Your First Step to Driving in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

​Obtaining a Saudi Driving License is a significant milestone for residents and citizens alike in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This license is your key to navigating the diverse landscapes, bustling city streets, and expansive highways that make up the country’s road network. Before you can get behind the wheel for the practical road test, however, you must first successfully pass the Dallah Computer Test—a crucial theoretical examination that assesses your knowledge of traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices in the KSA.

​This comprehensive guide, Saudi Driving License - Dallah Computer Test Preparation Part 1, is meticulously structured to help you master the foundational knowledge required for the Dallah test. Part 1 focuses intensely on the most heavily weighted section of the exam: Traffic Rules and Regulations. By the end of this article, you will have a clear understanding of the core legal requirements and essential driving principles needed to confidently face the computer-based test and move one step closer to securing your KSA driving license.

​Understanding the Dallah Computer Test Structure

​The Dallah Computer Test, also often referred to as the Moroor (Traffic Department) theoretical exam, is a mandatory screening step. It is typically a multiple-choice question format, and passing it is non-negotiable for obtaining your license.

• ​Total Questions: While the exact number can vary slightly (often around 30 to 45 questions), you are generally required to answer a majority correctly.
• ​Passing Score: The pass mark is usually set at approximately 70-75% (e.g., around 22-26 correct answers out of 30-35 questions).
• ​Time Limit: You will have a limited time—often 30 to 45 minutes—to complete the test, making efficient recall of information critical.

• ​Key Sections: The questions are broadly divided into two major areas:
  • ​Section 1: Traffic Rules and Regulations (Approximately 60% of the test)
  • ​Section 2: Road Signs, Vehicle Knowledge, and Safe Driving Techniques (Approximately 40% of the test)

  )

  ​Given that Traffic Rules and Regulations form the largest portion of the exam, dedicating thorough study time to this area is essential for guaranteed success.

  ​Chapter 1: The Core of KSA Traffic Law - Licensing, Responsibility, and Legal Foundations (LSI Keywords: KSA traffic laws, driving license requirements, visitor driving rules)

  ​This section covers the fundamental legal framework surrounding driving in Saudi Arabia. These questions often appear early in the exam and are straightforward, provided you have studied them.

  ​1.1. Licensing and Legal Authority

  • ​Q: What is the primary requirement for driving a vehicle on Saudi roads?
    • ​A: Obtaining a valid driving permission or Saudi Driving License. Driving without a license is a serious traffic violation.
  • ​Q: What does obtaining a driving license in the KSA signify?
    • ​A: It signifies the driver's acceptance and commitment to follow all traffic rules and regulations set forth by the General Directorate of Traffic (Moroor).
  • ​Q: To whom are personal (private) driving licenses issued?
    • ​A: They are typically issued to persons whose vehicle weight does not exceed 3.5 tons. Commercial licenses (e.g., heavy vehicles, public transport) have different requirements.
  • ​Q: How are visitors to Saudi Arabia allowed to drive private vehicles?
    • ​A: Visitors may drive using a valid International Driving License (IDL) from their home country for a limited period, which varies but is usually up to one year, or as per the specific visa type.

  ​1.2. Traffic Violations and the Points System

  ​The Moroor enforces traffic laws rigorously, using a Traffic Points System to penalize violations. Understanding this system is crucial for long-term safe driving and for the exam.

  • ​Q: What is the most common cause of traffic-related deaths and serious accidents in Saudi Arabia?
    • ​A: High Speed (Exceeding speed limits) and Running Red Traffic Signals are often cited as the most fatal and common violations.
  • ​Q: What is the consequence of committing a traffic violation?
    • ​A: The consequences involve paying a fine (monetary penalty) and the addition of points (demerits) to your driver's license record. Accumulating too many points can lead to license suspension or revocation.
  • ​Q: What is the penalty for exceeding the speed limit by more than 25 km/h?
    • ​A: This typically results in a high number of demerit points (e.g., 6 points) and a substantial fine (e.g., SR 500 or more, subject to change). Always check the latest official Moroor fine schedule.
  • ​Q: Is having vehicle insurance mandatory for all drivers in the KSA?
    • ​A: Yes, all Saudi drivers and vehicle owners must have at least Third-Party Liability Insurance (TPL) or Comprehensive Insurance.

  ​Chapter 2: Speed Limits and Safe Following Distances (LSI Keywords: maximum speed KSA, urban zone speed, rural zone speed, safe distance)

  ​Speed management is a central topic in the Dallah test and a key element of road safety. Be prepared to recall the specific maximum speeds for different vehicle types and locations.

  ​2.1. Maximum Speed Limits

  ​The maximum speed limits are determined by the location (inside/outside towns) and the type of vehicle.  

