Overview
The "code" is the written theory exam for a Tunisian driving licence. It is organised by the Agence Technique des Transports Terrestres (ATTT). The ATTT website could not be read for this page, so everything here comes from one undated guide on a car-market website, Automobile.tn. Treat it as a guide and confirm details with the ATTT. This page is thin for that reason.
