. Fleeing the scene is a serious offence with severe penalties.

Question 46Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

Which document must a motorcyclist in Kuwait be able to produce when stopped by a traffic officer?

  1. A purchase receipt for the motorcycle
  2. A letter from the rider's employer
  3. Only a national identity card
  4. A valid driving licence, vehicle registration and insurance Correct answer.

Explanation

Riders must carry and produce a valid motorcycle driving licence, the vehicle registration and proof of valid insurance on demand. Failing to produce these documents can lead to fines and further penalties.

Question 47Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

What is the legal status of wearing a protective helmet while riding a motorcycle in Kuwait?

  1. Required for the rider at all times while riding Correct answer.
  2. Optional for short trips inside the city
  3. Required only on highways
  4. Required only for riders under 21

Explanation

A properly fastened helmet is compulsory for motorcycle riders in Kuwait at all times, not only on highways. The helmet protects against head injury in the event of a fall or collision.

Question 48Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

A traffic signal shows a flashing amber light at a Kuwaiti junction. What should the rider do?

  1. Accelerate to clear the junction quickly
  2. Treat it as a red light and reverse
  3. Proceed with caution after checking the way is clear Correct answer.
  4. Stop completely and wait for green

Explanation

A flashing amber signal warns that the lights are not controlling the junction normally, so drivers must proceed carefully and give way as needed. It does not mean stop and wait, nor does it grant priority.

Question 49Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

A rider's motorcycle licence carries a certain number of black points. What happens when the maximum permitted points are accumulated within the specified period?

  1. The points are cancelled automatically
  2. The rider pays a small fee and keeps riding
  3. The rider receives a written warning only
  4. The licence is withdrawn for a period set by the traffic authority Correct answer.

Explanation

Kuwait's black-point system withdraws the driving licence once the permitted total is reached within the stated period. The withdrawal lasts for the period determined by the traffic department, and the rider must not ride during it.

Question 50Traffic laws, regulations and licensing

A learner rider holding a Kuwaiti motorcycle learner permit is riding. Which condition applies?

  1. The learner may carry a passenger if the passenger holds a licence
  2. The learner may ride only after sunset
  3. The learner must be accompanied by a qualified licensed rider Correct answer.
  4. The learner may ride alone anywhere in the country

Explanation

Learner riders must be supervised by a qualified licensed rider and follow the conditions attached to the permit. Riding alone or carrying passengers before the full licence is issued breaches those conditions.
