What is worth knowing here
- Hill gradients and blind bends dominate; horn-on-bend and narrow-road signs are everyday signs here.
- Long stretches without street lighting put the night-driving chapter to work.
The theory test
Most states run a short multiple-choice paper on a computer terminal — commonly 10 questions with 6 correct needed to pass, in about 10 minutes. Some states set a longer paper, and several now allow the test to be taken from home after an Aadhaar-based identity check.
