Question 1Priority Signs
Where on the carriageway is a moped rider generally required to ride when travelling along an ordinary two-way Czech road?
- Along the left edge of the carriageway facing approaching traffic
- Near the right edge of the carriageway, in the right-hand lane Correct answer.
- Directly along the centreline to prevent faster vehicles from overtaking
- On the pedestrian pavement if vehicle speed falls below 30 km/h
Explanation
Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., road traffic in the Czech Republic drives on the right, and vehicles must travel near the right edge of the carriageway in their lane unless turning, overtaking, or avoiding an obstacle. A moped rider must maintain safe distance from the curb while staying to the right.
Question 2Priority Signs
At an uncontrolled intersection where no traffic signs or signals regulate priority, which rule determines right of way between two motor vehicles?
- The larger or heavier vehicle always takes priority over the lighter moped
- The vehicle travelling straight on always yields to vehicles turning across its path
- The driver must give way to vehicles approaching from the right (přednost zprava) Correct answer.
- The driver who reaches the intersection first always holds unconditional right of way
Explanation
Under Section 22 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., where priority is not governed by traffic signs or lights, a driver must give way to vehicles approaching from the right ('přednost zprava'). This fundamental rule applies equally to mopeds, passenger cars, trucks, and tractors.
Question 3Priority Signs
When approaching a railway level crossing without flashing red lights or gates, what is the maximum speed permitted from a distance of 50 metres before the crossing?
- 20 km/h
- 30 km/h Correct answer.
- 40 km/h
- 50 km/h
Explanation
Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., 50 metres before a railway level crossing and while traversing it, a driver may drive at a speed of at most 30 km/h. If a flashing white light is operating on the crossing signal, the speed limit is increased to 50 km/h.
Question 4Priority Signs
When the positive white light flashes on a railway level crossing warning device, what is the maximum permitted approach speed starting 50 metres before the crossing?
- 30 km/h
- 40 km/h
- 50 km/h Correct answer.
- 60 km/h
Explanation
Under Section 28 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., when the flashing white signal light is active, the crossing warning system is functioning properly and no train is detected, permitting drivers to approach and cross at up to 50 km/h. For a Category AM moped, this is subject to the vehicle's 45 km/h maximum design speed.
Question 5Priority Signs
What does a steady circular amber (yellow) light mean when displayed on a standard three-colour traffic signal?
- Accelerate quickly to clear the intersection before cross traffic starts moving
- Stop the vehicle before the stop line, unless you are so close that stopping safely is impossible without hazard Correct answer.
- Proceed with caution because cross traffic is facing a flashing green signal
- Turn right immediately regardless of lane markings or other road users
Explanation
Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a steady circular amber light ('Světlo se žlutým signálem') means stop. A driver may only proceed through an amber signal if they are already so close to the stop line that they could not stop with sufficient safety without braking dangerously.
Question 6Priority Signs
When turning left at an intersection from an ordinary two-way road without special turning lanes, how must a moped position itself?
- On the rightmost pavement edge before making a wide sweeping turn
- As far to the left of its half of the carriageway as possible, near the centreline, without encroaching on oncoming traffic Correct answer.
- Directly into the oncoming lane 20 metres before the intersection to gain time
- On the adjacent pedestrian footpath to wait for traffic to clear completely
Explanation
Under Section 21 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver intending to turn left must position the vehicle as far to the left of their half of the carriageway as possible before turning. This allows vehicles travelling straight or turning right behind them to pass on the right without unnecessary obstruction.
Question 7Priority Signs
When is a driver prohibited from overtaking another vehicle on a Czech road?
- Whenever the vehicle ahead is travelling below the maximum permitted speed limit
- When the driver does not have a clear view ahead or cannot return safely to the right lane after overtaking Correct answer.
- Whenever the road has more than one lane travelling in the same direction
- On any straight section of road during daylight hours
Explanation
Under Section 17 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not overtake if they cannot see clearly far enough ahead, if returning to the lane would endanger or obstruct other road users, or on railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, and blind crests or curves. Ensuring sufficient sight distance and safety margins is an absolute legal prerequisite.
