Croatia Category AM Theory study guide
Croatia Category AM Theory · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Croatian Category AM theory test is the written examination that forms part of the licensing process for mopeds and light quadricycles in Croatia. "AM" is the moped category: it covers two-wheeled vehicles with a design speed of up to 45 km/h and an engine of up to 50 cm³ if petrol-powered (or a low-power electric motor), as well as light quadricycles that meet the corresponding mass and power limits. The Croatia Category AM Theory study guide has 8 sections and about 2,755 words.
01Traffic regulations and road signs
Traffic regulations and road signs carry the largest share of the Croatian AM theory test: priority at junctions, the meaning of sign shapes and road markings, speed and lighting rules, and your duties towards pedestrians and emergency vehicles. Questions are situational - you must apply the rule, not just name it.
445 words, about 2 min02Safe and defensive riding technique for mopeds and light quadricycles
Safe and defensive riding technique covers how you control a moped or light quadricycle in real traffic: road position, braking, cornering, following distance, and surfaces that give a two-wheeler far less grip than a car has. Ride in the right third of the lane, but about a metre out from parked cars (the door zone) and out of the gutter, where debris and drains collect.
355 words, about 2 min03Vehicle knowledge, technical condition and maintenance of mopeds and light quadricycles
Vehicle knowledge, technical condition and maintenance tests the legal definitions of AM vehicles, the components that fail most often in service, and the checks you are expected to make before riding. Moped : engine up to 50 cm³ (or electric motor up to 4 kW) with a design speed not above 45 km/h, two or three wheels.

332 words, about 2 min05Traffic psychology, hazard perception and risk awareness
Traffic psychology, hazard perception and risk awareness tests whether you can predict what other road users will do before they do it, and whether you understand why riders aged 15 to 17 crash more per kilometre than any other group. Scanning : look far (12–15 seconds ahead), then mid, then near.

315 words, about 2 min07Environmental protection and economical riding
Environmental protection and economical riding tests the link between how you ride, what your moped emits and what it costs, plus the maintenance choices that genuinely reduce pollution. Eco-riding : anticipate, roll off early, accelerate smoothly, avoid full throttle and late braking.
304 words, about 2 min08Specific risks for young and vulnerable road users
Specific risks for young and vulnerable road users asks you to recognise the people and situations that produce the worst injuries on Croatian roads, and to adjust before the hazard appears. Young riders carry the highest risk per kilometre; the first months after the licence are the deadliest because skill grows more slowly than confidence.
