The Department of Transport and Management has introduced new driving license exam rules or trails for cars and bikes in Nepal.

Previously there was no room for mistakes. When I took my trial exams, most people were disqualified for touching the lines, forgetting to turn indicators on, and more.

But now you have a better chance to pass your driving exam, as DOTM has introduced the 70 points rule to make it a little easier.

1. Eight Shape

This is the first stage of the driving trail in Nepal, and here you get 20 points for completing it successfully if no mistakes are made.

Negative Points: You will lose 5 points if you step while making eight shapes and if you touch the yellow line.

Disqualify: You will be disqualified if you touch the yellow line or step inside eight more than once. Additionally, touching a cone or driving out of boundaries is disqualifying.

2. Narrow Plank – Straight Line

This is one of the most straightforward tasks. Here, you need to drive in a straight narrow line; don’t go out of the line.

Completing this will give you 10 points, but you get disqualified if you make one mistake. Do not step on the ground or move out of the plank.

3. Traffic Light

You can earn 15 points if you complete this step and lose if you fail to follow the simple rule.

  • Yellow Light: Move Slow (Red light within 5-6 sec)
  • Red Light: Complete Stop

4. U-Turn

You get 10 points for successful completion and are penalized 10 points for the mistake.

In this step, you must turn your indicator on (Side Light) a few seconds before turning. And if you fail or forget to do it, you will lose 10 points.

You will get disqualified if your Bike/Scooter touches the boundary.

5. Speedbreaker (Bumps)

Completing this will get you 15 points, and you will lose 5 points each for stepping on the ground and turning the engine off.

You will be disqualified if you repeatedly step on the ground and stop the engine more than once.

This is where most people fail the bike driving exam in Nepal. First, you must take the motorcycle upward and stop between two yellow lines. Then, wait for the signal to move forward and repeat the same on a downward slope.