Question 8Priority Signs
Is a moped rider permitted to ride on a dedicated cycle track (stezka pro chodce a cyklisty or stezka pro cyklisty) marked by sign C 8a or C 9a?
- Yes, provided the engine is switched off and the rider pedals manually
- Yes, if the rider maintains a speed below 20 km/h and yields to bicycles
- No, motor vehicles including Category AM mopeds are prohibited from using cycle paths Correct answer.
- Yes, during peak vehicle congestion on the adjacent roadway
Explanation
Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., cycle tracks (stezka pro cyklisty) are dedicated exclusively to pedal bicycles, pedelecs, and personal transporters as defined by law. Motor vehicles, including Category AM combustion or electric mopeds, are strictly barred from cycle paths unless an additional supplementary plate explicitly allows moped access.
Question 9Priority Signs
Within what distance before and on a marked pedestrian crossing (přechod pro chodce) is stopping and parking (zastavení a stání) prohibited?
- Within 3 metres before the crossing
- Within 5 metres before the crossing and on the crossing itself Correct answer.
- Within 10 metres before and after the crossing
- Within 15 metres before the crossing
Explanation
Under Section 27 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not stop or park on a pedestrian crossing or within 5 metres before it. This restriction ensures that pedestrians stepping onto the crossing remain clearly visible to approaching vehicles.
Question 10Priority Signs
What is the legal distance from an intersection inside which stopping and parking are prohibited under Act No. 361/2000 Sb.?
- Within 5 metres from the edge of the intersecting carriageway Correct answer.
- Within 10 metres from the centre of the intersection
- Within 15 metres from the pedestrian crossing
- Within 20 metres of any traffic sign
Explanation
Under Section 27 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not stop or park at an intersection and within 5 metres from the edge of the intersecting carriageway, both before and after the corner. This rule preserves clear sight lines for vehicles entering or turning at the junction.
Question 11Priority Signs
What must a moped rider do when turning right at an intersection if pedestrians are crossing the road into which the rider is turning?
- Sound the horn to warn pedestrians to clear the roadway immediately
- Accelerate to complete the turn before pedestrians reach the vehicle's path
- Give way to pedestrians who are crossing or clearly intending to cross the carriageway Correct answer.
- Ignore the pedestrians unless a green pedestrian traffic light is illuminated
Explanation
Under Section 5(2)(g) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not endanger a pedestrian crossing the road into which the driver is turning; Section 21 adds that the driver must exercise increased caution when turning. In practice the driver must give way and stop if necessary.
Question 12Priority Signs
What is the maximum permitted speed in a Czech living zone (obytná zóna) or pedestrian zone (pěší zóna)?
- 10 km/h
- 20 km/h Correct answer.
- 30 km/h
- 45 km/h
Explanation
Under Section 39 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., the maximum permitted speed for all vehicles in a living zone (obytná zóna) or pedestrian zone (pěší zóna) is 20 km/h. Drivers must exercise increased caution because pedestrians and playing children share the roadway with full legal priority.
Question 13Priority Signs
When exiting a living zone (obytná zóna) or pedestrian zone onto an ordinary road, what priority rule applies?
- The driver exiting the zone has right of way over vehicles approaching from the left
- The standard right-of-way rule (přednost zprava) applies equally to all intersecting roads
- The driver exiting the zone must give way to all vehicles travelling on the road they are entering Correct answer.
- Priority belongs to whichever vehicle is travelling at a higher speed
Explanation
Under Section 23 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver entering a roadway from a living zone, pedestrian zone, cycle track, field track, or private property is considered to be joining traffic and must give way to all vehicles already on the road, regardless of whether approaching from left or right.
Question 14Priority Signs
At a tram stop without a raised boarding island where passengers board directly from the carriageway, what must an approaching driver do?
- Sound the horn continuously and pass carefully at walking pace
- Stop the vehicle behind the tram and allow passengers to board and alight safely without danger or obstruction Correct answer.
