Q: Is this the real exam?

These are original practice questions to help you revise. They are not the official Saudi exam and the real question bank, format, fees and pass mark are set by the General Department of Traffic (Moroor) and the driving schools, and can change. 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 Qassim light vehicle 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

What does a blue rectangular sign with a bold white P tell drivers?

Accepted Answer

Parking is permitted in this area. A blue rectangle with a white P is an informational sign indicating that parking is available or permitted nearby. The specific conditions (time limits, fees) are often shown on supplementary plates beneath the main sign.

Answer

No parking is allowed here

Answer

Petrol station is nearby

Answer

Police station ahead

Question 2

A pedestrian is waiting at a marked crossing (zebra crossing). What are you required to do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and give the pedestrian priority to cross. The correct answer is to stop and give way. Pedestrians at a marked crossing have the right of way. Failing to stop is an offence and endangers lives. Approach crossings at a speed that allows you to stop in time.

Answer

Flash your headlights and continue at the same speed

Answer

Sound the horn to let the pedestrian know you are coming

Answer

Only stop if a traffic signal instructs you to

Question 3

The traffic signals at a pedestrian crossing are flashing amber after the green phase. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Give way to pedestrians still on the crossing and proceed only when the crossing is clear. A flashing amber phase at a pedestrian crossing means you may proceed only when the crossing is clear. Any pedestrian already on the crossing still has right of way. Do not move until all pedestrians have reached the footway. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Proceed at full speed because pedestrians should have already crossed

Answer

Stop and wait for the next green phase

Answer

Sound your horn to warn pedestrians to hurry

Question 4

Why should you avoid cutting in front of a large truck immediately after overtaking it?

Accepted Answer

Trucks need a much longer stopping distance than cars, so cutting in front leaves insufficient space for them to brake. The correct answer is that trucks need a much longer stopping distance. A fully loaded truck may need twice the distance of a car to stop. Cutting sharply in front removes that margin entirely. After overtaking a truck, move back in only when you can see the truck's full front in your rear-view mirror. Confirm safe overtaking distances with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Trucks accelerate faster than cars and may rear-end you

Answer

It is only a problem at night

Answer

Trucks always drive at higher speeds than cars

Question 5

A driver fits an aftermarket exhaust that produces very loud noise and drives it on public roads in Saudi Arabia. Is this allowed?

Accepted Answer

No, modified exhausts that produce excessive noise are illegal and can result in a fine and an order to restore the vehicle to a legal specification. Saudi traffic and municipality regulations prohibit vehicles with noise levels that exceed legal limits, including non-standard exhausts. Offending vehicles are fined and the driver may be required to remove the illegal modification. The exact fine can change, so confirm the current schedule with Moroor via Absher.

Answer

Yes, as long as the modification was done by a licensed workshop

Answer

Yes, there are no noise regulations for private vehicles in Saudi Arabia

Answer

Only illegal between 10 pm and 6 am in residential areas

Question 6

A blue circle shows a white arrow curving to the right. What does this mandatory sign require you to do?

Accepted Answer

Turn or keep right - you must not go straight or turn left. A blue circle with a white arrow pointing in a direction is a mandatory direction sign. You must follow the direction shown. A curved right arrow means you are required to turn right or keep to the right. Ignoring it is an offence.

Answer

Overtaking is permitted on the right side

Answer

The right lane is for merging traffic

Answer

You have right of way at the next junction

Question 7

You are turning right at a junction. A pedestrian is crossing the road you are turning into. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The pedestrian; you must wait until they have safely crossed. The correct answer is the pedestrian. Even when you have a green light to turn, pedestrians crossing the road you are entering have priority. Always check for pedestrians before completing any turning manoeuvre.

Answer

You, because you have a green light to turn

Answer

The pedestrian only if they are already on the crossing

Answer

Neither; you must both stop and negotiate

Question 8

At a roundabout with three lanes, you are in the middle lane. Which exits can you appropriately use without crossing other lanes dangerously?

