Always confirm the current requirements with your driving school or the traffic department.

Q: Is this practice test free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no signup or payment, and you can retake it as many times as you like.

Q: What does the Al Bahah truck & bus theory test cover?

Road signs, traffic signals, right of way, roundabouts, speed limits, seat belts, penalties and safe-driving rules, plus the handling and safety topics specific to your vehicle.

Question 1

At an uncontrolled junction with no signs, signals, or road markings in Saudi Arabia, which vehicle generally has priority?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle approaching from the right has priority. At an uncontrolled junction with no signs or signals, Saudi traffic regulations follow the GCC rule that the vehicle approaching from the right has priority. However, this situation should be treated with extreme caution and at low speed. Confirm the precise rule with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor) as application can vary in practice.

Answer

The vehicle approaching from the left has priority

Answer

The larger vehicle always has priority

Answer

The vehicle that arrives first always has priority

Question 2

Two vehicles arrive at an unmarked intersection at the same time from different roads. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle on the right has priority. The correct answer is the vehicle on the right. At an unmarked intersection with no signs or signals, Saudi traffic law (in line with the GCC traffic rules) gives priority to the vehicle approaching from the right. Always approach unmarked junctions slowly in case of a dispute.

Answer

The larger vehicle has priority

Answer

The vehicle that arrived first has priority

Answer

Neither has priority; both must stop and yield to each other indefinitely

Question 3

A pedestrian steps off the pavement between parked cars at a point that is not a crossing. Who is at fault if a collision occurs?

Accepted Answer

Primarily the pedestrian, but the driver also has a duty to anticipate hazards and may share responsibility. A pedestrian crossing outside a designated crossing takes primary responsibility, but a driver always has a duty of care and must anticipate hazards such as pedestrians emerging from between parked vehicles. Responsibility can be shared. Confirm how Saudi law apportions liability with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Always the driver, because pedestrians always have right of way

Answer

Always the pedestrian, because crossing outside a crossing is illegal

Answer

Neither party; it is an unavoidable accident

Question 4

A driver has been awake for 20 hours straight. Research suggests this impairs driving to a level comparable to what blood alcohol level?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 0.08 to 0.10 percent blood alcohol content. The correct answer is approximately 0.08 to 0.10 percent, above many countries' legal limits. Fatigue is a leading cause of fatal accidents on Saudi highways, especially on long desert routes. If you feel drowsy, the only safe action is to stop and sleep. Confirm fatigue-driving guidance with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

No impairment, as long as the driver feels alert

Answer

Approximately 0.05 percent blood alcohol content

Answer

Approximately 0.01 percent blood alcohol content

Question 5

A driver ignores a pedestrian crossing where pedestrians are waiting to cross in a residential area in Saudi Arabia. What offence has occurred?

Accepted Answer

Failing to give way to pedestrians at a marked crossing, which is a fineable traffic violation. Saudi traffic law requires drivers to give way to pedestrians at marked crossings. Failing to do so is a fineable offence and is particularly dangerous in residential areas. The exact fine can change, so confirm the current schedule with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor) via Absher.

Answer

No offence, unless the pedestrians had already stepped onto the crossing

Answer

Only an offence if the crossing is in a school zone

Answer

Pedestrian crossings in residential areas are advisory, not mandatory

Question 6

A bus driver discovers that the emergency exit door at the rear of the bus is jammed and will not open. What should the driver do?

Accepted Answer

Take the bus out of service immediately and not carry passengers until the emergency exit is repaired and functioning correctly. Emergency exits on buses are a legal safety requirement. A bus with a non-functional emergency exit must be taken out of service immediately. Carrying passengers in a bus with defective emergency exits is illegal and could result in deaths in the event of a fire or collision.

Answer

Continue operating the route because the front door provides an alternative exit

Answer

Inform passengers of the problem verbally and ask them to use the front door only in an emergency

Answer

Block the rear seats off and continue operating with the reduced passenger capacity

Question 7

What colour are emergency and service facility directional signs (hospitals, police, petrol stations) in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Blue rectangle with white symbols or text. Emergency and service facility signs (hospitals, police stations, petrol stations, etc.) in Saudi Arabia are typically blue rectangles with white symbols or text. Green rectangles are reserved for route and destination signs on expressways and major roads.

Answer

Red rectangle with white text

Answer

Yellow rectangle with black text

Answer

Green rectangle with white text

Question 8

What is the safest position to adopt when waiting to make a right turn at a junction?

