Mozambique INATRO Heavy Vehicle (Pesado) Driving Theory · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The INATRO heavy vehicle theory examination (exame teórico de condução, categoria Pesado) is the written stage that candidates in Mozambique must clear before the practical test for a heavy goods or heavy passenger vehicle licence. It is aimed at drivers who already hold a lighter category and want to move up to trucks, tractor units or buses, and at professional drivers who need the licence for work. The paper is delivered in Portuguese on a computer at an INATRO testing centre, with multiple-choice items and one correct answer each. Content spans the Código da Estrada and traffic law, road signs and markings, heavy-vehicle mechanical safety (brakes, tyres, air systems, coupling), load and dimension limits, defensive driving, night and bad-weather driving, incident response and first aid, fitness and fatigue, and the duties of a professional driver.
