Looking to Buy Mauritius Driving License? Heres Your Guide

Hey there, everyone! So, you wanna get yourself a Mauritius driving license, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t like pickin’ apples neither. Gotta do things the right way, ya know? So, listen up, and I’ll tell ya what I know.

First things first, you gotta figure out if you’re startin’ from scratch or if you already got a license from somewhere else. If you’re brand new to this drivin’ thing, you gotta get yourself a learner’s permit. That’s like a practice license, you see? You can’t just go zoomin’ around on your own yet. And how you get that learner’s permit? Well, you can go down to the police station, or these days, they got this fancy thing called the internet. You go online, to that government website, I think it’s called “govmu” or somethin’ like that. Fill out the papers, and they’ll give you a date to come in. It might take a month or two, so don’t be in a hurry.

• Learner’s Permit: Gotta get this first, like I said. Think of it as your “training wheels” for drivin’.
• Practice: Don’t be a fool and think you can just hop in a car and drive. Find someone who knows how to drive and practice, practice, practice!
• Driving Test: This is the big one. You gotta show them you know how to handle a car without killin’ yourself or someone else.

Now, if you already got a license from another country, things are a bit different. If you’re just visitin’ Mauritius for a little while, you can use your own license for a few weeks, maybe four weeks or somethin’ like that. But if your license ain’t in that alphabet they use, you know, the one with A, B, C, you gotta get it translated. Can’t be havin’ the police scratchin’ their heads tryin’ to figure out what your license says.

But if you’re plannin’ on stayin’ in Mauritius for good, you gotta switch your license over to a Mauritian one. Now, that can be a bit tricky, especially if your license is about to expire. They need some kinda letter sayin’ your license is good, and gettin’ that letter can be a pain in the neck. You have to go to the ‘police force website’ they have, that’s what my neighbor said when his son tried to get his license. So better listen to me.

Okay, so let’s say you got your learner’s permit, or you’re switchin’ over your license. You gotta take a test. And this ain’t no easy-peasy test, mind you. They got this talkin’ test, an “oral test” they call it. I don’t know what they ask ya, maybe about road signs or somethin’. And then you gotta do the drivin’ test. Don’t go speedin’ like a maniac, ya hear? Keep it slow, like 40 kilometers per hour, that’s what they say. And don’t be shiftin’ gears all crazy like. Smooth and steady, that’s the way to do it. The examiner, he’s watchin’ ya, seein’ if you know what you’re doin’. Don’t go too far in the first gear and try not to go into fourth gear at all, that’s what my boy told me after his test.

And remember, they drive on the left side of the road in Mauritius. So, if you’re used to drivin’ on the other side, you gotta be extra careful. The roads are pretty good, but some places get real busy, so watch out! If they told you to do a U turn, don’t start arguing with them and saying it’s illegal, because that’s what they test, so just listen to them. Don’t give them attitude.

So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on gettin’ a Mauritius driving license, as far as I know. It might seem like a lot, but just take it one step at a time. And don’t forget, safety first! You ain’t just drivin’ for yourself, you’re drivin’ for everyone else on the road too. Now, go on and get that license, and be safe out there!

One last thing! If you hear someone talkin’ about buyin’ a license without takin’ the test, don’t listen to ’em. That’s just askin’ for trouble. Do things the right way, and you’ll be cruisin’ around Mauritius in no time.