- Overtake the tram on the left rail tracks quickly before passengers alight
- Maintain 30 km/h and weave around waiting pedestrians
Explanation
Under Section 15 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., where a tram stop has no boarding island and passengers must cross the roadway between the pavement and the tram doors, a driver behind or alongside the tram must stop to allow passengers safe passage. The driver may proceed only once passenger movement has ceased.
Question 15Priority Signs
When entering a roundabout (kruhový objezd) marked with sign C 1 alongside sign P 4 ('Dej přednost v jízdě!'), what priority rule applies?
- The entering vehicle has priority under the right-hand rule (přednost zprava)
- The entering vehicle must give way to all vehicles already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
- Entering vehicles and circulating vehicles must alternate in zip-merging fashion
- The entering vehicle has priority only if it is turning right at the first exit
Explanation
In Czechia, sign C 1 ('Kruhový objezd') is paired with sign P 4 ('Dej přednost v jízdě!') or P 6 ('Stůj, dej přednost v jízdě!'). Under Section 22 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., the entering driver must give way to vehicles already circulating on the roundabout.
Question 16Priority Signs
What must a driver do when an emergency vehicle approaching with flashing blue (or blue and red) lights and a special sound signal (siren)?
- Speed up to reach the nearest junction and clear the path ahead
- Immediately allow smooth and safe passage, pulling to the right edge or stopping if necessary Correct answer.
- Maintain course and current speed because the emergency vehicle is obligated to navigate around you
- Flash hazard warning lights and continue riding in the center of the lane
Explanation
Under Section 41 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., drivers of all vehicles must enable smooth and safe passage to vehicles with preferential right of way ('vozidla s právem přednostní jízdy'). Riders must steer towards the right edge of the carriageway and, if circumstances require, bring their vehicle to a complete halt.
Question 17Priority Signs
When entering an intersection where traffic is controlled by a police officer, what does it mean if the officer stands facing you with arms outstretched sideways?
- Proceed straight ahead or turn right without stopping
- Traffic approaching the officer's front or back must stop (equivalent to a red signal) Correct answer.
- Traffic must accelerate to clear the junction as quickly as possible
- Traffic from all directions may proceed simultaneously with caution
Explanation
Under Section 75 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., when a police officer stands with arms extended sideways (or arms along the body), traffic approaching facing the officer's chest or back must stop, exactly like a red light ('Stůj!'). Traffic approaching from the officer's sides may proceed straight ahead or turn.
Question 18Priority Signs
What is the meaning of a police officer raising their right arm vertically upwards during intersection traffic control?
- All drivers in all directions must immediately reverse out of the intersection
- Drivers must stop before the intersection, while vehicles already in the intersection must clear it (equivalent to an amber light) Correct answer.
- All vehicles may turn left immediately regardless of approach direction
- The officer is cancelling all existing speed limits on the road
Explanation
Under Section 75 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a police officer with an arm raised upright signals 'Pozor!' (Attention), which serves the same legal function as a steady amber traffic light. Drivers preparing to enter the intersection must stop, while those already inside must clear the junction safely.
Question 19Priority Signs
What is the legal hierarchy of traffic control instructions under Czech law when road signs, traffic lights, and police officer signals conflict?
- Road signs override traffic lights, and traffic lights override police officers
- Police officer signals override traffic lights, and traffic lights override vertical road signs Correct answer.
- Horizontal road markings override police officer signals and traffic lights
- General statutory rules of the road override all physical signs and police commands
Explanation
Under Section 76 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., police officer instructions take highest legal precedence, overriding traffic light signals and road signs. Where police are absent, light signals take precedence over vertical traffic signs and road markings governing priority.
Question 20Priority Signs
Under Section 18 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., how must a driver adjust their driving speed?
- Always travel exactly at the posted speed limit regardless of atmospheric or road conditions
- Adjust speed according to vehicle capabilities, road surface, visibility, weather, traffic density, and personal skill to stop safely within clear distance Correct answer.
