The LTV HTV PSV test is the compulsory theory step to getting a commercial driving license in Pakistan. On this page you can take the LTV HTV PSV signs test online for free, practice real road signs and traffic signal MCQs, and get instant results so you pass on your first attempt. Whether you are applying for a Light Transport Vehicle, Heavy Transport Vehicle or Public Service Vehicle licence, the road signs you must know are the same — and practising them here is the smartest way to prepare.

What is the LTV HTV PSV signs test?

The LTV HTV PSV test — also called the commercial E-Sign test, signal test or road sign test — is a computerised exam taken on a touchscreen at the licensing centre. You are shown pictures of road signs such as no entry, stop, give way, slippery road and no overtaking, and you choose the correct meaning from a few options. In most centres the theory test has around 25 questions and you need roughly 60% or more to pass. This step makes sure every commercial driver fully understands traffic rules before handling larger or passenger vehicles on the road.

The more you practice the LTV HTV PSV test, the faster you recognise each sign, and the calmer you feel on the real test day. Because commercial drivers spend long hours on busy roads and motorways, the licensing authorities take this test seriously — so thorough preparation really matters.

LTV vs HTV vs PSV: which licence do you need?

An LTV (Light Transport Vehicle) licence covers commercial light vehicles up to about 3500kg, such as taxis, pickups and vans, and you can usually apply from age 18 to 21. An HTV (Heavy Transport Vehicle) licence covers trucks, buses and heavy commercial vehicles; it requires a minimum age of 22 and, in most provinces, around three years of prior LTV driving experience. A PSV (Public Service Vehicle) licence is for vehicles that carry passengers for hire, such as buses and vans, and requires a prior LTV or HTV licence. Choose the category that matches the vehicle you intend to drive, and remember you generally have to start with a lighter category and upgrade.

How to prepare and pass on your first try

Passing the LTV HTV PSV test is easy if you prepare for about a week. Spend 30 to 60 minutes a day. Begin by learning the shapes and colours of mandatory and prohibitory signs, then move on to warning and motorway signs, which are especially important for heavy and passenger vehicles. Finish every study session by taking the free LTV HTV PSV signs test above. Because each attempt is free and the questions vary, repeated practice quickly builds the instant recognition you need.

Documents, fee and waiting period

To apply for a commercial licence you generally need your original CNIC, recent passport-size photographs, a medical certificate, and proof of prior experience for HTV and PSV. After obtaining your learner permit there is a 90-day waiting period for commercial categories before you can sit the permanent test. Once you pass both the LTV HTV PSV signs test and the practical road test for your category, your commercial driving licence is issued. The licence fee is approximately Rs. 9,880 for five years, and a commercial driving licence is recognised across all of Pakistan.
