The Finland motorcycle test exam at a glance

The Finnish motorcycle theory test (teoriakoe) for categories A1, A2 and A is taken on a tablet at an Ajovarma service point, run for Traficom by A-Katsastus. It has three parts in 30 minutes: 20 multiple choice questions, 50 picture questions about traffic situations and 5 risk recognition questions, and you must reach the minimum in each part (14, 43 and 4). The test is offered in Finnish, Swedish and English, with an oral test of 60 minutes in some cases. A passed theory test is valid for one year; a handling test and a driving test follow. A1 is open from 16, A2 from 18 and A from 24, or 20 after two years on A2.

Updated November 2026 by the Tigertest team. Practice questions follow Traficom regulation on the driving theory test (TRAFICOM/523973/03.04.03.00/2019), Traficom's driving examination, motorcycle licence and upgrade pages, and the Road Traffic Act 729/2018 as consolidated to April 2026, checked November 2026. Exam rules change, so confirm current details with Traficom: Driving examination.

How It Works

Train by Topic

Five training sets cover your gear and your motorcycle, control, surfaces and winter, junctions and overtaking, road position, passengers and loads, and the rider and the licence categories. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them.

Full Mock Tests

Four 50-question tests that together cover all 200 questions, with an 86% target, the share the real test asks on its picture part. No question repeats across tests, and every answer explains the rule and the common wrong pick.

Built on Finnish Law and Traficom's Topics

Traficom's rules for the theory test add four topics for categories A1, A2 and A to the general traffic rules: protective gear, how visible riders are to others, hazards from road conditions and the mechanics of the motorcycle. Tigertest follows those areas with the rules of the current Road Traffic Act: helmets for rider and passenger, 1.0 mm tyre tread, one passenger with a proper seat and footrests, no parking on the pavement, winter tyres and studs from November to March, and the A1, A2 and A power limits. The real test's photos and risk recognition videos are not modelled; situations are described in words.

How to Pass the Finnish Motorcycle Theory Test

1. Master the right-hand rule from the saddle

Many picture questions are about who goes first. At an unsigned junction, a T-junction included, you give way to traffic from the right, but you always give way when you come from a car park, a yard, a fuel station or a pihakatu, and when you turn across people crossing. Then add the rider's view: a driver who must give way to you may still not see you.

2. Learn the rules that differ for motorcycles

Motorcycle tyres need only 1.0 mm of tread, a solo motorcycle carries one passenger with a proper seat and footrests, a trailer may weigh at most half the bike's unladen mass, and unlike bicycles and mopeds a motorcycle may not be parked on the pavement or beside a parked car. Only cyclists may pass a queue on its right.

3. Know the licence limits

A1 is 125 cm³, 11 kW and 0.1 kW/kg from 16. A2 is 35 kW and 0.2 kW/kg from 18, never cut down from over 70 kW. Category A comes at 24, or at 20 after two years on A2. These figures come up again and again.

4. Aim well above the pass mark

The real test fails you if any one part is below its minimum, so there is little room for error. Aim for 45 or more in every mock test, drill the questions you missed, then take all four tests back to back before you book at Ajovarma.

Finland Motorcycle Theory Test Frequently Asked Questions

What is on the Finnish motorcycle theory test?

The theory test (teoriakoe) for categories A1, A2 and A is taken on a tablet at an Ajovarma service point and has three parts: 20 multiple choice questions, 50 picture questions about traffic situations and 5 risk recognition questions. You have 30 minutes. Each part has its own pass mark set by Traficom: at least 14 of 20, 43 of 50 and 4 of 5. Failing any one part fails the test. After it come a handling test and a driving test.

Can I take the Finnish motorcycle theory test in English?

Yes. Traficom gives Finnish, Swedish and English as the languages of the test. If your mother tongue is none of these and you do not know any of them well, you may be allowed an oral test with 60 minutes, and in some cases an interpreter. Tigertest's practice is in English and uses the Finnish terms you will meet on signs and in the rules, such as taajama and pihakatu.

How does Tigertest's practice compare with the real test?

Tigertest's four mock tests have 50 multiple choice questions each, and the 86% target (43 of 50) matches the share needed on the real picture part. The picture and risk recognition questions on the real test show photos and video clips; Tigertest describes the same traffic situations in words, so it trains the rules and riding judgement behind them but not reading the pictures. Pass all four mock tests comfortably before you book.

Which motorcycle can I ride on an A1, A2 or A licence?

A1, from age 16, covers motorcycles up to 125 cm³ and 11 kW with at most 0.1 kW/kg. A2, from age 18, covers up to 35 kW and 0.2 kW/kg, and the bike must not be restricted from more than 70 kW. Category A, with no power limit, is open at 24, or at 20 after two years on A2. Traficom lists the upgrade routes, by driving instruction or by a handling and driving test, on its website.

Are these the real test questions?

No. Every question is original, written by Tigertest from the Finnish Road Traffic Act (Tieliikennelaki), Traficom's rules for the theory test and its licence pages, so it tests the same knowledge without copying any official question. Signs and traffic situations are described in words. It is free practice, not affiliated with Traficom, Ajovarma or A-Katsastus, and it does not book or replace your test.

Finland motorcycle test sample questions and answers

6 of the 200 practice questions, one from each topic, with the answer explained.

1. Which motorcycle part is most likely to cause a fall when badly worn?
- A.The horn button
- B.The tyres
- C.The seat cover
- D.The number plate holder
Answer: B. Tyres are the only contact with the road. Worn, damaged or wrongly inflated tyres reduce grip in braking and bends, so check them before every ride.
2. A strong gust of side wind hits you as you pass a gap in the trees. What should you do?
- A.Brake hard at once
- B.Grip the bars tightly
- C.Shut the throttle fully
- D.Stay relaxed, steer gently
Answer: D. Expect gusts at gaps, bridges and when passing large vehicles. Loose arms and small steering inputs let the bike move a little and recover.
3. You approach a junction with the low autumn sun right behind you. What should you remember?
- A.Drivers ahead may be dazzled
- B.You are easier to see
- C.Use full beam to help them
- D.Only you will be dazzled
Answer: A. Drivers facing the low sun may not see you at all. Slow down, keep a clear position and be ready to stop if someone pulls out.
4. A large lorry overtakes you on a main road. What may you feel as it passes?
- A.More engine power
- B.A stronger front brake
- C.A push or pull of air
- D.Nothing at all
Answer: C. The air moved by a large vehicle can push you sideways and then draw you in. Keep a firm line and a relaxed grip.
5. You pull a loaded trailer with your motorcycle. How does braking change?
- A.Nothing changes
- B.Only the front brake works
- C.You need more room to stop
- D.You stop sooner
Answer: C. A trailer adds mass and pushes the bike when you brake. Leave longer gaps, brake earlier and take bends more slowly.
6. When must you signal before moving sideways on the road?
- A.In good time, for the whole move
- B.Only when other cars are near
- C.Only after you start to move
- D.Only on motorways
Answer: A. Direction signals must be given in good time before moving off, turning, changing lane or moving sideways, and kept on until the move is done.
