Road traffic law and the Greek Highway Code (Κώδικας Οδικής Κυκλοφορίας)
Map the structure of the Greek Highway Code (ΚΟΚ) by listing its main chapters and identifying which articles govern documents, vehicle registration and driver licensing.
Define the categories of driving licence and the vehicle categories they authorise, and state the age and medical requirements attached to each.
List the documents a driver must carry or be able to produce during a roadside check, and explain what happens when a document is missing.
Explain the rules on vehicle registration, periodic technical inspection (ΚΤΕΟ) and insurance liability in your own words without notes.
Your checkpoint
A one-page handwritten summary sheet covering licence categories, required documents and inspection/insurance obligations, written from memory and then corrected against your source material.
Road traffic law and the Greek Highway Code (Κώδικας Οδικής Κυκλοφορίας) & Road signs, signals and road markings
Classify road signs by shape and colour family (warning, regulatory, information, priority) and state what each family obliges the driver to do.
Decode road markings: continuous and broken lines, edge lines, hatched areas, stop lines, bus lane markings and parking markings.
Match traffic-light configurations and police/authorised-official hand signals to the correct driver response, including flashing amber and arrow signals.
Identify the sign or marking that overrides a general rule in a given scenario, such as a priority-road sign at an unmarked junction.
Your checkpoint
A self-made flashcard deck of at least 60 items (sign or marking on one side, meaning plus required action on the other) scored at 90% or better in a single self-test.
Road traffic law and the Greek Highway Code (Κώδικας Οδικής Κυκλοφορίας) & Road signs, signals and road markings
List the general obligations of a driver towards other road users, including vulnerable users, and the prohibitions on stopping, parking and obstructing.
State the rules on seat belts, child restraints, helmets and load securing, and identify the exceptions recognised in Greek law.
Explain the documentation and behaviour rules for motorways and expressways, including prohibited vehicles and lane discipline.
Complete a timed mixed set of questions drawn only from domains 1 and 2 and review every error to its underlying rule.
Your checkpoint
A written error log of at least 20 corrected mistakes from a 40-question mixed test, each entry naming the rule that was misapplied.
Traffic priority rules, intersections and roundabouts & Speed limits, safe following distance and stopping
Apply the priority hierarchy at unmarked intersections: signs, then markings, then the general give-way-to-the-right rule, then specific manoeuvre rules.
Describe the correct entry, lane choice and exit procedure at roundabouts, including signalling and priority for vehicles already circulating.
State the general urban, non-urban and motorway speed limits and identify who may set lower limits and by what means.
Compute safe following distance using the two-second rule and explain how it changes with speed, weather, load and visibility.
Break stopping distance into reaction distance and braking distance and calculate both for a given speed.
Your checkpoint
A worked calculation sheet showing reaction, braking and total stopping distances at 30, 50, 90 and 130 km/h on dry and wet surfaces, plus a diagram of five junction scenarios with the priority order justified in one line each.
Driver behaviour, hazard perception and defensive driving & Traffic priority rules, intersections and roundabouts
Describe the systematic observation routine before and during a manoeuvre (mirrors, signal, blind spot, position, speed) and apply it to overtaking, lane changing and joining traffic.
Identify the main hazard categories a Greek driver meets in practice, including pedestrians on narrow streets, parked cars, motorcycles filtering, agricultural vehicles and animals.
Explain how to manage speed and space around heavy goods vehicles, buses and cyclists, including blind spots and turning conflicts.
Recognise the signs of fatigue, distraction and aggression in your own driving and state the countermeasure for each.
Your checkpoint
A hazard commentary written for five described road scenarios, each at least 80 words, naming the hazard, the earliest clue, the planned response and the escape option.
Vehicle safety, technical knowledge and maintenance checks & First aid, accident response and emergency procedures
Identify the warning lights and gauges on a standard dashboard and state the immediate action each warning requires.
Specify the checks a driver should make before a journey and weekly: tyres including tread depth and pressure, lights, fluids, brakes, wipers and visibility aids.
Explain the legal minimum tread depth and the consequences of worn tyres, faulty lights and defective brakes for both safety and vehicle inspection.
State the correct sequence of actions at the scene of a collision: protect the scene, warn traffic, call emergency services, and give the information required by law.
Describe first aid for the most likely collision injuries, including bleeding control, unconscious but breathing casualty, suspected spinal injury and burns, and state what a non-medically trained person must not do.
Your checkpoint
A two-column emergency card, one side listing dashboard warnings with required actions, the other listing the accident-scene sequence and first-aid steps, produced from memory and checked for accuracy.
Alcohol, drugs, medicines, fatigue and fitness to drive & Environmental driving, fuel efficiency and eco-driving
State the legal alcohol limit for drivers in Greece and explain how alcohol, drugs and impairing medicines affect reaction time, judgement and vision.
Classify common medicine categories that impair driving and describe how to check a medicine's effect before driving.
List the legal and practical consequences of driving under the influence, including licence measures and insurance effects.
Apply eco-driving techniques to acceleration, gear choice, cruising speed, air-conditioning use, load and route planning, and explain the fuel and emissions effect of each.
Explain how correct tyre pressure, regular servicing and removing unnecessary weight reduce consumption.
Your checkpoint
A one-page eco-driving and fitness-to-drive checklist, plus a personal plan naming three specific habits you will change and the measurable saving or risk reduction each produces.
Road traffic law and the Greek Highway Code (Κώδικας Οδικής Κυκλοφορίας) & Road signs, signals and road markings & Driver behaviour, hazard perception and defensive driving & Traffic priority rules, intersections and roundabouts & Speed limits, safe following distance and stopping & Vehicle safety, technical knowledge and maintenance checks & First aid, accident response and emergency procedures & Environmental driving, fuel efficiency and eco-driving & Alcohol, drugs, medicines, fatigue and fitness to drive
Complete at least three full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record the score and domain breakdown for each.
Re-drill every domain where your mock accuracy falls below 80% until it clears that threshold on a fresh set.
Re-read your own error logs from weeks 3 and 6 and confirm each logged rule can now be stated correctly from memory.
Rehearse the accident-scene and first-aid sequence aloud until it is produced without hesitation.
Your checkpoint
A final mock-exam record showing three timed scores, the per-domain accuracy table, and a signed note confirming every previously logged error has been re-tested and cleared.
Milestones
Week 2: Score 90% or better on a 60-item self-test restricted to signs, signals and markings, with no item missed twice.
Week 4: Correctly resolve all five junction-priority scenarios and reproduce the stopping-distance figures for four speeds on two surfaces without reference material.
Week 6: Reproduce the dashboard warning list and the accident-scene sequence from memory with no factual errors, and state the first-aid steps for bleeding and unconscious casualties correctly.
Week 8: Achieve 85% or better on three consecutive full-length timed mocks, with no single domain below 80%.
