Mauritius AV Driving Theory study plan
Mauritius AV Driving Theory · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Road signs, signals and road markings & Rules of the road and traffic regulations
Classify every Mauritius road sign by shape and colour family (regulatory, warning, information, temporary) and state the required driver action for each family from memory
Recite the meaning of the main road markings - continuous and broken lines, box junctions, hatched areas, stop lines, give-way lines - and explain when each may or may not be crossed
Explain the hierarchy of road users and the standard right-of-way rules at uncontrolled junctions, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings
Draw the four main junction types from memory and label who gives way in each
Your checkpoint
A one-page hand-drawn sign-and-marking cheat sheet covering at least 40 signs and 10 markings, self-tested with no errors on a second pass
Road signs, signals and road markings & Rules of the road and traffic regulations
Interpret traffic light sequences, filter arrows, flashing signals and police hand signals without hesitation
Apply speed limit rules for built-up areas, rural roads and motorways, and state the penalties for exceeding them
Describe overtaking, lane discipline and following-distance rules, including where overtaking is prohibited
Explain parking, stopping and waiting restrictions and how to read the associated signs and markings together
Your checkpoint
A 25-question self-written quiz on signals, limits and restrictions, answered at 90% or better, with every wrong answer rewritten as a correct rule statement
Rules of the road and traffic regulations & Vehicle controls, handling and manoeuvres
Sequence the full cockpit drill and the moving-off and stopping routines in the correct order
Demonstrate clutch, gear, brake and accelerator coordination on a quiet road until hill starts and smooth gear changes are consistent
Explain mirror-signal-manoeuvre and position-speed-look routines and apply them aloud while driving
Describe the correct procedure for turning at junctions, emerging, and joining a roundabout
Your checkpoint
A supervised 45-minute drive log recording at least 20 successful hill starts, gear changes and junction turns with an instructor or licensed supervisor signing each category
Vehicle controls, handling and manoeuvres & Safety, hazard perception and defensive driving
Perform and narrate the three-point turn, parallel park and reverse around a corner with correct observation throughout
Identify the six most common hazard categories in Mauritian traffic - pedestrians, two-wheelers, buses, animals, potholes, monsoon flooding - and state a defensive response to each
Apply the two-second rule and adjust it for rain, night and following large vehicles
Explain stopping distances at 30, 50 and 80 km/h and how wet roads change them
Your checkpoint
A hazard-perception log of 30 real or video-observed hazards, each with the cue spotted, the response taken and the reaction time estimated
Safety, hazard perception and defensive driving & Rules of the road and traffic regulations
Describe the correct actions at the scene of a collision: stopping, securing the scene, assisting casualties, exchanging details and reporting
Explain the rules on seat belts, child restraints, helmets, mobile phone use and drink-driving limits and penalties
Recognise fatigue, alcohol and medication impairment in yourself and state the decision rule for not driving
Plan a route that avoids known blackspots, school zones and flood-prone roads during heavy rain
Your checkpoint
A written emergency and impairment action card, memorised and recited cold in under three minutes
Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and documentation & Road signs, signals and road markings
Identify under the bonnet the engine oil dipstick, coolant, brake fluid, washer reservoir, battery and fuse box, and state the check interval for each
Explain tyre legal requirements - tread depth, pressure, sidewall markings, load and speed ratings - and how to read them
Describe the meaning of dashboard warning lights and the correct immediate response to red versus amber warnings
List the documents a driver must carry and explain vehicle examination, insurance and road tax obligations
Your checkpoint
A completed pre-drive vehicle checklist performed on a real car and photographed, with every fluid and tyre reading recorded
Road signs, signals and road markings & Rules of the road and traffic regulations & Vehicle controls, handling and manoeuvres & Safety, hazard perception and defensive driving & Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and documentation
Complete two full timed mock theory tests under exam conditions and record the score for each domain separately
Re-study only the domains scoring below 80% and rewrite every missed question as a rule you can state aloud
Practise the most commonly failed sign and marking pairs until recognition is instant
Review the mock test format, question style and time management strategy
Your checkpoint
Two completed mock tests with a domain-by-domain score table and a written remediation list for every weak area
Road signs, signals and road markings & Rules of the road and traffic regulations & Vehicle controls, handling and manoeuvres & Safety, hazard perception and defensive driving & Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and documentation
Achieve a consistent pass mark on three consecutive full mock tests
Recite the top 50 signs, all speed limits and all stopping distances from memory in one sitting
Rehearse the practical test briefing - documents, vehicle checks, safety questions - aloud
Confirm test-day logistics: booking, identification, vehicle roadworthiness and arrival time
Your checkpoint
Three consecutive mock scores at or above the pass threshold, logged with date, score and time taken
Milestones
Week 2: Score 90% or better on the self-written signs, signals and rules quiz and explain any missed item correctly without notes
Week 4: Complete a supervised drive covering hill starts, junctions, a roundabout and one reversing manoeuvre with no safety-critical intervention
Week 6: Perform the full pre-drive vehicle check unaided and correctly name every dashboard warning light shown
Week 8: Three consecutive full mock tests at or above the pass threshold, with no domain below 80%
