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

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