- Keep speed matching the vehicle immediately behind to prevent tailgating
- Maintain 45 km/h at all times to maximize traffic flow efficiency
Explanation
Section 18 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. requires the driver to adapt speed above all to their abilities, the vehicle's technical characteristics, the condition of the road, weather, visibility, and traffic situations, so that the driver is able to stop the vehicle within the distance they have a clear view.
Question 21Priority Signs
On a one-way street (jednosměrná pozemní komunikace), on which side of the carriageway is a driver permitted to stop or park?
- Exclusively on the left side of the street
- On both the right and left sides of the carriageway, provided at least one 3-metre lane remains free for traffic Correct answer.
- In the middle of the street between directional arrows
- Parking is strictly banned on all one-way streets in Czechia
Explanation
Under Section 25(1)(a) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver may stop and stand only on the right in the direction of travel and as close as possible to the edge of the road, but on a one-way road on the right and the left. Section 25(3) still requires that at least one 3-metre-wide lane remain free for each direction of travel when parking.
Question 22Priority Signs
What is the rule regarding overtaking when approaching a pedestrian crossing (přechod pro chodce)?
- Overtaking is permitted provided the driver sounds their horn to alert pedestrians
- A driver must not overtake another vehicle on a pedestrian crossing or immediately before it Correct answer.
- Overtaking is permitted if the pedestrian crossing has no pedestrians actively on it
- A moped may overtake on the right curb if the leading car slows down
Explanation
Under Section 17(5)(d) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not overtake on a pedestrian crossing or a cyclist crossing, or immediately before them. This prevents a vehicle from blocking sightlines to crossing pedestrians or striking a pedestrian hidden by a yielding vehicle.
Question 23Priority Signs
What must a driver do if a vehicle in an adjacent lane travelling in the same direction slows down or stops before a pedestrian crossing?
- Accelerate to clear the crossing before any pedestrian crosses into their lane
- Also reduce speed or stop their vehicle to yield to pedestrians crossing or about to cross Correct answer.
- Maintain regular speed while flashing headlights to signal warning
- Sound the horn and swerve into the oncoming lane to pass safely
Explanation
Under Section 5(1)(h) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must reduce speed or stop before a pedestrian crossing if the drivers of other vehicles travelling in the same direction also reduce speed or stop before that crossing. The rule stops a moving vehicle from hitting a pedestrian screened by the vehicle that has already yielded.
Question 24Priority Signs
Under what circumstance may a driver enter an intersection even when facing a green traffic signal?
- Always; a green signal grants an unconditional right to enter regardless of conditions ahead
- Only if traffic situation beyond the intersection allows the vehicle to continue through and not block cross traffic Correct answer.
- Whenever the vehicle is small enough to squeeze between queuing cars
- Only if no pedestrians are visible anywhere on sidewalks nearby
Explanation
Under Section 22(3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not enter an intersection if the situation does not allow them to continue through and beyond it, so that they would be forced to stop inside the junction. The Act allows only two exceptions: stopping to meet the duty toward pedestrians under Section 5(1)(h), and stopping while turning left under Section 21(5).
Question 25Priority Signs
What does circular prohibition sign B 1 ('Zákaz vjezdu všech vozidel v obou směrech') mean?
- No entry for motor vehicles only; bicycles and mopeds may enter
- No entry for all vehicles in both directions Correct answer.
- Road closed only between 22:00 and 06:00
- Entry prohibited only for vehicles transporting dangerous goods
Explanation
Sign B 1 is a blank white circle with a solid red border, meaning 'Zákaz vjezdu všech vozidel v obou směrech' (No entry for all vehicles in both directions). It bars entry to all vehicles whatsoever, including passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, and pedal bicycles.
Question 26Priority Signs
What does traffic sign B 11 ('Zákaz vjezdu všech motorových vozidel') mean?
- Entry is prohibited for all motor vehicles, but non-motorized vehicles (such as pedal bicycles) are permitted Correct answer.