Accepted Answer

Wait in the right turn lane or as close to the right kerb as possible without blocking pedestrians. The correct answer is to position close to the right and wait in the designated turn lane where provided. This reduces the width of your turn, keeps you out of the path of through traffic, and prevents other drivers from attempting to pass on your right.

Answer

Stop in the middle of the road straddling both lanes

Answer

Move to the left lane and then cross all lanes while turning

Answer

Any position is acceptable provided you use your indicator

Question 9

A large truck is navigating a roundabout and its rear swings wide into the outer lane due to its length. What should you do if you are in the outer lane alongside it?

Accepted Answer

Give way to the truck; drop back to avoid being in its blind spot and swing path. Large vehicles need extra space and may swing wide or track differently from smaller vehicles. Staying alongside a large truck at a roundabout puts you in its blind spot and its swing path. Drop back and give it room. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Hold your position; the truck must not cross your lane

Answer

Accelerate to pass the truck before it swings

Answer

Sound your horn to warn the truck driver and proceed normally

Question 10

You see an accident ahead on the highway and slow down to look. This behaviour is known as what and why is it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Rubbernecking; it creates secondary accidents because drivers are distracted and may rear-end slowing traffic. The correct answer is rubbernecking, which creates secondary accidents. Drivers who stare at a crash scene fail to notice that traffic ahead has slowed or stopped, causing additional collisions. Focus on the road ahead, slow smoothly, and leave room for emergency vehicles. Confirm safe passing of accident scenes with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Defensive driving; it is not dangerous

Answer

Hazard scanning; it is recommended in driver training

Answer

Gap-following; it is safe because traffic is already slow

Question 11

A vehicle owner receives a fine for a Saher speeding violation but claims they were not driving the vehicle at the time. What should they do?

Accepted Answer

File an appeal through Absher or Moroor, providing evidence of who was driving, within the permitted appeal window. Saher fines are issued to the registered owner because the camera records the vehicle, not the driver. If someone else was driving, the owner should appeal through Absher or Moroor and provide evidence (such as an insurance claim or a third-party declaration). There is a formal appeal process that must be used within the specified time window.

Answer

Simply pay the fine; registered owners are always responsible and cannot appeal

Answer

Ignore the fine until it appears at Istimara renewal, then explain verbally

Answer

Contact Najm to have the fine transferred to the actual driver's record automatically

Question 12

A bus driver is involved in a minor collision that damages the front bumper. The bus is otherwise driveable and passengers are uninjured. What is the correct procedure?

Accepted Answer

Stop, secure the vehicle, check all passengers for injury, call the emergency services and the operator to report the incident, and follow official instructions before moving. Any collision involving a passenger-carrying vehicle must be reported to emergency services and the operator regardless of apparent injury. Some injuries are not immediately apparent, and the operator must be informed to arrange a replacement vehicle and carry out an incident investigation. The driver should not move the vehicle until instructed by the relevant authority.

Answer

Continue to the next stop and report the damage at the depot at the end of the shift

Answer

Ask passengers if they are okay and, if they say yes, continue the route without reporting

Answer

Exchange details with the other driver and continue immediately without reporting to the operator

Question 13

Green rectangular signs with white text on Saudi roads are used for what purpose?

Accepted Answer

Route directions and destinations on major roads and expressways. Green rectangles with white text are used for route guidance, destination names, and distances on expressways and major roads in Saudi Arabia. They help drivers navigate without needing to slow down significantly to read the sign.

Answer

Warning of environmental hazards

Answer

Indicating mandatory speed zones

Answer

Showing tourist attractions only

Question 14

What does the word 'Moroor' refer to in Saudi traffic and licensing matters?

Accepted Answer

The General Department of Traffic, the authority responsible for road safety and licensing in Saudi Arabia. The correct answer is the General Department of Traffic, known in Arabic as Moroor (Idarat al-Moroor). It is the government body under the Ministry of Interior responsible for traffic laws, licences, and road safety in Saudi Arabia.

Answer

A type of Saudi motorway

Answer

The mandatory vehicle registration document

Answer

A Saudi driving school qualification

Question 15

An emergency vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder with its warning lights flashing. You are in the lane nearest the hard shoulder. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Move to a lane further from the hard shoulder if safe to do so, or slow down significantly. When passing a stopped emergency vehicle with lights flashing, you should move one lane further away if it is safe to do so. If lane change is not possible, significantly reduce speed. This protects responders working at the roadside. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Maintain your speed and position

Answer

Speed up to pass the stationary vehicle quickly

Answer

Stop on the hard shoulder behind the emergency vehicle

Question 16

Why is it important to signal before every lane change on a Saudi highway?

