Greece Category B Theory Test study plan

Greece Category B Theory Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

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.

Week 2

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.

Week 3

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.

Week 4

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.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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%.