- Entry is prohibited only for multi-track motor vehicles, permitting solo motorcycles and mopeds
- Motor vehicles must turn off headlights upon entering
- Entry is prohibited only during weekend hours
Explanation
Sign B 11 depicts an automobile and a motorcycle inside a red circular border. It prohibits entry to all motor vehicles ('Zákaz vjezdu všech motorových vozidel'). Because mopeds are motor vehicles, Category AM vehicles cannot enter, while unassisted pedal cycles may enter lawfully.
Question 27Priority Signs
What is the legal obligation imposed by priority sign P 4 ('Dej přednost v jízdě!')?
- The driver must come to a mandatory full stop in all circumstances before entering the junction
- The driver must give way to vehicles travelling on the intersecting main road, but is not required to come to a complete stop if the road is visibly clear Correct answer.
- The driver has priority over all vehicles coming from the left
- The driver must accelerate into the intersection to merge smoothly
Explanation
Sign P 4 ('Dej přednost v jízdě!' - inverted triangle) obliges the driver to give way to vehicles travelling along the intersecting main priority road. Unlike sign P 6 (STOP), sign P 4 does not mandate a physical halt if the driver can clearly confirm that no conflicting traffic requires yielding.
Question 28Priority Signs
Where must a driver stop when facing priority sign P 6 ('Stůj, dej přednost v jízdě!' / STOP)?
- Exactly 10 metres before reaching the sign post
- At the marked stop line (příčná čára souvislá), or where none exists, at a place from which there is a safe and sufficient view of the intersecting road Correct answer.
- Directly alongside the sign post regardless of whether the intersecting roadway is visible
- Anywhere within 20 metres after the intersection
Explanation
Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., sign P 6 mandates a complete stop. If transverse stop line marking V 5 is present, the driver must stop before it. If no stop line is marked, the driver must stop at a point that affords an unobstructed, safe view of oncoming traffic on the priority road before proceeding.
Question 29Priority Signs
What does priority sign P 1 ('Křižovatka s vedlejší pozemní komunikací') tell drivers?
- That the upcoming intersection is uncontrolled and the right-hand rule applies
- That the driver has priority at the immediately upcoming intersection over traffic entering from secondary side roads Correct answer.
- That the road ahead is terminating at a dead end
- That traffic lights ahead are permanently out of service
Explanation
Sign P 1 is a triangular sign showing a thick vertical priority line crossed by a thin horizontal line. Under Decree No. 294/2015 Sb. it warns outside built-up areas of an intersection ahead and marks the road the driver is on as the main road, so the driver has right of way over traffic entering from the minor road.
Question 30Priority Signs
What does diamond-shaped sign P 2 ('Hlavní pozemní komunikace') indicate?
- The road is a motorway with a 130 km/h speed limit
- The driver is on a main road with priority at intersections until sign P 3 ('Konec hlavní pozemní komunikace') cancels it Correct answer.
- Parking is permitted free of charge across the entire roadway
- The road is reserved exclusively for public transport buses
Explanation
Sign P 2 (yellow diamond with a white border) indicates 'Hlavní pozemní komunikace' (Priority road). Drivers travelling on this road hold right of way at all intersections along the route until cancelled by sign P 3 or altered by priority signs at specific junctions.
Question 31Priority Signs
When supplementary plate E 2b ('Tvar křižovatky') is mounted beneath priority sign P 2 or P 4, what does the broad, thick line represent?
- A pedestrian crossing across the junction
- The course of the main priority road through the intersection Correct answer.
- The path reserved exclusively for tram lines
- A section of road undergoing emergency construction
Explanation
Supplementary plate E 2b illustrates the actual physical layout of the intersection. The thick black line indicates the course of the main road ('hlavní pozemní komunikace'), while thin lines represent secondary roads ('vedlejší pozemní komunikace'). Drivers following or crossing the thick line must apply priority accordingly.
Question 32Priority Signs
What does mandatory sign C 2b ('Přikázaný směr jízdy vpravo') oblige a driver to do?
