Germany Category T Theory Test study plan

List ten typical hazard situations from rural and farm-adjacent roads (blind bends, crests, field entrances, mud on the carriageway, slow-moving machinery) and state the correct speed and observation response for each

Explain how sight-line length, road width and surface condition determine a safe speed on unsurfaced and narrow lanes, and apply this to three worked examples

Describe the tractor-specific hazard of a high centre of gravity and a short wheelbase when cornering, braking and driving on cambered or sloped ground

Identify the situations in which a following distance must be increased beyond the normal rule and justify each with a stopping-distance calculation

Apply the priority rules for junctions without signs, including the 'rechts vor links' principle, to at least fifteen described junction scenarios

Explain when indicators must be set, when they may be omitted and how to signal clearly with a hand signal when the indicator fails

Describe correct behaviour towards pedestrians, cyclists, children, elderly road users and horse riders, including the required lateral clearance when overtaking

State the rules on alcohol, drugs, mobile phone use and tachograph or driving-time limits that apply to agricultural tractors on public roads

Distinguish the four right-of-way sign types (priority road, priority at the next junction, yield, stop) and state the behaviour each demands at the line

Explain how traffic lights, police hand signals and temporary roadworks signage override or modify static signs and the general priority rules

Describe the correct behaviour at roundabouts, including lane choice, indicating on exit and the position of large or slow vehicles

State the rules for entering and leaving motorways and dual carriageways where tractors are permitted, and explain the ban on motorways for slow vehicles

Reproduce from memory the meaning of the main danger, regulatory and direction signs, grouping them by shape and colour so that unfamiliar signs can be inferred

Explain the meaning of the most important road markings, including solid and broken lines, stop lines, hatched areas and parking restrictions

Describe the signs and markings that specifically affect agricultural traffic, such as weight and width limits, tractor-prohibition signs and field-path restrictions

Interpret traffic-calming features, level-crossing signage and the behaviour required at each

Explain the function and failure symptoms of the braking system on a tractor, including hydraulic and air-brake components and the daily pre-drive check

Describe the steering, suspension and tyre requirements for a tractor, including tread depth, tyre pressure and the effect of incorrect pressure on handling and soil

Identify the checks a driver must make before a journey: lights, mirrors, horn, fluid levels, coupling devices and the condition of the three-point linkage

Explain how a tractor's transmission, differential lock and four-wheel drive affect grip, steering and braking on slopes and in wet conditions

Describe the correct procedure for hitching and unhitching a trailer, including the safety checks on the coupling, the breakaway cable and the parking brake

Calculate the permissible trailer load from the tractor's towing capacity, the trailer's gross weight and the driving-licence class limits, using three worked examples

Explain the principles of load securing for round bales, pallets and loose goods, including the use of straps, netting and the required number of securing points

State the lighting, marking and speed-limit requirements for trailers and for combinations exceeding normal dimensions

Explain how driving style, gear choice, engine speed and idling affect fuel consumption and emissions on a tractor, and describe at least five fuel-saving practices

Describe the environmental rules on refuelling, handling oils and lubricants, and the consequences of spills on soil and water

List the personal fitness requirements for driving, including the effects of fatigue, illness, medication and eyesight, and the rules on medical checks

Describe the first-aid measures for the most likely incidents in agricultural traffic: a collision, a crush injury, a bleed and an unconscious casualty, including the recovery position and the emergency call

Complete two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and record the score per domain

Re-study every domain in which the mock score fell below 80 percent and write a short note on each missed question type

Rehearse the hazard-perception approach on at least twenty described situations, stating the hazard, the response and the reason within the time allowed

Confirm readiness by reviewing the pre-drive checklist, the load calculations and the right-of-way decision diagram from earlier weeks
