20 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Vorfahrt
- Priority at the relevant junction under the applicable German control and rules, not a general right to force passage despite a preventable danger.
- Vorrang des Gegenverkehrs
- Priority given to oncoming traffic under the relevant sign, distinct from the yellow-diamond indication of a priority road.
- Andreaskreuz
- The German railway-crossing sign indicating priority of rail traffic, requiring interpretation with actual signals, barriers and the available clearing space.
- Supplementary plate
- An additional sign defining relevant scope, direction or conditions, interpreted together with the main sign rather than as an isolated symbol.
- Reaktionsweg
- The distance traveled during the response interval in the stated model, distinguished from the later braking component and not necessarily exactly one second.
- Bremsweg
- The braking-distance component under the defined assumptions, which is not interchangeable with total stopping distance including perception and response.
- Anhalteweg
- The total stopping-distance quantity in the stated learner model, obtained by combining its separate reaction and braking components with their assumptions.
- Design speed
- The vehicle's specified construction-related maximum speed, distinguished from the speed limit posted on the road or the speed a driver happens to achieve.
- Toter Winkel
- A blind area not adequately visible through the available direct or assisted view, requiring appropriate current checks rather than an assumption that it is empty.
- Target fixation
- Attention locked onto a hazard or object that reduces awareness of the wider traffic situation and can interfere with choosing the intended path.
- Conspicuity
- How readily a road user can be noticed in the actual environment, improved by suitable equipment but never guaranteeing that another person has seen them.
- Driving fitness
- The actual ability to drive safely given fatigue, illness, substances and other factors, not established solely by possessing a licence or feeling confident.
- Permitted maximum mass
- A specified authorized vehicle value, distinguished from actual current mass and applied according to the exact rule or sign definition.
- Axle load
- The load supported by a particular axle, which can exceed its applicable limit even when the complete vehicle remains under an overall total.
- Carrier limit
- The specified load limit of a rack or attachment, remaining a separate constraint even when the whole vehicle has spare payload capacity.
- Load restraint
- The actual means preventing unacceptable cargo movement, assessed for the article, mounting, forces and applicable requirements rather than appearance alone.
- Anticipatory driving
- Driving that observes developing traffic early and uses smooth appropriate control inputs, reducing avoidable braking, fuel use and hazard exposure.
- Environmental-zone applicability
- The determination of the actual vehicle and exception rules governing entry, avoiding transfer of a car sticker requirement to every motorcycle.
- Scene protection
- Actions reducing immediate danger to people and approaching traffic at an incident, before attempting an improvised repair or untrained intervention.
- Emergency location information
- An accurate description allowing emergency services to find the incident, combined with the situation and known hazards while following the operator's questions.
