33 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

Priority to the right

At an unmarked intersection, the driver must yield to vehicles approaching from the right; signs or traffic lights override this rule where present.

Stop sign obligation

The driver must come to a complete stop at the stop line, yield to all traffic on the priority road, and proceed only when the way is clear.

Solid centre line

A continuous white line that may not be crossed or straddled by any vehicle, because it marks a section where overtaking would be unsafe.

Built-up area speed limit

In built-up areas the general speed limit is 50 km/h unless a sign shows a different value; the limit ends where the built-up area sign ends.

Category B

Entitlement covering motor vehicles with a maximum mass up to 3500 kg and no more than eight passenger seats in addition to the driver.

Category AM

Moped category covering two-wheeled vehicles with an engine up to 50 cm3 and a design speed not exceeding 45 km/h.

Category BE

Entitlement to drive a category B vehicle towing a trailer, granted only to drivers who already hold the category B entitlement.

Category D1

Bus category covering vehicles designed to carry no more than sixteen passengers in addition to the driver, with a maximum length of eight metres.

Maximum vehicle width

The general maximum permitted width for a motor vehicle is 2.55 metres; refrigerated vehicles are allowed 2.60 metres to accommodate insulated bodywork.

Maximum vehicle height

The maximum permitted overall height of a vehicle, including load, is 4.00 metres; exceeding this requires special permission and route approval.

Articulated vehicle length

An articulated combination of tractor unit and semi-trailer may not exceed 16.50 metres in overall length; truck and trailer combinations may reach 18.75 metres.

Rear load marking

Load protruding more than one metre behind the vehicle must be marked with a red flag or board in daylight and a red light at night.

Two-second rule

Maintain at least two seconds of following distance in dry conditions; double it in rain and increase it further on ice or snow.

Stopping distance formula

Total stopping distance equals reaction distance plus braking distance; reaction distance is speed in m/s multiplied by reaction time in seconds.

Braking distance scaling

Braking distance increases with the square of speed, so doubling speed from 50 to 100 km/h quadruples the distance needed to stop.

Skid recovery

Release the brake or accelerator, look and steer where you want the vehicle to go, and avoid abrupt inputs until grip is restored.

Aquaplaning response

When tyres lose contact with the road through standing water, ease off the accelerator, hold the steering steady, and avoid sudden braking.

Warning triangle distance

Place the warning triangle at least 50 metres behind the vehicle on ordinary roads and at least 100 metres on motorways to warn approaching traffic.

Speed and peripheral vision

As speed rises, the driver's useful field of view narrows; peripheral awareness decreases markedly above 70 km/h, raising the risk of missed hazards.

Fatigue countermeasure

Take a break of at least fifteen minutes every two hours of driving; fatigue slows reaction time comparably to low blood alcohol concentration.

Blind spot check

Mirrors do not show the area beside and behind the vehicle; the driver must turn the head to check before changing lane or overtaking.

Emergency number 112

The unified emergency number in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 112; police can be reached on 122, fire on 123, and ambulance on 124.

Checking breathing

After confirming unresponsiveness, check for normal breathing for no more than ten seconds by looking, listening, and feeling before starting CPR.

CPR compression ratio

Adult CPR uses thirty chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute followed by two rescue breaths, repeated continuously.

Severe bleeding control

Apply firm direct pressure to the wound with a dressing or clean cloth; do not remove an object embedded in the wound, and press around it.

Burn first aid

Cool a burn with running water for at least ten minutes, remove jewellery and clothing not stuck to the skin, and never burst blisters.

Minimum tyre tread

Passenger car tyres must have at least 1.6 millimetres of tread depth across the central three-quarters of the tread width.

Brake fluid replacement

Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air and should typically be replaced every two years, regardless of the distance driven.

Cold tyre pressure

Tyre pressure must be checked when tyres are cold; under-inflation raises tyre temperature, increases fuel use, and worsens handling and wear.

Mandatory vehicle equipment

Bosnia and Herzegovina requires a warning triangle, first-aid kit, spare wheel or repair kit, and reflective vest to be carried in the vehicle.

Aerodynamic drag

Air resistance grows with the square of speed, so fuel consumption rises steeply above about 90 to 100 km/h on the open road.

Roof rack fuel penalty

An empty roof rack or roof box can increase fuel consumption by ten to twenty-five percent at motorway speeds and should be removed when unused.

Eco-driving anticipation

Smooth acceleration, early lifting off the accelerator, and avoiding hard braking can reduce urban fuel consumption by ten to twenty percent.