Accepted Answer

Signalling gives other drivers time to react and maintain safe spacing around you. The correct answer is that signalling gives other drivers time to react. At highway speeds, even a fraction of a second of warning can prevent a collision. Signal well before you begin to move. Failure to indicate before changing lanes is a traffic violation in Saudi Arabia. Confirm signal requirements with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Indicators improve fuel economy

Answer

Indicators are only needed when turning off a highway

Answer

You only need to signal if another vehicle is directly behind you

Question 17

A driver is caught using a mobile phone to watch a video while the vehicle is moving on a Saudi road. How serious is this offence?

Accepted Answer

Very serious, as it constitutes both a mobile-phone-use violation and potentially distracted or reckless driving, compounding the penalty. Watching a video on a mobile phone while driving represents extreme distraction and is a serious traffic offence. It combines the hand-held phone use violation with evidence of dangerous driving behaviour. Saudi traffic enforcement treats distracted driving as a major road safety risk, and the penalties reflect this. The exact fine can change, so confirm with Moroor via Absher.

Answer

A minor administrative matter with no points, just a small fee

Answer

Only serious if the driver exceeds the speed limit at the same time

Answer

Not an offence if the phone is mounted in a cradle on the dashboard

Question 18

What marking system identifies a heavy vehicle carrying dangerous goods on Saudi roads?

Accepted Answer

Orange-coloured hazard identification number panels and UN number plates on the front and rear, plus diamond-shaped hazard warning labels on the sides and ends of the tank or container. Dangerous goods vehicles must display orange hazard identification number panels front and rear, plus the appropriate diamond-shaped hazard labels indicating the class of hazard. These markings allow emergency services to immediately identify the substance involved in the event of an accident and take appropriate action.

Answer

A single red flag attached to the rear of the vehicle

Answer

A yellow flashing light on the roof of the cab is the only requirement

Answer

No special markings are required if the cargo is in sealed containers

Question 19

A blue circular sign shows a car with its headlights illuminated. What does this mandatory sign require?

Accepted Answer

You must use your headlights on this section of road. A blue circular sign showing a lit vehicle headlamp is a mandatory instruction to use headlights. This may appear at the entrance to tunnels, underpasses, or on roads with restricted visibility. Headlights must be switched on and remain on throughout that section.

Answer

High-beam headlights are prohibited here

Answer

Headlights must be switched off in the tunnel

Answer

Only vehicles with working lights may enter

Question 20

At what distance should you generally place warning triangles behind a broken-down vehicle on a Saudi road?

Accepted Answer

At a distance that gives approaching drivers enough warning to slow down safely; confirm the exact figure with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor). The correct answer is far enough away to give adequate warning. On high-speed roads the triangle must be further away than on low-speed roads. Typical guidance suggests at least 100 metres on a highway, but confirm the required distances with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Directly behind the vehicle, touching the bumper

Answer

Warning triangles are only required on highways, not city roads

Answer

10 metres behind the vehicle is always sufficient

Question 21

You are in the closing lane of a two-to-one merge caused by a lane drop. The lane next to you is the continuing lane. What is the correct zip-merge behaviour?

Accepted Answer

Continue to the merge point and then alternate with traffic in the continuing lane. Late zip-merging at the actual merge point is the recommended technique. Both lanes use their full capacity to the point of merge and then alternate. Early merging creates longer queues. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Immediately move to the continuing lane as soon as you see the signs

Answer

Stop in your lane and wait for the continuing lane to clear completely

Answer

Accelerate past as many vehicles as possible before the merge point

Question 22

What is the danger of driving with a heavily loaded roof rack that raises the vehicle's centre of gravity?

Accepted Answer

It increases the risk of rollover, especially during sudden lane changes or when cornering at speed. The correct answer is that a high centre of gravity increases rollover risk during sudden steering or cornering. This is particularly relevant to SUVs, which are common in Saudi Arabia. With a loaded roof rack, reduce speed when cornering, increase following distance, and avoid abrupt steering inputs. Confirm loading regulations with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

It reduces fuel consumption

Answer

It only affects braking on gravel roads

Answer

It improves traction in sand

Question 23

A driver accumulates enough violation points in Saudi Arabia to trigger a licence suspension. During the suspension period, what happens if they continue to drive?

Accepted Answer

Driving while suspended is a serious additional offence that can lead to arrest, heavy fines and an extended or permanent licence ban. Driving while your licence is suspended is an offence in addition to the original violations that caused the suspension. In Saudi Arabia, this can result in arrest, additional heavy fines and a longer or permanent ban. A suspended licence must not be used to drive under any circumstances.