- Turn right at the intersection or point indicated by the sign arrow Correct answer.
- Yield to all vehicles arriving from the right
- Park immediately on the right-hand curb
- Proceed straight ahead and avoid turning right
Explanation
Sign C 2b is a circular blue sign carrying a white arrow that points to the right. Under Decree No. 294/2015 Sb. it is 'Přikázaný směr jízdy vpravo' and orders drivers to travel to the right. The same C 2 series covers straight ahead (C 2a), left (C 2c) and the combined arrows (C 2d to C 2f).
Question 33Priority Signs
What does warning sign A 12a ('Chodci') indicate?
- A pedestrian crossing is located 10 metres ahead
- Increased occurrence of pedestrians walking along or across the road (e.g. near schools or leisure areas), requiring heightened driver vigilance Correct answer.
- A pedestrian street where motor vehicles may drive at 50 km/h
- Pedestrians are prohibited from using this road section
Explanation
Under Decree No. 294/2015 Sb., sign A 12a 'Chodci' warns of a place or section of road where pedestrians occur in increased numbers or frequently cross, for example near schools, playgrounds or town centres. It calls for heightened caution and readiness to stop. The companion sign A 12b 'Děti' warns specifically of children.
Question 34Priority Signs
What does a green arrow displayed in an auxiliary green light signal (zelená doplňková šipka - sign S 5) beside a red main traffic light allow?
- Drivers may turn in the direction of the arrow, but must yield to vehicles travelling in the open direction and to pedestrians crossing Correct answer.
- Drivers have unconditional priority over all other road users in all directions
- Drivers must make an immediate U-turn before the intersection
- Drivers may proceed straight through the red light at maximum speed
Explanation
Under Section 70 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., an auxiliary green arrow ('zelená doplňková šipka') permits the driver to proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow even though the main circular signal is red. However, the driver must give way to vehicles moving in the free direction and to pedestrians crossing the roadway.
Question 35Priority Signs
What does a flashing yellow light signal (přerušované žluté světlo) at an intersection mean under Czech traffic rules?
- The intersection is closed to all vehicular traffic until police arrive
- The traffic light control system is out of operation; drivers must follow vertical priority signs or, if absent, the right-hand rule (přednost zprava) Correct answer.
- All approaching drivers must come to a mandatory complete stop
- Traffic approaching from the north always has priority over the south
Explanation
Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a flashing amber light ('přerušované žluté světlo') warns of a hazard and indicates that the traffic light sequencing is deactivated. Drivers must navigate the intersection according to vertical traffic signs (e.g. P 2, P 4, P 6) or, if no signs are present, the general right-hand priority rule ('přednost zprava').
Question 36Priority Signs
At an uncontrolled T-junction where two roads meet without any signs, vehicle A travels straight along the continuous top bar, while moped B approaches from the terminating road on vehicle A's right. Who has priority?
- Vehicle A, because it is travelling on the continuous road
- Moped B, because it is approaching from the right (přednost zprava) Correct answer.
- Whichever vehicle is travelling faster
- Vehicle A, because cars always take priority over mopeds
Explanation
Section 22(1) governs junctions signed with 'Dej přednost v jízdě!' or 'Stůj, dej přednost v jízdě!'. Where priority does not follow from that provision, Section 22(2) applies: the driver must give way to vehicles approaching from the right ('přednost zprava'). Czech law draws no automatic distinction between a through road and a terminating road at an unsigned T-junction, so because moped B is on vehicle A's right, moped B has right of way.
Question 37Priority Signs
You are riding a moped on a main priority road (marked by sign P 2). An oncoming car is signalling a left turn across your lane into a side street. Who must yield?
- You must yield to the oncoming car because left-turning vehicles take precedence
- The oncoming turning car must yield to you, because a driver turning left must give way to oncoming vehicles travelling straight Correct answer.