Accepted Answer

The second and third exits going partway round the roundabout. In the middle lane of a multi-lane roundabout you should generally use intermediate exits, not the first exit (which suits the outer lane) and not the last exit requiring you to travel more than halfway (which suits the inner lane). Always signal and check mirrors before changing lanes to exit. Confirm lane-use rules with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Only the first exit

Answer

Any exit without restriction

Answer

Only exits beyond the halfway point of the roundabout

Question 9

Your vehicle breaks down on a Saudi highway. What is the correct sequence of actions?

Accepted Answer

Switch on hazard lights, move the vehicle to the hard shoulder if possible, place a warning triangle at least 100 metres behind, and stand well away from traffic. The correct answer is to activate hazard lights, move off the road, place a warning triangle behind the vehicle, and stand away from traffic. Warning triangles alert following traffic early enough for them to react. Standing behind or near the vehicle on the carriageway is extremely dangerous. Confirm breakdown procedure with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Stay in the vehicle and call for help without moving

Answer

Walk along the carriageway to the nearest phone

Answer

Open the bonnet and wait for other drivers to stop

Question 10

A driver throws a plastic water bottle out of their car window while driving on a Saudi road. What offence has been committed?

Accepted Answer

Littering from a vehicle, which is a fineable offence under Saudi environmental and traffic regulations. Throwing rubbish from a vehicle is prohibited in Saudi Arabia and is a fineable offence. The Kingdom runs active cleanliness campaigns and authorities can issue fines to drivers observed littering. The exact fine can change, so confirm the current schedule with Moroor or the relevant municipality.

Answer

No offence; littering laws only apply to pedestrians

Answer

An offence only if the litter lands on another vehicle and causes damage

Answer

Only an offence in national parks; city roads have no littering rules for vehicles

Question 11

What does it mean when a pictogram inside a red-bordered circle has a red diagonal bar across it?

Accepted Answer

The action or vehicle type shown is prohibited. A red diagonal bar across a circular sign negates whatever is shown in the pictogram. For example, a bicycle with a red bar means No Cyclists, and a U-turn arrow with a red bar means No U-turn. It is the standard way to show a specific prohibition in the GCC system.

Answer

The action shown is recommended

Answer

The restriction is temporary due to road works

Answer

The sign applies only in an emergency

Question 12

You need to reverse out of a driveway onto a busy road. What is the safest approach?

Accepted Answer

Check mirrors and blind spots thoroughly, reverse slowly, and have someone guide you if possible. The correct answer is to check all mirrors and blind spots, reverse slowly, and use a guide if available. Reversing onto a road is one of the most common causes of low-speed collisions and pedestrian incidents. You must give way to all road users when reversing.

Answer

Reverse quickly to minimise time in traffic

Answer

Sound your horn and reverse continuously

Answer

Reverse without checking because you have right of way in your own driveway

Question 13

A police vehicle with lights and siren is travelling in the opposite direction on a dual carriageway. Do you need to make way for it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, slow down and be ready to stop in case the police vehicle crosses the central reservation. An emergency vehicle with lights and siren on an opposing carriageway may cross the central reservation or a break in the central barrier. You should remain alert, reduce speed, and be prepared to stop. Do not pull onto the hard shoulder without checking it is safe. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

No, because it is in the opposite carriageway and cannot affect you

Answer

Only if the police vehicle is heading towards your carriageway

Answer

Yes, immediately move onto the hard shoulder

Question 14

At what minimum distance behind a broken-down vehicle on a Saudi highway should a warning triangle be placed?

Accepted Answer

At least 100 metres. The correct answer is at least 100 metres. At highway speeds, drivers need significant distance to see the triangle and decelerate safely. On curves or hills, the triangle should be placed even further back so it is visible before the hazard comes into view. Confirm exact legal distances with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

10 metres

Answer

50 metres

Answer

500 metres

Question 15

At what speed above the posted limit does a speeding fine in Saudi Arabia typically escalate from a minor tier to a more serious tier?

Accepted Answer

The penalty tiers escalate progressively; for example, exceeding the limit by up to 20 km/h, 20-30 km/h and more than 30 km/h each attract increasingly severe fines and more points. Saudi Arabia's tiered speeding penalty system means the faster you travel above the speed limit, the heavier the fine and the more violation points recorded. Extreme speeding can additionally lead to vehicle impoundment. Because exact fine amounts and tier thresholds can change, always confirm the current schedule with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor) via Absher.

