Austria Theory D study plan

Memorize the meaning and priority hierarchy of all Austrian road-sign groups (warning, regulatory, priority, information) and recite them aloud without notes

Classify the four right-of-way situations (right-before-left, priority road, roundabout, turning off a priority road) and state who yields in each

Draw a diagram of a standard four-way junction and mark which vehicle goes first for each of the four right-before-left variants

List at least ten road markings (lane lines, stop lines, hatched areas, bus lanes) and state their binding meaning

Solve 40 written right-of-way scenarios in under 60 seconds each, writing the correct order of vehicles before checking the answer

Explain the rules for entering and exiting roundabouts, including indicator use and lane choice, in your own words

Describe when you must yield to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport, giving one concrete example per case

Identify the three situations where a priority road ends and state the resulting obligation

State the default speed limits for built-up areas, open roads, motorways and specific vehicle classes, and list the exceptions

Compute safe following distance for 30, 50, 80 and 130 km/h using the two-second rule and the half-speedometer rule, showing your working

Explain the factors that lengthen braking distance (wet road, load, downhill, reaction time) and quantify each roughly

Describe correct lane position and steering technique for curves, narrow passages and overtaking

Identify the main components of braking, steering and suspension systems and state one failure symptom for each

Explain the purpose and correct use of ABS, ESP, tyre-pressure monitoring and seat belts, including one limitation of each

Read a tyre sidewall and state load index, speed rating, tread-depth minimum and correct winter-tyre obligation

Describe the checks a driver must perform before a journey (tyres, lights, fluids, load securing) in checklist form

Explain the correct behaviour at the scene of an accident: securing the site, warning other traffic, emergency call content and protecting casualties

Demonstrate the recovery position and describe when it must and must not be used

List the steps of CPR for an adult and state the compression-to-breath ratio and target depth

Describe how alcohol, fatigue, medication and distraction degrade driving ability, with one countermeasure for each

State the legal driving and rest time rules for professional drivers (daily and weekly limits, breaks, weekly rest) and the purpose of the tachograph

Explain behaviour in tunnels, at level crossings, in roadworks and in fog, rain, snow and darkness, giving one rule per situation

Describe winter equipment obligations and when snow chains may and must be used

Recall the main administrative rules: documents to carry, vehicle inspection intervals and the penalty framework for major offences

Complete two full-length mock exams under timed conditions and record the score per domain

Rank your five weakest sub-topics from the mock results and re-study each one for at least 20 minutes

Re-derive every right-of-way and speed-limit rule you got wrong, writing the rule and an example

Rehearse the vehicle-technology and first-aid items you missed until you answer them without hesitation

Take three further timed mock exams and reach a score of at least 90% on each

Review the error log from week 7 and confirm that no previously missed item is still unanswered correctly

Recite the sign cheat sheet and the speed-and-distance card from memory in under 15 minutes combined

Simulate the oral explanation of three random traffic situations in under two minutes each
