Classify the main regulatory sign categories (prohibition, mandatory, information) and state the action required for each.

Describe the default right-of-way rule at intersections without signs and list three exceptions.

Draw a simple intersection diagram and label which vehicle yields in four common scenarios.

State the general speed limits for built-up areas, outside built-up areas, motorways, and for lorries over 7.5 tonnes.

Explain overtaking rules for lorries, including prohibited locations and the required lateral clearance for cyclists and pedestrians.

Describe parking and stopping restrictions relevant to goods vehicles, including banned zones and time limits.

Interpret road markings (continuous lines, hatched areas, bus lanes) and their legal consequences.

List the mandatory periodic technical inspection intervals for lorries in Belgium and the documents required at the inspection.

Identify the main braking system components and explain how to perform a daily pre-departure brake check.

Describe how to check tyre tread depth, tyre pressure, and load distribution before a trip.

Explain the purpose of the tachograph and how it connects to vehicle inspection requirements.

State the daily driving limit, weekly driving limit, and required breaks for professional lorry drivers under EU rules.

Explain how to use a digital tachograph: insert card, select activity, and record manual entries.

Describe the consequences of tachograph manipulation and the driver's responsibility to protect records.

Calculate remaining driving time from a sample daily record and identify when a break is due.

Explain the rules on weekly rest, reduced weekly rest, and compensation for reduced rest.

State the environmental rules for lorry routes in Belgian low-emission zones and required vehicle stickers.

Plan a route that avoids low-emission zone penalties and minimises fuel use for a given delivery schedule.

Complete a full-length mock theory exam under timed conditions and score at least 80%.