Answer

There is only one fine amount regardless of how far above the limit the driver is travelling

Answer

Speeding is only penalised when exceeding the limit by more than 40 km/h

Answer

The tiers apply only on school-zone roads, not on highways

Question 16

Which sign in the Saudi / GCC system has a unique octagonal shape not shared by any other sign?

Accepted Answer

The STOP sign. The STOP sign is the only traffic sign in the GCC (and worldwide Vienna Convention) system that uses an octagonal (eight-sided) shape. This unique shape means it can be recognised even if the text or colour is obscured, for example when faded or dusty.

Answer

The Give Way sign

Answer

The No Entry sign

Answer

The No Overtaking sign

Question 17

How far is it generally prohibited to reverse along a public road in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

You must not reverse further than is necessary to complete a lawful manoeuvre. The correct answer is to reverse only as far as necessary. Reversing long distances on public roads is dangerous because other drivers do not expect it and your rearward visibility is limited. It is also an offence to reverse onto a main road from a minor road.

Answer

Up to 50 metres is always permitted

Answer

Reversing on public roads is never permitted under any circumstances

Answer

There is no distance restriction on reversing

Question 18

A lane on the motorway is being closed by amber flashing lights on a gantry sign. How must you respond?

Accepted Answer

Move out of that lane as soon as it is safe and before the closure. A lane closure sign on a gantry with amber arrows means that lane is being closed ahead. You must move out of that lane at the earliest safe opportunity, giving way to traffic already in the adjacent lane. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Continue in the lane until the lane markings end

Answer

Remain in the closed lane; it is the responsibility of the lane closure crew to redirect you

Answer

Slow to 30 km/h but you can remain in the closed lane

Question 19

You arrive at a road traffic collision. What is the very first action you should take?

Accepted Answer

Make the scene safe: warn approaching traffic, switch off engines if possible, and call emergency services. The correct answer is to make the scene safe first by warning traffic, switching off engines, and calling emergency services. Moving injured persons risks causing further injury unless there is an immediate fire risk. The emergency services will advise on first aid. Confirm crash-scene procedures with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Move all injured persons away from the vehicles immediately

Answer

Take photographs for your insurance before doing anything else

Answer

Remove passengers from vehicles before calling for help

Question 20

A Saher camera records a vehicle exceeding the speed limit. The registered owner is an expatriate living in Saudi Arabia. Who is held responsible for the fine?

Accepted Answer

The registered owner of the vehicle, regardless of who was driving at the time. Saher camera fines are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle. If an expatriate owns or leases the vehicle, the fine is linked to their Iqama number and appears in Absher. The owner is responsible and must pay before vehicle registration can be renewed. If someone else was driving, the owner must resolve this separately.

Answer

The fine is automatically cancelled for expatriates and a warning is sent to the employer instead

Answer

Only Saudi national owners can be fined by Saher; expatriate-registered vehicles are exempt

Answer

The company that leased the vehicle to the driver bears all liability

Question 21

What colour is the border of a Give Way sign in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Red. The Give Way sign is a downward-pointing equilateral triangle with a red border and a white interior. The red border is consistent with its regulatory nature. The shape (inverted triangle) alone is internationally recognised as the Give Way symbol.

Answer

Blue

Answer

Yellow

Answer

Black

Question 22

When towing a trailer or another vehicle, what does Saudi law require regarding speed?

Accepted Answer

Reduce your speed to the towing speed limit, which is lower than the standard limit. The correct answer is to reduce speed to the lower towing limit. Towing increases your vehicle's total weight, extends stopping distance, and makes handling less predictable. The specific towing speed limit varies by road type; confirm the exact figure with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Maintain normal speed at all times

Answer

Exceed the speed limit only on highways to keep up with traffic

Answer

Speed limits do not apply to towing vehicles

Question 23

You are about to enter an unmarked crossroads from the south. A vehicle is approaching from the east and another from the north. Which vehicle do you give way to?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle from the east, because it is on your right; the vehicle from the north has you on its right so it gives way to you. Applying right-hand priority: travelling from the south, the vehicle from the east is to your right so you give way to it. The vehicle from the north has you (coming from the south) on its right, so it gives way to you. Each driver checks who is on their own right. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Only the vehicle from the east, as it is on your right

Answer

Only the vehicle from the north, as it is on your left

Answer

Both vehicles, because you arrived last

Question 24

After a collision in Saudi Arabia, what number do you call for emergency services?