• Vehicle Type	Location	Maximum Speed Limit (Approx.)
  Small Vehicles (Cars)	Inside Towns (Urban Zone)	70 km/h or 80 km/h (Check local signage; generally, 70/80 is the typical maximum unless otherwise posted.)
  Small Vehicles (Cars)	Outside Towns (Rural Zone / Highways)	120 km/h (or 140 km/h on specified roads with signage)
  Trucks / Heavy Vehicles	Inside Towns (Urban Zone)	50 km/h
  Trucks / Heavy Vehicles	Outside Towns (Rural Zone / Highways)	80 km/h or 100 km/h (Check local signage)

  • Q: What should a driver do if there is no speed limit sign inside a town?
    • ​A: The driver must not exceed the general maximum speed limit for that vehicle type within the urban zone (e.g., 70-80 km/h for small vehicles).
  • ​Q: Should drivers follow the posted speed limits in all circumstances?
    • ​A: No. While limits should generally be followed, the driver must also consider the road status, weather conditions, and ambient environment. For example, in heavy rain or fog, speed must be reduced below the posted limit for safety.

  ​2.2. Safe Following Distance

  • ​Q: What determines the safe distance that should be maintained between your vehicle and the vehicle in front?
    • ​A: The safe following distance is primarily determined by the speed at which you are driving and the prevailing road and weather conditions.
  • ​Q: What is a general method to estimate a safe following distance?
    • ​A: The "Two-Second Rule" is a common guideline: pick a fixed object (e.g., a tree or signpost); when the vehicle in front passes it, you should not reach the same object for at least two seconds (three or four seconds in poor weather).

  ​Chapter 3: Maneuvering: Overtaking, Lane Usage, and Roundabouts (LSI Keywords: overtaking rules, lane changing, right of way roundabout, blind area)

  ​Correct maneuvering is a key test area, evaluating your practical understanding of interaction with other traffic.

  ​3.1. Lane Changing and Overtaking Rules

  • ​Q: What must a driver do before switching between tracks (lanes)?
    • ​A: The driver must use light signals (indicators) to inform other drivers of their intention and check mirrors and blind spots to ensure the maneuver is safe.
  • ​Q: What is the "blind area" (or blind spot) of a vehicle?
    • ​A: It is the area immediately to the side/rear of the vehicle that cannot be seen using the rear or side-view mirrors without the driver physically turning their head.
  • ​Q: Who has the priority for overtaking?
    • ​A: The driver in the left lane (which is the designated passing lane on multi-lane roads in the KSA, where traffic drives on the right).
  • ​Q: Why is overtaking prohibited on vertical curves (heights) and horizontal bends?
    • ​A: Because the opposite direction of traffic is not visible, making a head-on collision highly likely.
  • ​Q: What does the existence of two solid (continuous) lines in the middle of the road mean?
    • ​A: Overtaking is strictly prohibited for vehicles traveling in both directions.
  • ​Q: What does a solid line on your track and a dashed (broken) line on the opposite track mean?
    • ​A: Overtaking is prohibited for you but is allowed for incoming vehicles traveling in the reverse direction (if safe).

  ​3.2. Roundabouts and Right-of-Way

  • ​Q: In a roundabout, which traffic has priority (right-of-way)?
    • ​A: The traffic that is already inside the roundabout has priority over vehicles waiting to enter, unless otherwise indicated by signs or signals.
  • ​Q: What is a common serious violation related to roundabouts?
    • ​A: Failure to yield the right-of-way to vehicles coming from the left when entering the roundabout (this is a high-point violation).

  ​Chapter 4: General Safety and Driver Behavior (LSI Keywords: defensive driving, seatbelt law KSA, head-on collision prevention, emergency stopping)

  ​A successful driver is a safe driver. This section tests your commitment to proactive and defensive driving.

  • ​Q: What is a key characteristic of a "defensive driver"?
    • ​A: A defensive driver maintains a positive attitude towards driving and constantly scans the environment to anticipate and avoid potential hazards.
  • ​Q: When is it necessary to use the safety belt (seatbelt) in the KSA?
    • ​A: Always, for the driver and all passengers, especially for those in the front seat. Seatbelt use is mandatory.
  • ​Q: When should a driver typically use their vehicle’s low-beam lights at night?
    • ​A: Always in urban areas, when following another vehicle closely, or when approaching an oncoming vehicle to avoid blinding other drivers.
  • ​Q: What should you do half an hour before sunset (twilight hours) or in adverse weather?
    • ​A: The driver must turn on the vehicle's lights (headlights and tail lights) to ensure visibility.
  • ​Q: When is it prohibited to overtake a car approaching a railway crossing?
    • ​A: When the car is within a short distance (e.g., 30 meters) of the intersection, or whenever there is a sign or barrier indicating the crossing.
  • ​Q: What is the recommended action if a driver feels extremely tired while driving on a long journey?
    • ​A: The safest action is to stop the vehicle on the side of the road (in a safe, designated spot) and take a short rest and sleep. Never drive while fatigued.
