Azerbaijan DYP Driving Theory Test cheat sheet

Warning signs are triangular with a red border and white field; they announce hazards 50-100 m ahead in built-up areas and 150-300 m outside them.

Prohibition signs are circular with a red border; priority signs (give way, priority road) are the only triangular signs that are not warning signs.

Information and mandatory signs are square or rectangular; mandatory signs are circular with a blue field and white symbol.

In the absence of signs or markings at an equal-priority intersection, the driver must give way to traffic approaching from the right (interference from the right).

A roundabout marked with a give-way sign requires entering traffic to yield; if instead a priority-road sign stands at the entry, entering traffic has priority.

Overtaking is prohibited at pedestrian crossings, on bridges, in tunnels, at level crossings and on sections with restricted visibility (less than 100 m in at least one direction).

The general speed limit in built-up areas is 60 km/h; outside built-up areas 90 km/h; on motorways 110 km/h, unless signs state otherwise.

Stopping and parking are prohibited within 5 m of a pedestrian crossing, at intersections and within 5 m of them, and where the vehicle would obstruct visibility of signs or signals.

A yellow or orange flashing signal permits movement but requires the driver to be sure the path is clear and to give way where priority rules demand it.

A solid white line cannot be crossed; a broken white line may be crossed if it is safe; a double line (solid plus broken) may be crossed only from the side of the broken line.

Yellow zig-zag or yellow solid lines along the kerb mark stopping and parking restrictions; a yellow broken line marks a place where stopping is prohibited but parking is allowed only briefly.

A red traffic light, including a flashing red, requires a complete stop before the stop line; proceeding is allowed only when the green signal appears.

A yellow signal is a prohibition to enter the intersection unless stopping would be unsafe; drivers already inside must clear it.

A green arrow in an additional section permits movement only in the direction shown, regardless of the main signal, provided the path is clear.

A traffic controller's signals override traffic lights and markings; a raised arm or a whistle means all traffic must stop.

Arrows painted on the carriageway indicate permitted directions from that lane; a lane marked with a straight-ahead arrow may not be used to turn.

A pedestrian crossing is marked by broad white stripes (zebra); a diagonal yellow grid (box junction) may not be entered unless the exit is clear.

A flashing yellow signal at a level crossing or intersection means proceed with caution, observing the priority rules of the location.

Category B covers passenger cars up to 3500 kg maximum permissible mass with no more than 8 seats in addition to the driver's seat.

Category C covers goods vehicles over 3500 kg; category D covers buses with more than 8 passenger seats; BE, CE and DE are trailer combinations.

Category A covers motorcycles; subcategories A1 (up to 125 cc, 11 kW) and A2 (up to 35 kW) apply with age and experience thresholds.

Category AM covers mopeds and light quadricycles; category T covers tractors and self-propelled agricultural machines.

The minimum age for category B is 18 years; for A1 it is 16; for A2 it is 18; for A it is 20 (or 24 without prior A2 experience).

A learner driver must hold a valid learner's permit, be accompanied by an instructor or a qualified driver, and display learner identification.

The driving licence is issued for a defined validity period and must be renewed; driving with an expired licence is an administrative offence.

A driver must carry the licence and vehicle registration documents while driving and produce them on the demand of a police officer.

Driving a vehicle of a category not covered by the licence held is treated as driving without a licence and carries administrative liability.

Safe following distance is commonly estimated with the two-second rule: pick a fixed point, and the vehicle ahead must pass it at least two seconds before you do.

Stopping distance equals reaction distance plus braking distance; reaction distance grows linearly with speed, braking distance grows with the square of speed.

In rain, snow or on wet asphalt, braking distance increases substantially; the following distance must be at least doubled.

The blind spot must be checked by turning the head before lane changes; mirrors alone do not cover the area beside and behind the vehicle.

When approaching a pedestrian crossing, the driver must be prepared to stop and must yield to pedestrians already on the crossing.

At night, use dipped headlights when meeting oncoming traffic and when following; main beam is permitted only where it does not dazzle other road users.

In fog, use low beam and fog lights; high beam reflects off the fog and reduces visibility.

Hazard perception requires scanning far ahead, checking mirrors every 5-8 seconds, and anticipating the behaviour of pedestrians, cyclists and parked vehicles.

On a slippery surface, avoid sudden braking and steering; engine braking and gentle, progressive inputs preserve grip.

Tyre tread depth must be at least 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tread; worn tyres increase braking distance and aquaplaning risk.

Tyre pressure is checked when the tyres are cold; incorrect pressure causes uneven wear, higher fuel consumption and reduced stability.

The braking system must be free of leaks and the pedal must not feel soft or sink; a low brake fluid level signals wear or a leak.

