8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Road Traffic Law and Regulations (Закон за движението по пътищата)
Map the structure of the Bulgarian road traffic law: list its main chapters and name the article ranges covering general rules, driver duties and offences.
State the default speed limits for built-up areas, outside built-up areas, motorways and motor-vehicle-only roads, and recite the conditions under which each may be raised or lowered.
Explain right-of-way at unregulated junctions, including the right-hand rule, and at junctions with priority signs.
Define the legal duties at pedestrian crossings, at a stop line and when a tram or emergency vehicle with active signals approaches.
Summarise the sanctions framework: penalty points, fines, licence withdrawal and the offences that trigger immediate suspension.
Your checkpoint
A one-page handwritten summary sheet of speed limits, right-of-way rules and the top ten sanctionable offences, self-quizzed to 90% recall.
Road Traffic Law and Regulations (Закон за движението по пътищата)
Apply overtaking, lane-change, turning and U-turn rules to ten written scenario descriptions, stating which vehicle must yield in each.
List the parking and stopping prohibitions and identify the minimum distances from junctions, crossings, tram stops and rail crossings.
Describe the rules for level crossings, including behaviour at a malfunctioning barrier or flashing red signal.
Recite the obligations after a road traffic accident: stopping, warning other traffic, exchanging details and notifying the police.
Explain the rules on alcohol, drugs and medication, including the permitted blood-alcohol level and refusal to be tested.
Your checkpoint
A 25-question self-made written test on Domain 1, scored and with every wrong answer corrected in writing.
Road Signs, Markings and Traffic Signals
Identify every category of warning sign by shape and colour and state the correct driver response for each.
Classify priority, prohibitory, mandatory and information signs and give the meaning of at least 40 individual signs from memory.

Describe the meaning of traffic light sequences, flashing signals, lane-control signals and hand signals from a traffic controller.
Your checkpoint
A flashcard set covering at least 60 signs and markings, with a timed recognition test completed at 90% accuracy or better.
Road Signs, Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Hazard Perception
Combine signs, markings and signals in ten multi-element junction descriptions and state the correct action and priority.
Explain the stopping-distance formula and calculate total stopping distance at 30, 50 and 90 km/h on dry and wet surfaces.
Describe the effects of rain, ice, fog, snow and night driving on grip, visibility and safe following distance.
Identify the main hazard types in urban traffic: pedestrians stepping out, cyclists, scooters, parked-vehicle doors and blind junctions.
Apply a systematic observation routine for approaching junctions, crossings and bends.
Your checkpoint
A hazard-perception log of 15 described scenarios with the hazard identified, the correct response and the reaction distance calculated for each.
Safe Driving and Hazard Perception & Vehicle Categories, Driving Licences and Driver Obligations
Explain fatigue, distraction and speed as risk factors and state the countermeasures a professional driver must apply.
Describe behaviour in tunnels, on motorways, in roadworks and in adverse winter conditions, including chain and winter-tyre requirements.
Match each driving licence category to the vehicles it covers and state the minimum age and the conditions for each category.
List the documents a driver must carry and produce on request, and explain the validity periods for licence, medical certificate and vehicle documents.
Summarise the obligations of the driver towards passengers, especially children, seat belts and crash helmets.
Your checkpoint
A comparison table of licence categories with age limits, vehicle types and conditions, plus a 20-question mixed quiz on Domains 3 and 4.
Vehicle Technical Knowledge and Roadworthiness for Category C & Loads, Dimensions, Weights and Towing Rules
Describe the daily and pre-departure checks of a category C vehicle: tyres, brakes, lights, steering, fluids and warning systems.
Explain the legal minimum tread depth, tyre-pressure checks and the rules on tyre type and mixing.
Interpret the dashboard warning symbols relevant to a heavy goods vehicle and state which require an immediate stop.
State the maximum authorised dimensions, gross weights and axle loads for a category C vehicle and its combination.
Apply the rules on load securing, load distribution, overhang, marking of projecting loads and the towing limits for trailers.
Your checkpoint
A completed pre-departure inspection checklist for a category C vehicle with the legal limits for dimensions, weights and tread depth written in.
Driving and Rest Periods, Tachograph and Transport Documentation & First Aid, Emergency Situations and Accident Procedures
Explain the EU driving and rest time rules: daily and weekly driving limits, breaks and daily and weekly rest.
Describe how a digital tachograph is operated, what must be recorded manually and which records must be kept and produced for inspection.
List the transport documents a goods vehicle must carry and explain who is responsible for each.
Apply the first-aid sequence at a crash scene: scene safety, emergency call, assessment, recovery position and CPR.
Describe how to manage a fire, a breakdown on a motorway and the use of the warning triangle and high-visibility vest.
Your checkpoint
A one-page reference card of driving and rest time limits plus a written walkthrough of a crash-scene response in correct order.
Environmental Protection and Fuel-Efficient Driving & Road Traffic Law and Regulations (Закон за движението по пътищата) & Road Signs, Markings and Traffic Signals
Apply fuel-efficient driving techniques: smooth acceleration, early gear changes, anticipation, engine braking and correct tyre pressure.
Explain the environmental rules on emissions, low-emission zones, idling and waste disposal from the vehicle.
Re-run full-length mock tests across all domains under timed conditions and score each attempt.
Review every wrong answer from the mock tests and close each gap with a written correction note.
Recite the ten rules you most often got wrong until you can state each one unaided.
Your checkpoint
Three full timed mock tests completed with a final score of at least 90% and a written correction list for every remaining error.
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 85% on a self-made 25-question Domain 1 test and explain every wrong answer in writing.
Week 4: Recognise 60 signs and markings at 90% accuracy and correctly resolve ten combined sign-and-marking junction scenarios.
Week 6: Complete the category C pre-departure checklist from memory and state all dimension and weight limits without notes.
Week 8: Achieve 90% or better on three consecutive full timed mock tests covering all nine domains.
