Learner’s Licence Test — Common Questions
What topics does the learner’s licence test cover?
Three areas. Road signs — mandatory signs on a red border with white background, cautionary signs on a yellow diamond or triangle, and informatory signs on a blue background. Traffic rules — right of way, lane discipline, signals and speed limits. And general driving knowledge, covering documents you must carry and basic vehicle awareness. Most people who fail do so on sign recognition rather than the rules.
How long after the learner’s licence can I take the driving test?
There is a mandatory 30-day practice period between receiving your learner’s licence and applying for the permanent driving licence. In practice the full journey from LL application to licence in hand runs about 45 to 60 days. Use the 30 days for actual driving rather than waiting — candidates who arrive at the test with only a few hours behind the wheel are the ones who have to repeat it.
Where do I go for the driving test after the learner’s licence?
RTO Bhubaneswar-I (OD-02) conducts its driving test at the track at Plot No. 2288, Sundarpur, Chandaka — not at the Acharya Vihar office. RTO Bhubaneswar-II (OD-33) operates from Sikharchandi Road, Patia. Both offices work 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on working days. Golden Hands students are told which office applies to them and are driven to the test.
