DRIVER THEORY TEST
A person seeking a first time learner permit in a licence
category must first pass a theory test. Among the topics
examined are: knowledge of road safety, technical aspects of
vehicles, environmental driving and legal aspects of driving.
There are separate tests for buses, trucks, motorcycles, and
for motorcars and work vehicles. In September 2008, a
separate theory test for Buses was introduced as part of the
Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for professional
bus drivers. A similar test for professional truck drivers was
introduced in September 2009.
