Mozambique INATRO Category B Driving Theory study plan
Mozambique INATRO Category B Driving Theory · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Road signs and signals (sinalização vertical e horizontal)
Classify every Mozambican vertical sign type (perigo, proibição, obrigação, informação, prioridade) and state the standard shape and colour of each category from memory
Draw from memory the main danger, prohibition and obligation signs and label each with its exact meaning in Portuguese
Read the road markings chapter and explain the difference between linha contínua, linha descontínua, linha mista and railes/separadores, including when overtaking is forbidden
Identify the signals given by traffic officers (agente regulador de trânsito) and match each arm position to the correct driver action
Explain the hierarchy between agent signals, temporary signs, traffic lights and permanent signs
Your checkpoint
A one-page hand-drawn reference sheet of 40 signs and 10 road markings, each with its Portuguese name and meaning, scored at 90% or better on a self-quiz
Road signs and signals (sinalização vertical e horizontal) & Traffic rules and right-of-way (regras de trânsito e prioridade)
Interpret traffic light sequences including flashing amber, directional arrows and pedestrian/cyclist lights, and state the correct response to a failed or dark signal
Apply the general right-of-way rule at unmarked intersections and at junctions marked with STOP and cedência de prioridade signs
Resolve priority at roundabouts, including which lane to use and when to signal exit
Calculate safe following distance using the two-second rule and adjust it for rain, night and heavy vehicles
Answer 60 mixed sign-and-priority practice questions and log every error by cause
Your checkpoint
An error log of at least 20 missed questions, each rewritten as a correct rule statement in your own words
Traffic rules and right-of-way (regras de trânsito e prioridade)
State the speed limits for urban roads, rural roads and motorways and the conditions that lower them (rain, fog, load, towing)
Describe overtaking rules: permitted sides, prohibited zones, and the obligation to return to the right lane
Explain stopping and parking prohibitions near junctions, crossings, bus stops, curves and tunnels
Apply priority rules for emergency vehicles, public transport pulling out, and vehicles on a roundabout
List the situations where a driver must yield even without a sign, such as reversing, entering from a private road, or changing lanes
Your checkpoint
A written 20-rule summary of right-of-way and speed rules, verified against your manual with zero uncorrected errors
Traffic rules and right-of-way (regras de trânsito e prioridade) & Driver behaviour, hazard perception and defensive driving
Identify the six most common crash scenarios (rear-end, junction, overtaking, pedestrian crossing, curve, wet-road skid) and state the defensive action for each
Practise scanning technique: describe what a driver should check every 5-8 seconds in mirror, blind spot and road ahead
Explain hazard perception at night, in rain and in poor visibility, including correct use of lights
Apply the SIPDE-style routine (scan, identify, predict, decide, execute) to five written road scenarios
Recognise signs of aggression, distraction and complacency in yourself and state a countermeasure for each
Your checkpoint
Five written scenario analyses of 100 words each, each naming the hazard, the prediction and the evasive action
Vehicle controls, safety equipment and basic maintenance
Locate and operate the primary controls (clutch, brake, accelerator, steering, gear lever, handbrake) and explain the correct seating and mirror adjustment procedure
Explain the function of ABS, ESP, airbags, seat belts and head restraints and the limits of each system
Perform and describe the pre-journey check: tyres (pressure and tread depth), lights, fluids, brakes, wipers and warning lights
Interpret the main dashboard warning lights and rank them by urgency (stop now, service soon, monitor)
Explain tyre blowout, brake fade and aquaplaning and the correct driver response to each
Your checkpoint
A completed 15-point vehicle check sheet, filled in on a real or simulated vehicle with each item signed off
Safety of vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists) & Alcohol, drugs, fatigue and fitness to drive
Apply the rules protecting pedestrians at crossings, near schools and when a pedestrian is already on the roadway, including the duty to reduce speed
State the minimum passing distance and speed reduction required when overtaking cyclists and motorcyclists
Explain the blind spots of heavy vehicles and how to position yourself safely around trucks and buses
State the legal blood-alcohol position, the effects of alcohol at low doses, and the time needed for the body to eliminate alcohol
Describe how fatigue, medication and illegal drugs degrade reaction time, and list the warning signs that require stopping to rest
Your checkpoint
A two-column table matching 12 vulnerable-road-user and impairment scenarios to the correct legal rule and safe action, all correct on review
Vehicle documents, licensing and administrative obligations & Emergency procedures, accidents and first aid
List the documents a Category B driver must carry: carta de condução, livrete, seguro obrigatório, inspecção periódica and comprovativo de residência where required
Explain licence validity, renewal, points or penalty system and the consequences of driving without a valid licence or insurance
State the legal duties after a crash: stop, secure the scene, warn other traffic, exchange details and report to the authorities
Demonstrate the correct first-aid sequence for an unconscious but breathing casualty, severe bleeding and suspected spinal injury, including when not to move a casualty
Explain how to place a warning triangle, use hazard lights and call emergency services with a clear location description
Your checkpoint
A one-page accident-and-first-aid action card written from memory, checked against the manual and corrected
Road signs and signals (sinalização vertical e horizontal) & Traffic rules and right-of-way (regras de trânsito e prioridade) & Vehicle controls, safety equipment and basic maintenance & Driver behaviour, hazard perception and defensive driving & Safety of vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists) & Alcohol, drugs, fatigue and fitness to drive & Vehicle documents, licensing and administrative obligations & Emergency procedures, accidents and first aid
Sit three timed full-length mock exams under test conditions and score each one
Re-drill every remaining error from weeks 1-7 until each is answered correctly twice in a row
Re-read the sign sheet and rule summary aloud to confirm recall without prompts
Review the highest-weighted domains (signs and priority) for at least 40% of total revision time
Confirm exam-day logistics: documents, location, timing and the format of the practical component
Your checkpoint
Three mock exam scores of 85% or higher, with a final error list containing no unresolved items
Milestones
Week 2: Score 80% or higher on a 40-question signs-and-signals quiz without notes, and correctly identify all traffic-officer signals
Week 4: Score 80% or higher on a 40-question traffic-rules and priority quiz, and submit the five scenario analyses
Week 6: Score 85% or higher on a mixed 60-question mock covering domains 1-6, with the vehicle check sheet completed
Week 8: Score 85% or higher on three consecutive timed mock exams and have zero unresolved items on the final error list