Answer

The suspension is only advisory; the driver can appeal and continue driving normally

Answer

No additional penalty applies; the original suspension is the only consequence

Answer

The driver is permitted to drive to work only during a licence suspension

Question 24

What document must a driver of a dangerous-goods vehicle carry at all times during transport?

Accepted Answer

A transport document listing the UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, and emergency response information for each dangerous good carried. Drivers of dangerous-goods vehicles must carry a transport document (also called a consignment note or declaration) that identifies each substance by UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, and quantity. Emergency information panels or written instructions must also be on board so that emergency services know what they are dealing with if an incident occurs.

Answer

Only the vehicle registration and driving licence are required, the same as for any other truck

Answer

A letter from the loading company confirming that the cargo has been checked

Answer

A certificate of insurance covering the dangerous goods

Question 25

What should you do when you see a warning sign indicating animals on the road ahead?

Accepted Answer

Reduce speed and be prepared to stop - animals may appear suddenly. An animal crossing warning sign tells drivers that animals (camels, goats, or other livestock) may be on or near the road. You must reduce speed significantly as animals can appear suddenly and are very difficult to see at night. A collision with a camel at speed is often fatal. Never sound your horn aggressively as it can startle animals and make the situation more dangerous.

Answer

Sound your horn continuously to frighten the animals away

Answer

Switch on your hazard lights and accelerate past quickly

Answer

Continue at normal speed as animals usually move off the road

Question 26

You are involved in a minor road traffic collision with no injuries in Saudi Arabia. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Move vehicles off the road if safe to do so, exchange details, and report to traffic police or use the official app as required. The correct answer is to move clear of traffic if safe, exchange insurance and contact details, and report through the required channel. In Saudi Arabia, the Najm (Najm for Insurance Services) system allows minor accident reporting online or via app. Leaving the scene is an offence.

Answer

Leave the scene immediately to avoid causing more congestion

Answer

Argue with the other driver and decide who was at fault privately, then drive away

Answer

Only report the collision if the damage exceeds a certain cost, which you estimate yourself

Question 27

You are leaving a private road and joining a public road. There is no GIVE WAY or STOP sign. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic already on the public road has priority. Traffic on the public road always has priority over vehicles emerging from private roads, car parks, service stations, or other private land. You must give way to all traffic before joining the public road. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

You have priority because you are joining the road

Answer

Right-hand priority applies so give way to traffic from your right only

Answer

Both vehicles must stop and negotiate

Question 28

You suspect the driver in front has been driving erratically. What is the safest defensive action?

Accepted Answer

Increase your following distance significantly, avoid overtaking unless clearly safe, and if necessary pull over and report to police. The correct answer is to increase following distance, avoid overtaking unless clearly safe, and consider contacting police. An erratic driver is unpredictable; a large gap gives you reaction time for sudden braking or swerving. Do not attempt to intervene directly. Confirm traffic-hazard reporting with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Overtake them quickly to get away from the risk

Answer

Flash your lights to warn them to drive better

Answer

Follow at exactly 2 seconds to monitor them closely

Question 29

A driver changes lanes without using an indicator on a Saudi motorway and nearly causes a collision. Which offence applies?

Accepted Answer

Failing to signal when changing lanes, and depending on the circumstances, also potentially dangerous driving. Failing to use an indicator when changing lanes is a traffic violation in Saudi Arabia. If the manoeuvre also endangers other road users, the driver can additionally face a dangerous driving charge. Proper lane-change procedure requires checking mirrors, signalling and moving safely when the lane is clear.

Answer

No offence, as indicators are advisory on motorways

Answer

Only an offence at night when visibility is reduced

Answer

Only an offence if physical contact is made with another vehicle

Question 30

A truck carrying flammable liquids is involved in an accident and the tank begins to leak. What is the driver's immediate priority?

Accepted Answer

Move away from the vehicle, warn other road users, call the emergency services, provide the transport document to rescuers, and prevent ignition sources from approaching. When a dangerous-goods vehicle leaks, the driver's immediate priority is to move to a safe distance, prevent other people from approaching, eliminate ignition sources, and call emergency services. The transport document must be handed to the emergency services so they know what they are dealing with. Attempting to repair the leak is extremely dangerous.

Answer

Attempt to repair the leak using tools from the cab to prevent spillage

Answer

Drive the vehicle to the nearest fire station at reduced speed

Answer

Cover the leak with a tarpaulin and wait for the operator to send a recovery vehicle
