12 answers the official books get wrong or disagree on
We compared all 1,000 answers in the Nepali and English books one by one. 989 match. In the rest, one book ticks a different answer, or both tick one that is doubtful. On these questions the mock test gives the mark for either answer, and practice shows why.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 9 — When is the use of headlights mandatory?
Both official books mark C, "only on empty roads". The safe rule is B: headlights at night and whenever visibility is low. Either answer scores here.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 178 — From whom must approval be taken to change basic vehicle parts?
The English book marks D, "None of the above"; the Nepali book marks A, the head of the Transport Management Office. Changing a vehicle's parts is approved by the transport office, so A is the safer answer. Either answer scores here.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 215 — According to the Driving License Examination Operating Guidelines, 2077 B.S., how many marks must be obtained to pass the written exam for motorcycles and scooters?
The Nepali book marks 70 marks here, but its own instructions to offices, and this English book, say 60 marks passes. 60 is right.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 237 — What is the typical voltage of a motorcycle battery?
The Nepali book marks "All of the above"; the English book marks 12 volts, which is the usual motorcycle battery.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 249 — What is the clutch used for?
Both books mark C, "to stop the vehicle". The clutch is pulled when stopping, but its main use is B, changing gear. Either answer scores here.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 286 — What is the main work of a motor controller (Controller)?
The English book marks B, "to charge the battery"; the Nepali book marks C, controlling the motor's speed and torque, which is what a motor controller does. Either answer scores here.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 310 — What is the function of a fuse (Fuse)?
The English book marks A, "to increase speed"; the Nepali book marks B, protection from excess current, which is what a fuse does. Either answer scores here.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 346 — Road designated for the operation of public vehicles:
Both books mark A, "Service Track". A road set aside for public vehicles is usually called a bus lane (C). Either answer scores here.
- Bike / scooter (A, K) · Question 415 — What color are the boards placed to indicate direction?
The English book marks D, black; the Nepali book marks A, green. Highway direction boards are green. Either answer scores here.
- Car / jeep / van (B) · Question 106 — What are unsafe places to overtake?
Both books mark C, where there is a No Overtaking sign. A long solid line and a narrow road are unsafe too, so D, "All of the above", is the fuller answer. Either answer scores here.
- Car / jeep / van (B) · Question 151 — Whose approval is required to change a vehicle's color, seating capacity, engine, or chassis?
The Nepali book marks D, local government; the English book marks C, the authorised officer. Changes to a vehicle's colour, seats, engine or chassis are approved by the transport authority, so C is the safer answer.
- Car / jeep / van (B) · Question 347 — Which device is used by police to detect the speed of moving vehicles?
The Nepali book marks C, both; the English book marks A, the radar gun. ANPR reads number plates; the radar gun measures speed.

- 1Choose your licence above: bike and scooter, or car. The two collections are different.
- 2Practise one subject at a time. Every answer is shown straight away, and anything you get wrong goes into My mistakes.
- 3Do the traffic signs on their own. They are six questions, nearly a quarter of the marks.
- 4Take mock tests until you pass comfortably. The real paper is the same length, the same time and drawn the same way.