The minimum legal lighting requirement includes functioning headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators and registration-plate illumination.

Engine oil level is checked with the dipstick on a level surface with the engine off; the level must lie between the minimum and maximum marks.

Coolant is checked only when the engine is cold; opening the radiator cap on a hot engine risks serious burns.

The battery terminals must be clean and tight; a loose or corroded terminal prevents starting and can damage the charging system.

The windscreen, wipers and washer must provide a clear field of view; a cracked windscreen within the driver's field of vision is a defect.

A vehicle may not be operated if it has defects that affect steering, braking, lighting or tyres; such defects are grounds for prohibition from use.

The first step at an accident scene is to secure the area: switch off engines, place a warning triangle, and call emergency services (112).

Check responsiveness and breathing; if the victim is not breathing normally, begin chest compressions at 100-120 per minute, 5-6 cm deep, in the centre of the chest.

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR is 30:2; for untrained rescuers, continuous chest compressions alone are acceptable.

Severe external bleeding is controlled by direct pressure on the wound, with the limb elevated if no fracture is suspected; a tourniquet is a last resort.

A casualty who is unconscious but breathing should be placed in the recovery position to keep the airway open and prevent aspiration.

A suspected spinal injury requires the victim to be kept still with the head and neck supported; movement is avoided unless there is immediate danger.

Do not remove a motorcycle helmet unless it is necessary to open the airway; doing so can worsen a cervical spine injury.

Burns are cooled with clean, cool running water for at least 10-20 minutes; do not apply oils, ointments or ice, and do not burst blisters.

In suspected shock, keep the victim warm, lay them flat with legs slightly raised if no injury prevents it, and monitor breathing until help arrives.

Driving while intoxicated carries administrative penalties and may lead to criminal liability where harm is caused; the driver is also deprived of the licence for a defined period.

Refusing a medical examination for intoxication is treated as equivalent to driving while intoxicated.

Leaving the scene of an accident in which the driver was involved is an administrative offence and may become a criminal matter if a victim is left in danger.

Driving without a licence, without registration documents, or without compulsory insurance is an administrative offence with fines and possible vehicle detention.

Exceeding the speed limit, running a red light and driving into oncoming traffic are administrative offences recorded by cameras and by officers.

The driver is liable for damage caused by the vehicle; civil liability is covered by compulsory third-party motor insurance.

An administrative penalty may be appealed within the period set by law; paying the fine does not remove the right to contest the decision.

Repeated commission of the same administrative offence within the statutory period is an aggravating circumstance and increases the penalty.

The owner of the vehicle may be held liable for offences recorded by automatic cameras unless they prove another person was driving.

Reaction time for an alert driver is about 0.8-1.0 s; fatigue, alcohol and distraction lengthen it and thus the stopping distance.

Fatigue impairs attention and judgement; the only effective remedy is stopping and resting, not loud music or fresh air.

Aggressive driving such as tailgating, cutting in and horn abuse escalates conflict and increases crash risk; courteous yielding reduces it.

Alcohol at any level reduces peripheral vision, slows reactions and increases confidence; the legal limit for driving is effectively zero tolerance in many jurisdictions.

Distraction by a mobile phone is comparable to driving while intoxicated; using a handheld phone while driving is prohibited.

At a pedestrian crossing, the driver must show patience and yield; pressing the horn at pedestrians is both unsafe and an ethical failure.

Night driving reduces depth perception; the driver should reduce speed and increase following distance to compensate.

In a conflict situation, the safe response is to slow down and yield rather than to assert a right of way; right of way is given, not taken.

Emotional state affects driving: anger or stress narrows attention and encourages risky overtaking and speeding.

Seat belts must be worn by the driver and all passengers; children under 12 or under the statutory height must use an appropriate child restraint.

A motorcycle rider and passenger must wear a fastened protective helmet; riding without a helmet is prohibited.

The warning triangle must be placed at a distance that ensures visibility: at least 15 m behind the vehicle in built-up areas and 30 m outside them.

A fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit are mandatory items in the vehicle; the extinguisher must be within its service date and the kit complete.

A reflective vest should be worn when leaving the vehicle on the carriageway at night or in poor visibility; it must be kept within reach.

Dipped headlights must be switched on when driving at night, in tunnels, and in conditions of insufficient visibility.

The horn may be used only to warn of danger; using it in built-up areas except to prevent an accident is prohibited.

Passengers may not be carried in a number exceeding the seats provided; carrying unrestrained passengers in the cargo area is prohibited.

The vehicle must be loaded so that the load does not obstruct the driver's view, obscure lights or plates, or create a hazard; projecting loads must be marked.
