Lesotho Theory Test study guide
Lesotho Theory Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Lesotho Learner Driver Theory Test is the written examination administered by the Department of Traffic and Transport that a person must pass before being issued a learner's licence and beginning supervised driving practice on public roads. It is intended for new drivers of cars, light vehicles and motorcycles who do not yet hold a licence, and it tests whether the candidate can recognise signs and signals, understand the rules of the road and right of way, interpret road markings and traffic control, and respond sensibly to hazards, vehicle fitness and emergency situations. The Lesotho Theory Test study guide has 7 sections and about 3,303 words.
