The Driving Test:

The revamped rules segment the driving test into various components, each carrying specific point values. Points are deducted for errors, with some mistakes being more critical than others. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the tests for both two-wheelers (motorbikes and scooters) and four-wheelers (cars):

Two-Wheeler (Motorbike/Scooter) Test:

1. Figure 8 (20 points): Maneuver through a closed loop. Grazing the edge once incurs a 5-point deduction, but multiple edge contacts result in a fail.
2. Narrow Plank (10 points): Traverse a narrow raised platform without touching down or veering off.
3. U-Turn (10 points): Signal appropriately before executing a U-turn to avoid point deduction.
4. Traffic Lights (15 points): Adhere to traffic signals as per road norms.
5. Speed Bumps (15 points): Navigate speed bumps cautiously to prevent point deductions.
6. Ramp (20 points): Stop and start smoothly on a ramp without crossing a line or rolling back excessively.
7. Safety Check (10 points): Demonstrate safe driving practices by checking mirrors, tires, brakes, and wearing a helmet correctly.

Four-Wheeler (Car) Test:

Most tests mirror those for two-wheelers, with minor variations:

1. Figure 8 (20 points): Two edge contacts are permissible, beyond which points are deducted.
2. Speed Bumps (10 points): A single stall is allowed; multiple stalls lead to test failure.
3. U-Turn (10 points): Signal properly before executing a U-turn.
4. Traffic Lights (15 points): Adhere to traffic signals as instructed.
5. Parking (20 points): New for cars, reverse park accurately without touching lines or moving forward more than once.
6. Ramp (15 points): Stop and start on the ramp without crossing the line or rolling back excessively.
7. Safety Check (10 points): Conduct pre-driving checks diligently, including mirrors, tires, brakes, and seatbelt usage.

Key Reminders:

• These guidelines are general; always verify with the Department of Transport Management for the latest updates.
• Practice driving in a safe environment before attempting the test.

Good luck on your journey to becoming a licensed driver in Nepal by passing the drivers license test!
