1A wave and a hidden cyclist
A fictional German road exercise describes an ordinary unregulated junction with no special driveway or other exception. A vehicle approaches from the learner's right. That driver waves, while a parked delivery vehicle blocks part of the view and a cyclist may be approaching through the obscured area. The learner feels pressure from traffic behind to enter immediately.

A fictional theory worksheet explicitly defines reaction distance as(v/10)times 3 metres and ordinary braking distance as(v/10)squared metres, wherev is the supplied speed in kilometres per hour. It asks for the approximate total at 50 and 100 km/h. The task assumes the same model conditions and makes no claim that an actual vehicle will always stop within those distances. A learner doubles every component when the speed doubles and another applies an emergency-braking adjustment to the reaction part as well.

Before a fictional planned journey, a driver reports very little sleep, reduced concentration and a newly taken medicine whose leaflet warns about drowsiness. The medicine is legally obtained, but no individual medical assessment or reliable evidence of unimpaired driving is supplied. A companion suggests that drinking coffee and opening a window will make the journey acceptable. An alternative lift is available.

A fictional vehicle has a permitted maximum mass of 400 kilograms and an initial mass of 190 kilograms. Two occupants add 82 and 68 kilograms, while luggage adds 36 kilograms in total. One luggage carrier is limited by its actual manufacturer to 7 kilograms, but 20 kilograms of the luggage are placed there. The model is an explicit loading exercise rather than a statement of the actual statutory limits for any German licence class.
