    Do you know your city like the back of your hand? You just might be made for taxi driving. Whether you’re in Halifax, Truro, or Bridgewater, there’s a steady demand for commercial drivers with a Class 4 licence. The Registry of Motor Vehicles requires all applicants to go through the licensing process, which involves several steps. You must be 18 or older, possess a valid Class 5 licence for at least one year, pass a vision screening, complete a driver’s medical examination, pass a written knowledge exam, and pass a road test. However, to operate commercial vehicles with a seating capacity of 8 passengers or less (excluding the driver), you may obtain a restricted Class 4 licence without taking the knowledge or road tests. It’s much easier after you use our Nova Scotia Class 4 Licence Practice Tests!

    The official Nova Scotia commercial driver’s handbook describes the various aspects of commercial driving in detail. Please read its contents at least once to learn more about pre-trip inspections, hours of service, and the National Safety Code (NSC). The official written knowledge exam consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, which you must answer before the timer runs out. You need a score of 80% or higher to pass, leaving little room for error. To prepare effectively, you should adopt a systematic approach and use the most efficient tools available.

    Our Nova Scotia Class 4 Licence practice test can significantly boost your learning potential, helping you master commercial driving theory through repetition. All 50 questions are based on the official commercial driver’s handbook, which you can use during your practice sessions. If you encounter a difficult question, you can refer to the manual and find the correct answer yourself. Although this method will not be allowed during the official exam, it is highly effective during your learning phase.

    For your convenience, we have included an automated assistant in this practice test. Initiate a conversation whenever you want personalized help. The most complex aspects of commercial driving theory will be easier to understand with the detailed explanations from the AI coach. They can help you learn from your mistakes and identify areas that need improvement.
