FRSC Driving CBT study plan
FRSC Driving CBT · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Road Signs, Signals and Markings
Classify every Nigerian road sign type (regulatory, warning, informational, road markings) and state the required driver action for each category
Draw from memory the main regulatory signs (stop, yield/give way, no entry, speed limits, no overtaking, weight and height limits) and write the exact action each demands
Interpret common warning signs (pedestrian crossing, school zone, sharp bend, slippery road, narrow bridge, cattle crossing) and state the speed or lane adjustment each implies
Explain lane markings, kerb markings, zebra crossings and chevron markings, and describe what a broken versus solid line permits
Complete 60 sign-and-marking practice questions and log every miss with the correct meaning
Your checkpoint
A handwritten or typed one-page sign cheat sheet covering at least 40 signs and markings with meanings, plus a scored 60-question practice set with error log
Road Signs, Signals and Markings & Traffic Rules and Regulations
Apply right-of-way rules at junctions, roundabouts, T-junctions and uncontrolled intersections by working through at least 15 scenario descriptions
State Nigerian speed limits for built-up areas, highways and expressways, and identify the signage that establishes each limit
Explain overtaking rules, including where overtaking is prohibited and the safe procedure for passing
Describe parking, stopping and no-waiting restrictions and match each to the sign or marking that enforces it
Summarise the core duties of a driver at traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and railway crossings
Your checkpoint
A 25-question timed rules-and-signals quiz scored at 80% or above, with a written correction note for every wrong answer
Traffic Rules and Regulations
Outline the sequence of actions at a roundabout, a four-way stop and a traffic-light failure, and state who yields in each case
State the rules on seat belts, child restraints, mobile phone use and carrying passengers or loads
Explain the legal and practical rules for emergency vehicles, including how to give way to ambulances, fire service and FRSC patrols
Describe documentation a driver must carry (licence, vehicle papers, insurance) and the consequences of driving without them
Recite the penalties or enforcement outcomes commonly attached to major traffic offences such as speeding, dangerous driving and driving without a licence
Your checkpoint
A one-page rules summary table listing at least 15 traffic rules with the required driver action and the associated offence or penalty
Safe Driving Practices and Defensive Driving
Define defensive driving and list the key habits (observation, anticipation, space cushion, escape route) with a concrete example of each
Apply the two-second following-distance rule and explain how to adjust it for rain, night and heavy vehicles
Identify the main causes of collisions (speeding, distraction, poor judgement, vehicle defects) and match each to a preventive behaviour
Describe how to handle common hazards: pedestrians stepping out, okada riders weaving, potholes, animals and parked vehicles
Explain the effects of fatigue and emotion on driving and state practical countermeasures
Your checkpoint
A written hazard-response sheet covering 10 realistic Nigerian road scenarios, each with the defensive action a driver should take
Vehicle Controls, Pre-Trip Checks and Basic Maintenance
Identify and demonstrate the function of primary controls: steering, accelerator, brake, clutch, gear lever, handbrake and mirrors
List the items checked in a pre-trip inspection (tyres and tread, lights, fluids, brakes, wipers, horn, mirrors) and state the pass/fail criterion for each
Explain basic maintenance intervals and warning signs for tyres, brakes, battery, coolant and engine oil
Describe what to do when a warning light appears or a tyre punctures while driving
Explain correct seating position, mirror adjustment and blind-spot checks
Your checkpoint
A completed pre-trip inspection checklist of at least 20 items with pass/fail criteria, plus a short written walkthrough of changing a tyre safely
Road Traffic Crashes: Causes, Prevention and Emergency Response & Alcohol, Drugs, Fatigue and Distracted Driving
Classify the leading causes of road traffic crashes and explain how each is preventable
Describe the correct emergency response at a crash scene: securing the scene, calling for help, first aid priorities and not moving casualties unnecessarily
State the legal obligations of a driver involved in a crash, including stopping and reporting
Explain the effects of alcohol on reaction time, judgement and vision, and state the legal position on drink-driving in Nigeria
Identify the risks of drug use, fatigue and phone distraction, and list three countermeasures for each
Your checkpoint
A two-part written brief: a crash-scene response procedure in numbered steps, and a one-page summary of alcohol, drug, fatigue and distraction risks with countermeasures
Driving in Adverse Conditions and at Night
Adjust speed, following distance and lighting for rain, fog, harmattan dust and flooded roads, and state when to pull over
Explain night-driving hazards (glare, reduced visibility, unlit pedestrians and vehicles) and the correct use of headlights and fog lights
Describe safe behaviour on expressways at night and in poor visibility, including lane discipline and hazard warning use
Explain aquaplaning, skidding and brake fade, and the recovery action for each
List vehicle checks specific to adverse conditions (tyres, wipers, lights, coolant, brake condition)
Your checkpoint
A one-page adverse-conditions quick-reference card covering rain, fog, harmattan, night and flooded-road responses
FRSC Mandate, Enforcement and Driver Licensing Procedures & Road Signs, Signals and Markings & Traffic Rules and Regulations
Summarise the FRSC mandate: road safety administration, enforcement, driver licensing, vehicle inspection and crash response
Outline the driver licensing process, including learner stage, testing and licence categories
Explain how FRSC enforcement works (patrols, speed cameras, offences and penalties) and what a driver should expect at a checkpoint
Re-run a full mixed mock exam across all eight domains under timed conditions and score at least 85%
Review every missed question from weeks 1 to 8 and close remaining knowledge gaps
Your checkpoint
A full timed mock exam result of 85% or above, plus a final one-page consolidated revision sheet covering all eight domains
