32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Right-hand rule
- At an uncontrolled intersection, the driver must yield to any vehicle approaching from the right. This rule applies unless signs or signals indicate otherwise.
- Two-second rule
- Maintain a minimum two-second time gap behind the vehicle ahead in good conditions. In rain or poor visibility, increase the gap to at least four seconds.
- Stopping distance formula
- Total stopping distance equals perception distance plus reaction distance plus braking distance. At 50 km/h on dry asphalt, it is about 27 meters.
- BAC limit
- The legal blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 0.03% (0.3 g/kg). For professional drivers, the limit is 0.00%.
- Winter tire requirement
- Winter tires are mandatory from November 15 to March 15 when winter conditions (snow, ice, or slush) exist. Minimum tread depth for winter tires is 4 mm.
- Recovery position
- An unconscious but breathing casualty should be placed on their side with the airway open. This position helps prevent the tongue from blocking the airway and allows fluids to drain.
- CPR ratio
- For adult CPR, give 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. Compress at a rate of 100–120 per minute, pushing at least 5 cm deep.
- Emergency numbers
- In Bosnia and Herzegovina, dial 112 for general emergencies, 122 for police, 123 for fire, and 124 for ambulance.
- Tire tread depth
- Minimum legal tread depth for passenger car tires is 1.6 mm. Winter tires require at least 4 mm. Worn tires increase stopping distance and risk of aquaplaning.
- Eco-driving benefits
- Eco-driving techniques such as smooth acceleration, steady speed, and proper tire inflation can reduce fuel consumption by 10–20% and lower CO2 emissions.
- Solid white line
- A solid white line along the road edge marks the edge of the carriageway. A solid line in the center means no crossing or overtaking.
- Flashing yellow light
- A flashing yellow traffic light means proceed with caution. Yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection, and be prepared to stop if necessary.
- Green arrow signal
- A green arrow permits movement only in the direction indicated, provided the way is clear. Other traffic may still have a red light, so check before proceeding.
- Pedestrian right-of-way
- Drivers must yield to pedestrians on a marked crosswalk. Approaching vehicles must stop to allow pedestrians to cross safely.
- Seat belt law
- Seat belts are mandatory for all occupants. Children under 12 years or shorter than 150 cm must use an appropriate child restraint system.
- Mobile phone use
- Using a hand-held mobile phone while driving is prohibited. Hands-free devices are allowed only if they do not distract the driver.
- Warning triangle placement
- In a breakdown outside built-up areas, place a warning triangle at least 50 meters behind the vehicle and switch on hazard lights.
- Speed limits in BiH
- General speed limits: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h outside built-up areas, 100 km/h on expressways, and 130 km/h on motorways.
- STOP sign
- An octagonal red sign requires a complete stop at the stop line or before the intersection. Proceed only when the way is clear and after yielding to cross traffic.
- Yield sign
- An inverted triangle sign means give way to traffic on the intersecting road. Stop if necessary, but a full stop is not always required.
- Left-turn right-of-way
- When turning left at an intersection, yield to oncoming vehicles going straight or turning right. Only proceed when there is a safe gap.
- Skid recovery
- In a skid, ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go. Avoid sudden braking or sharp steering.
- Blind spot check
- Before changing lanes, check mirrors, signal, and turn your head to check the blind spot. Do not rely solely on mirrors.
- Fog driving
- Use low beams in fog, rain, or snow. High beams reflect off precipitation and reduce visibility. Reduce speed and increase following distance.
- Brake fluid replacement
- Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and should be replaced every 2 years or as specified by the manufacturer to maintain braking performance.
- Dashboard warning lights
- Red warning lights indicate a serious fault requiring immediate stop. Yellow lights indicate a fault that should be checked soon.
- Bleeding control
- Apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or sterile dressing. Elevate the limb if possible. Do not remove embedded objects.
- Burn treatment
- Cool burns with running water for at least 10 minutes. Do not apply ice, butter, or ointments. Cover with a sterile, non-stick dressing.
- Required documents
- Drivers must carry a valid driving license, vehicle registration certificate, and proof of insurance. Failure to produce them can result in fines.
- Accident reporting
- Any accident involving injury or significant property damage must be reported to the police immediately. Provide assistance and exchange information.
- Penalty points
- Traffic violations carry penalty points. Accumulating a specified number of points can lead to license suspension and mandatory retraining.
- Fuel-efficient driving
- Smooth acceleration, steady speed, early gear shifting, and proper tire inflation reduce fuel consumption by 10–20% and lower emissions.
