01Road Signs, Signals and Road Markings
The Mauritius theory paper checks that you can read the road without hesitating: a sign's shape and colour, what each signal phase requires of you, and the painted markings that say where to stop, wait or overtake. Mauritius uses the international/British sign model, so learning the families is far faster than memorising individual plates.

Mauritius drives on the left. Keep left except when overtaking, turning right, or when lane markings direct otherwise.
380 words, about 2 min03Vehicle Controls, Handling and Manoeuvres
Before moving off, run the cockpit drill: doors shut, seat adjusted so the clutch can be fully depressed with a slight knee bend, head restraint level with the top of your ears, mirrors set so you see a sliver of your own car, seat belt fastened. Know where the indicators, lights, wipers, hazard switch and horn are without looking down.
344 words, about 2 min04Safety, Hazard Perception and Defensive Driving
Hazard perception is scored on how early you spot a developing problem. Scan twelve to fifteen seconds ahead, check the mirrors every few seconds, and keep your eyes moving rather than fixing on the car in front.
350 words, about 2 min05Vehicle Knowledge, Maintenance and Documentation
You should be able to produce a valid driving licence for the class you are driving, the vehicle registration certificate, proof of insurance covering at least third-party liability, a valid road fund licence (road tax) and, where the vehicle's age requires it, a current fitness certificate from the inspection centre. Police may ask to see these at a roadside check; driving uninsured or with an expired fitness certificate can invalidate your cover and lead to prosecution.