- Both vehicles must stop and negotiate who goes first via hand gestures
- Priority is decided by whoever reaches the junction center first
Explanation
Under Section 21(5) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver turning left must give way to oncoming motor and non-motor vehicles, trams travelling in both directions, and cyclists in cycle lanes. Because you are travelling straight on the priority road, the oncoming turning car must yield.
Question 38Priority Signs
You are approaching a railway level crossing where the red lights have just begun to alternate flashing, but the physical crossing barriers (gates) have not yet started descending. Are you permitted to cross?
- Yes, provided you cross at maximum speed before the barriers lower
- No, you must stop immediately before the crossing; entering a railway crossing when flashing red lights are active is strictly prohibited regardless of barrier position Correct answer.
- Yes, if you can clearly see no train approaching for 500 metres
- Only two-wheeled mopeds are permitted to cross under descending barriers
Explanation
Under Section 29 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver must not enter a railway crossing if warning signals are given by two alternating red flashing lights, even if the barriers have not yet moved or are only beginning to descend. Disobeying level crossing signals is a severe traffic crime carrying immediate driving bans.
Question 39Priority Signs
When entering an ordinary roadway from a private petrol station or parking lot, what priority rule applies?
- Right-hand rule (přednost zprava) against vehicles on the public road
- The entering driver must give way to all vehicles travelling on the road they are entering Correct answer.
- Priority belongs to the exiting vehicle if turning right
- Vehicles on the public road must yield to let the exiting vehicle merge
Explanation
Under Section 23 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., when entering a public road from adjacent real property, parking areas, fuel stations, or field tracks, the driver must give way to all vehicles already travelling on that road, both from the left and from the right.
Question 40Priority Signs
When arriving first at a road traffic collision scene, what is the absolute first priority before approaching casualties?
- Immediately drag casualties out of the wreckage onto the asphalt
- Ensure personal safety and scene safety (stop your vehicle safely, put on a reflective vest, turn on hazard lights, and set up a warning triangle) Correct answer.
- Take photographs and upload them to social media
- Search the casualty's pockets for health insurance cards
Explanation
The fundamental principle of first aid in road collisions is personal and scene safety. Entering an unsecured roadway risks secondary collisions that can injure or kill the rescuer. Rescuers must secure the scene, illuminate hazard lights, wear high-visibility gear, and deploy warning triangles before administering aid.
Question 41Hazards Fitness
What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for a moped rider operating on public roads in the Czech Republic?
- 0.00‰ (zero tolerance) Correct answer.
- 0.20‰ tolerance for young riders
- 0.50‰ for non-commercial light vehicles
- 0.80‰ provided no accident occurs
Explanation
Act No. 361/2000 Sb. imposes strict zero tolerance (0.00‰) for alcohol and intoxicating substances for all drivers on Czech roads. Operating a moped or any motor vehicle with any measurable alcohol concentration is an administrative infraction or criminal offence.
Question 42Hazards Fitness
When driving a moped during daylight hours in clear weather, what lighting is legally required under Czech law?
- No lights are necessary during daylight if visibility is clear
- Dipped beam headlights (potkávací světla) or daytime running lights must be illuminated at all times Correct answer.
- Only the rear position red light must be illuminated
- High beam headlights (dálková světla) must be kept on continuously
Explanation
Under Section 32 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., motor vehicles must operate with dipped headlights (potkávací světla) or approved daytime running lights illuminated at all times while in motion, including in broad daylight. On two-wheeled mopeds and motorcycles, continuous dipped lighting is mandatory to ensure visibility.
Question 43Hazards Fitness
When using daytime running lights during daylight, what must a moped driver do immediately upon entering a road tunnel or encountering fog?
- Continue using daytime running lights to conserve battery charge
- Switch immediately to dipped beam headlights (potkávací světla) Correct answer.
- Activate hazard warning lights while maintaining speed
- Turn on high beam headlights immediately
Explanation
Daytime running lights are permitted only during normal daytime visibility. Under Act No. 361/2000 Sb., during reduced visibility (snížená viditelnost)-such as in fog, rain, snow, darkness, or inside tunnels-the driver must immediately switch to dipped beam headlights to ensure rear lamps are lit and forward illumination is adequate.