Accepted Answer

911. The correct answer is 911 for police and general emergencies in Saudi Arabia. The number 998 is for civil defence (fire). Always save emergency numbers in your phone before travel. Confirm current Saudi emergency numbers with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

999

Answer

112

Answer

998

Question 25

A child aged four is seated in the front passenger seat without any child restraint. What should the driver do to comply with Saudi regulations?

Accepted Answer

Move the child to a rear seat secured in an age- and weight-appropriate child seat or booster seat. Young children must travel in an appropriate child restraint in the rear of the vehicle. Placing a young child in the front seat without a proper restraint is dangerous (due to airbag risk among other hazards) and is prohibited. Saudi law requires an appropriate child seat based on the child's age and weight.

Answer

The child is fine in the front as long as the adult passenger holds them securely

Answer

Fasten the adult seatbelt around the child in the front seat

Answer

Children under five are not required to use a child seat under Saudi law

Question 26

A solid white continuous line is painted along the centre of your lane on a Saudi road. What does this mean?

Accepted Answer

You must not cross it to overtake - overtaking is prohibited here. A solid (continuous) white centre line means overtaking is prohibited. You must not cross it to pass another vehicle. Broken (dashed) lines indicate that overtaking is permitted when safe. Road-marking rules in Saudi Arabia follow the GCC standard.

Answer

You may cross it to overtake if it is safe

Answer

It marks a bus-only lane boundary

Answer

It marks the road edge and may be crossed to park

Question 27

What is a key safety check before towing a broken-down vehicle with a tow rope?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the tow rope is in good condition, the correct length, and clearly marked if it could be a hazard to other drivers. The correct answer is checking the tow rope's condition, length, and visibility. A frayed or excessively long rope can snap or drag on the road. Regulations may require a flag or marker on the rope; confirm requirements with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Check that the broken-down vehicle's radio is off

Answer

Make sure the broken-down vehicle's engine is running

Answer

The towing vehicle must always be larger than the towed vehicle

Question 28

A GIVE WAY sign is posted at a roundabout entry. A vehicle is already circulating. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop or slow until the circulating vehicle has passed, then enter safely. A GIVE WAY sign at a roundabout entry confirms that you must yield to circulating traffic. Wait for a safe gap before entering. The GIVE WAY sign makes this obligation explicit. Confirm with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

Enter and let the circulating vehicle adjust

Answer

Flash your headlights to indicate your intention to enter

Answer

Give way only if the circulating vehicle is to your right

Question 29

What is aquaplaning and when is it most likely to occur?

Accepted Answer

A layer of water builds between the tyres and road surface, causing the driver to lose steering control, most likely at high speed on a wet road. The correct answer is that a water layer forms between the tyres and the road, causing loss of steering. This happens most at higher speeds and on standing water. If aquaplaning occurs, ease off the accelerator gradually, hold the wheel straight, and do not brake or steer sharply until grip returns. Confirm aquaplaning guidance with the General Department of Traffic (Moroor).

Answer

The vehicle steering locks when crossing a flooded underpass

Answer

The brakes overheat on a wet descent

Answer

Rainwater enters the engine and causes it to stall

Question 30

A driver is caught a second time without a valid driving licence within a short period. How does Saudi law typically treat repeat offenders compared to first-time offenders?

Accepted Answer

Penalties escalate for repeat offences; second and subsequent violations usually attract higher fines and longer vehicle impoundment periods. Saudi traffic law applies escalating penalties for repeat violations. A driver caught without a licence a second time will typically face a heavier fine and a longer impoundment period than on the first occasion. This deterrence approach is designed to prevent repeat offending.

Answer

The fine is the same for each offence regardless of how many times it has been committed

Answer

The second offence is pardoned if the driver obtains a licence within 30 days

Answer

Repeat offences are treated more leniently because the driver has already been punished once
