Mozambique INATRO Professional Driving Licence Theory · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Road traffic law and the Highway Code (Código da Estrada) & Road signs, signals and markings

  • Identify and state the speed limits for urban, rural, and motorway roads in Mozambique, including the specific limits for professional drivers and heavy vehicles.

  • List the key documents a professional driver must carry and the penalties for driving without them, according to the Código da Estrada.

  • Apply right-of-way rules at intersections, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings, and explain the exceptions for emergency vehicles.

  • Describe the rules for overtaking, lane discipline, and safe following distances, including the two-second rule and its adaptation for heavy vehicles.

  • Memorise the meanings of at least 10 additional warning signs and 10 regulatory signs, and explain how they interact with road markings.

  • Explain the legal consequences of traffic violations such as speeding, drink-driving, and using a mobile phone while driving.

Your checkpoint

Week 3

Safe and defensive driving & Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and pre-trip checks

  • List the components of a pre-trip inspection for a professional vehicle, including tyres, brakes, lights, fluids, and load security.

  • Explain the effects of alcohol, drugs, and fatigue on driving ability, and state the legal blood alcohol limit in Mozambique.

  • Describe defensive driving techniques such as scanning ahead, managing space cushions, and anticipating hazards in urban and rural settings.

  • Identify common vehicle malfunctions (e.g., brake fade, tyre blowout) and the correct immediate response.

Your checkpoint

Perform a simulated pre-trip inspection checklist on a vehicle (or using a diagram) and document each step with a photo or drawing, then submit a 10-point checklist.

Week 4

Professional driver duties, passenger and cargo safety & Driving hours, rest periods and fatigue management

  • Outline the legal responsibilities of a professional driver towards passengers, including seatbelt use, boarding and alighting, and behaviour in emergencies.

  • Explain the rules for loading and securing cargo, including weight distribution, restraints, and height/width limits.

  • State the maximum continuous driving time and minimum rest periods for professional drivers in Mozambique, and describe how to record them.

  • Identify the signs of fatigue and apply strategies to manage it, such as scheduled breaks and power naps.

Your checkpoint

Produce a one-page driver's duty card summarising passenger safety, cargo rules, and driving/rest limits, and score 100% on a 10-question quiz on hours and rest.

Week 5

Professional driver duties, passenger and cargo safety & Driving hours, rest periods and fatigue management

  • Describe the procedure for dealing with unruly passengers and for securing the vehicle when leaving it unattended.

  • Explain the additional risks when transporting hazardous materials (basic awareness) and the documentation required.

  • Calculate driving time and rest periods for a given scenario, ensuring compliance with the law.

  • List the emergency equipment a professional vehicle should carry and explain how to use it.

Your checkpoint

Complete a case study of a 10-hour driving day, produce a compliant schedule with rest breaks, and list all emergency equipment with its purpose.

Week 6

Emergency procedures, first aid and accident response & Environmental and economic driving

  • Demonstrate the DRABC (Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation) sequence for first aid at a road accident scene.

  • Describe how to secure an accident scene, including warning triangles, hazard lights, and calling emergency services in Mozambique.

  • Explain eco-driving techniques such as smooth acceleration, anticipatory braking, and correct tyre pressure to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

  • Identify the environmental impact of vehicle emissions and the benefits of regular maintenance.

Your checkpoint

Create a step-by-step accident response poster (digital or paper) and record a 2-minute video explaining eco-driving practices.

Week 7

Documentation, insurance and administrative obligations & Load securing and transport of dangerous goods (basic awareness)

  • List the documents required for a professional driving licence and vehicle operation, including insurance, inspection, and permits.

  • Explain the consequences of driving without valid insurance or with expired documents.