Question 44Hazards Fitness
When is a moped rider permitted to use a handheld mobile phone while operating the vehicle?
- Only when riding at speeds below 20 km/h in slow traffic
- Never; holding a phone or other communication device in the hand or between shoulder and ear while driving is strictly prohibited Correct answer.
- Whenever the rider is stopped temporarily at a red traffic signal
- Only if sending text messages rather than making voice calls
Explanation
Under Section 7 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., a driver is strictly prohibited from holding a telephone or other communication device in the hand or between ear and shoulder while driving. This prohibition applies whenever the vehicle is in traffic, including during brief stops at red lights or in queues.
Question 45Hazards Fitness
What is the minimum safe following distance behind the preceding vehicle required under Czech traffic law for good driving practice?
- A distance that allows stopping safely if the driver ahead suddenly stops or changes speed, generally at least 2 seconds in normal conditions Correct answer.
- Exactly 5 metres at all driving speeds
- Half a vehicle length regardless of road surface

Question 47Incident Environment
How far in advance must a driver place the portable warning triangle behind a broken-down vehicle on an ordinary road outside a built-up area?
- At least 15 metres behind the vehicle
- At least 50 metres behind the vehicle Correct answer.
- At least 100 metres behind the vehicle
- Directly onto the rear rack of the moped
Explanation
Under Section 26(3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., the warning triangle must be placed on the edge of the carriageway so it is visible in good time, at a distance of at least 50 metres behind the vehicle, and at least 100 metres on a motorway. Inside a built-up area that distance may be shorter if the circumstances require it.
Question 48Incident Environment
Is third-party motor liability insurance (povinné ručení) legally mandatory for operating a moped on public roads in the Czech Republic?
- No, mopeds under 50 cm3 are completely exempt from insurance requirements
- Yes, every motor vehicle operated on public roads must have valid compulsory third-party liability insurance under Act No. 168/1999 Sb. / Act No. 30/2024 Sb. Correct answer.
- Insurance is only required if the rider travels outside their registered home district
- Insurance is required only if the moped has an electric motor
Explanation
Under Czech insurance legislation, all motor vehicles operated on public roads must have valid compulsory third-party liability insurance ('pojištění odpovědnosti z provozu vozidla' / povinné ručení). Operating an uninsured moped subjects the owner and driver to heavy fines and full personal civil liability for all damages caused in an accident.
Question 49Incident Environment
What are the immediate legal duties of a driver involved in a traffic accident before police arrive?
- Flee the scene as fast as possible to avoid liability
- Stop the vehicle immediately, take steps to prevent further danger, mark the scene, give first aid to the extent of your ability and call the emergency medical service if anyone is injured Correct answer.
- Move all damaged vehicles off the road immediately without checking for injuries
- Accept full civil guilt immediately by signing blank paper
Explanation
Section 47(2) and (3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. require a driver involved in an accident to stop the vehicle without delay, take measures to prevent further damage, mark the scene, and - where anyone is hurt - give first aid to the extent of their ability and call the emergency medical service. Note that the reflective-clothing duty in Section 5(1)(l) expressly does not apply to riders of motorcycles, mopeds and non-motor vehicles, although carrying and wearing one is still sensible.
Question 50Vehicle Load
When parallel parking along the right edge of a two-way street, what minimum remaining lane width must be left free for moving traffic?
- At least 3 metres for each direction of travel (total 6 metres for both directions) Correct answer.
- At least 2 metres in total across the roadway
- At least 1.5 metres next to the parked vehicle
- No specific lane width is required as long as pedestrians can walk on the pavement
Explanation
Under Section 25 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., when stopping or parking at the edge of the carriageway, at least one 3-metre wide traffic lane must remain free for each direction of travel (or at least one 3-metre wide lane for one-way streets). If this width cannot be preserved, stopping and parking are prohibited.
