Czech Theory Test D study guide
Czech Theory Test D · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Czech group D driving licence (řidičské oprávnění skupiny D) authorises a driver to drive motor vehicles designed to carry more than eight passengers in addition to the driver - in practice buses and large minibuses used for passenger transport. Candidates usually seek it to work as a bus driver in public transport, long-distance coach services, or for a transport operator, and it is also the entry point for further professional qualifications such as the driver CPC (profesní způsobilost). The Czech Theory Test D study guide has 9 sections and about 4,026 words.
01Traffic rules and road traffic law (pravidla provozu na pozemních komunikacích)
361/2000 Sb., o provozu na pozemních komunikacích, underpins this domain. The exam tests application, not definitions: speed limits for a heavy bus, priority at intersections, overtaking bans, stopping rules and level-crossing duties, all applied to a concrete scene.
602 words, about 3 min02Traffic signs, road markings and traffic control signals
This domain covers výstražné, zákazové, příkazové and informativní značky, dodatkové tabulky, vodorovné značení and světelné signály - including who outranks whom when they conflict. Triangle with a red border: výstraha, e.g.
434 words, about 2 min03Driving theory and vehicle handling for buses (jízda s vozidlem skupiny D)
Category D handling questions test whether you can translate the bus's size and mass into driving decisions: turning geometry, braking, mirrors, reversing and driving in restricted spaces. A standard bus is about 12 m long, 2.55 m wide and 3.2–4 m high; articulated buses reach roughly 18 m.
446 words, about 2 min04Vehicle construction, maintenance and technical condition of buses
This domain examines povinná výbava, pre-trip checks, braking and tyre systems, tachograph and speed limiter, and the inspection regime for buses of category M2/M3. Bus equipment includes lékárnička, hasicí přístroj, výstražný trojúhelník, reflexní vesta, zakládací klíny, spare bulbs and fuses; emergency exits carry a kladívko na sklo.
406 words, about 2 min05Safe driving, hazard perception and behaviour in traffic
Safe driving questions describe scenes in words and ask what you should have anticipated. The tested skill is calibrated risk: speed, distance, attention and a reserve of space to recover.
446 words, about 2 min06First aid and emergency response to traffic accidents
First-aid questions are practical and prioritised: secure the scene, call for help, then treat threats in order of lethality. The legal duty to render aid overlaps with the medical content.
427 words, about 2 min07Driver obligations, documentation and administrative rules
These questions cover documents, the § 5 duties of a driver, accident reporting, penalty points and medical fitness. They are easy marks when you know the exact items, and easy losses when you guess.
424 words, about 2 min08Passenger transport specifics, working time and rest periods for bus drivers
This is the most bus-specific domain: safe carriage of passengers and baggage, plus the driving-time rules of Regulation (EC) 561/2006. Doors closed before moving off; start only once boarding passengers have found a place or a handhold.
441 words, about 2 min09Environmental aspects of driving and economical driving
Environmental and economical driving questions reward concrete technique and the physics behind it: how speed, mass, tyres and anticipation change fuel consumption, emissions and noise. Accelerate progressively and change up around 1,500–2,000 rpm, using the engine's torque band.
