Mauritania Driving Theory Practice case studies
Mauritania Driving Theory Practice · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Mauritanian driving theory examination - often called the Code de la Route Mauritanien or Examen Théorique du Permis de Conduire - is the written knowledge test that a candidate must pass before obtaining a Mauritanian driving licence category. It is aimed at first-time learner drivers, at drivers converting or adding a category, and at anyone whose licence has lapsed or been withdrawn and who must re-qualify. The test is delivered in French, the administrative language of the licence process, so candidates should be comfortable reading traffic terminology in French even if they normally drive in Hassaniya Arabic, Pulaar, Soninke or Wolof. The paper is multiple choice. The Mauritania Driving Theory Practice case studies are 5 cases and about 2,654 words.
