About the NTSA Driving Test (Kenya)
The NTSA driving test is the assessment every learner in Kenya must pass to get a driving licence. It is administered by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) at approved test centres, usually through your registered driving school, and is taken after a Provisional Driving Licence and your driving-school training.
The theory stage is an oral test built around three things: stating the rules and features of the Model Town Board, identifying road signs the examiner shows you, and completing tasks on the Model Town Board. This reviewer turns that syllabus into multiple-choice practice covering Kenyan road signs, road markings, the Highway Code, safe driving, and licensing rules so you walk in confident.
What this practice test covers
- Kenyan road signs: yellow warning triangles, regulatory, and mandatory signs
- Road markings: yellow centre lines and white lane lines, solid versus broken
- Rules of the road: keep left, speed limits, roundabouts, and overtaking
- Safe driving: drink-driving limits, seatbelts, helmets, and first aid
- NTSA licence classes, the Provisional Driving Licence, and required documents
- The Model Town Board: features, rules, and the common roundabout mistakes
Frequently asked
What is the pass mark for the NTSA driving test?
The NTSA theory test is an oral exam, not a fixed multiple-choice paper, so there is no official numeric pass mark. The examiner judges whether you can state the Model Town Board rules, identify the road signs you are shown, and complete the board tasks correctly, then you sit a practical road test. This reviewer builds the underlying Highway Code knowledge so you can answer confidently.
What is the Model Town Board?
It is a tabletop scale model of a town, about 4 ft by 3 ft, with major and minor roads, a roundabout, angle and flush parking, zebra crossings, and STOP and Give Way signs. In the oral test you move a toy car around it while explaining each action, following the rules of the road.
How long is a Provisional Driving Licence valid in Kenya?
A Provisional Driving Licence (PDL) is valid for 3 months and can be renewed for further 3-month periods. You apply through the NTSA TIMS or eCitizen portal, must be enrolled in a registered driving school, and may drive only when accompanied by a qualified licensed driver.
Which documents must I have to drive in Kenya?
A valid driving licence for your vehicle class, a valid motor-vehicle insurance certificate with the windscreen sticker, and a valid inspection or roadworthiness certificate where required.
