Nepal DOTM Category B Car study guide
Nepal DOTM Category B Car · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Category B licence is the standard Nepali driving licence for light motor vehicles - private cars and similar light vehicles up to the category's defined weight and seating limits. You need it before you can legally drive a car on public roads in Nepal, and it is the licence most private motorists, family drivers and light-vehicle delivery drivers hold. The Nepal DOTM Category B Car study guide has 7 sections and about 2,489 words.
01Traffic Signs, Signals, and Road Markings (Nepal DOTM Category B)
Signs, signals and markings are the language the road uses to tell you what to do. In the Category B written paper this domain is tested through word-based scenario questions: you are given a situation and asked what a shape, colour, light or line requires of you, in a country that drives on the left.
360 words, about 2 min02Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way (Nepal DOTM Category B)
Nepal drives on the left with right-hand-drive cars, so the entire right-of-way system follows left-hand traffic logic. Exam questions here are junction puzzles: who moves first, and who must wait.
366 words, about 2 min03Safe Driving Practices and Defensive Driving (Nepal DOTM Category B)
Defensive driving assumes the other road user will make a mistake, and that you already have the room and time to absorb it. Questions here describe ordinary Nepali scenes - buses stopping without warning, cattle on the highway, schoolchildren at the kerb, motorbikes filtering - and ask what a careful driver does next.

Questions in this domain test whether you can tell a normal noise from a warning, and whether your pre-trip check would actually catch a fault. Because Nepal's test includes hill driving, brake and gear questions are frequent.

Most Nepali crash scenarios in this domain involve hill roads: single-lane sections, blind bends, drop-offs without barriers. Keep left, sound the horn on blind bends, and reduce speed before the bend, not in it.
341 words, about 2 min06Accidents, Emergencies, and First Aid (Nepal DOTM Category B)
Stop, switch off the engine, put on hazard lights and place a warning triangle up the road on the traffic side, far enough back that approaching drivers can react. Do not move an injured person unless there is fire, fuel or falling-load risk - a suspected spinal injury is worse than a delay.
