Greece Driving Licence Practice Tests, Traffic Signs
& Ministry of Transport Guidance

Types of Driving Licence in Greece

Greece follows EU-style licence categories. Common examples include:

• AM: mopeds and light quadricycles
• A1 / A2 / A: motorcycles (by engine/power limits)
• B: passenger cars and light vehicles

Minimum ages depend on the category (for example, car licence category B is typically 18, while AM may start earlier). Always match your practice and study plan to the category you’re applying for.

Minimum Age and Eligibility

Eligibility depends on the category you want. In general, you’ll need to:

• Meet the minimum age for your licence category
• Complete required training hours through an approved driving school
• Meet any medical/fitness requirements that apply
• Provide identity details and supporting documents as required by the official process

Because requirements can change and may have case-specific details, treat this section as general guidance and verify the latest official requirements before you submit.

Documents Commonly Required for a First-Time Licence

Exact document lists can vary by case, but applicants commonly prepare:

• Proof of identity
• Residency/address details (as required)
• Tax/registration identifiers where applicable for Greek services
• Passport-style photo (or digital photo captured during the process)
• Medical certificates if required for your category
• Any forms or authorisations needed for your driving school to submit steps on your behalf

Tip: Keep digital copies ready, because parts of the flow may be handled online and/or through your driving school.

Typical Application Steps

A typical first-time flow in Greece often looks like this:

1. Register with a driving school and start required theory training
2. Complete the minimum required training hours (theory + practical, depending on category)
3. Take the theory exam (rules + road signs)
4. Take the practical driving test after you pass theory
5. Receive your driving licence after successful completion

This website supports the study part of that journey by helping you practice questions and learn signs before the theory test.

Greece Theory Test Format

The theory exam usually checks:

• Road sign recognition (warning, regulatory/mandatory, informatory)
• Rules of the road (right of way, lane discipline, safe speed, overtaking)
• Safety rules (seat belts, helmets, distraction rules, safe distance)

Exam structure can vary by category and updates, so Practice regularly and focus on understanding the explanations, not memorising answers. (That’s what helps when questions are reworded.)

Key Driving Rules to Study

If you want to cover the topics that most often appear in Greece driving theory test questions, prioritise:

• Speed limits and safe speed choices (urban vs rural vs motorway)
• Priority rules at junctions and roundabouts
• Overtaking rules and safe following distance
• Seat belts / child safety rules
• Mobile phone and distraction safety
• Signs + road markings (especially regulatory signs)

For quick reference, general speed limits are often listed as around 50 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, 110 km/h on expressways, and 130 km/h on motorways, unless signs show otherwise.

How to Prepare Effectively

If you’re starting from scratch, a simple plan works well:

• Day 1–2: Learn Greek road signs by category
• Day 3–4: Review key rules (priority, speed behaviour, markings, safe overtakes)
• Day 5–7: Practice Greece driving licence questions and review explanations for mistakes

Avoid memorising answers. Focus on why an option is correct, and you’ll handle new question variations much better.
