Croatia Category AM Theory · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Traffic regulations and road signs
Identify and name every category of Croatian road sign (warning, regulation, priority, information, additional plates) and state the rider's obligation for each category without notes
Reproduce the priority rules for unmarked intersections, roundabouts, and turning across oncoming traffic from memory and apply them to 20 short written scenarios
Explain the meaning of the main road markings and traffic-light combinations a moped rider meets in urban areas
State the default speed limits for mopeds and light quadricycles in built-up and outside built-up areas, and the rules on where mopeds may and may not be ridden
Your checkpoint
A self-made one-page sign and priority cheat sheet plus 30 self-written scenario questions answered with at least 90 percent accuracy
Traffic regulations and road signs
Apply right-of-way, overtaking, lane-position and turning rules to 40 practice scenarios and justify each answer in one sentence
List the situations in which a moped is prohibited from entering a motorway, expressway or cycle path and explain why
Interpret parking, stopping and restricted-zone signs together with additional plates such as time limits and vehicle categories
Describe the correct response to police signals, hand signals from other road users, and level-crossing signals
Your checkpoint
A timed 40-question domain-1 mock test scored at 85 percent or higher, with every wrong answer rewritten as a corrected rule
Traffic regulations and road signs & Safe and defensive riding technique for mopeds and light quadricycles
Consolidate domain 1 by completing two full timed mock tests and closing every remaining knowledge gap
Demonstrate the pre-ride check sequence (tyres, brakes, lights, mirrors, fuel, chain or belt) in the correct order
Explain the braking technique for a moped in a straight line and in a curve, including the front-to-rear brake balance and the risk of locking the front wheel
Describe defensive riding habits: lane positioning, mirror and shoulder checks, and anticipating car blind spots
Your checkpoint
A written pre-ride checklist with the reasoning behind each item, plus a 20-item error log from the two mock tests
Safe and defensive riding technique for mopeds and light quadricycles & Traffic psychology, hazard perception and risk awareness
Explain how speed, surface, weather and load change stopping distance for a moped and estimate stopping distance at 30 and 50 km/h
Identify the five most common hazard types a moped rider meets (dooring, junctions, wet paint and tram rails, gravel, sudden braking ahead) and state a countermeasure for each
Describe how alcohol, fatigue, distraction and peer pressure degrade hazard perception and reaction time
Apply a hazard-perception routine to 15 written road scenes and rank the risks in each
Your checkpoint
A hazard-perception worksheet of 15 scenes with ranked risks and countermeasures, reviewed against your own error log
Vehicle knowledge, technical condition and maintenance of mopeds/light quadricycles & Environmental protection and economical riding
Name the main components of a moped or light quadricycle and state the function of each (engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, lighting, tyres)
List the legal minimum tread depth, lighting and brake requirements a moped must meet to be roadworthy in Croatia
Diagnose five common faults from symptoms (poor braking, uneven tyre wear, weak lights, starting problems, unusual vibration) and state the correct action
Explain how riding style, tyre pressure, load and idling affect fuel consumption and emissions, and list three habits that reduce both
Your checkpoint
A maintenance and fault-diagnosis table of at least 12 components with symptoms, cause and action, plus a personal economical-riding plan
First aid and behaviour at the scene of a traffic accident & Responsibilities of drivers, documentation and traffic offences
Demonstrate the correct first-aid sequence at a crash scene: securing the scene, alerting emergency services on 112, assessing responsiveness and breathing, and placing an unconscious breathing casualty in the recovery position
Explain how to control bleeding, treat shock and burns, and when not to move a casualty
State the documents a moped rider must carry and the rules on registration, insurance, helmet use and carrying a passenger
List the consequences of the main traffic offences (speeding, alcohol, red light, no helmet) in terms of penalties, points and licence consequences
Your checkpoint
A first-aid action card written from memory and a documentation and offences summary sheet checked against official Croatian sources
Specific risks for young and vulnerable road users & First aid and behaviour at the scene of a traffic accident & Traffic psychology, hazard perception and risk awareness
Explain why young riders are over-represented in crashes and identify the specific risks of inexperience, night riding and carrying a passenger
Describe the vulnerability of pedestrians, cyclists, children and elderly road users and how to adjust riding near schools, crossings and bus stops
Rehearse the crash-scene sequence and first-aid steps aloud twice without notes
Revisit the hazard-perception worksheet and add three new scenarios involving vulnerable road users
Your checkpoint
A one-page vulnerable-road-user risk briefing and a second no-notes first-aid rehearsal verified against the week-6 action card
Traffic regulations and road signs & Safe and defensive riding technique for mopeds and light quadricycles & Vehicle knowledge, technical condition and maintenance of mopeds/light quadricycles & First aid and behaviour at the scene of a traffic accident & Traffic psychology, hazard perception and risk awareness & Responsibilities of drivers, documentation and traffic offences & Environmental protection and economical riding & Specific risks for young and vulnerable road users
Complete four full timed mock exams covering all eight domains and score at least 90 percent on each
Review every remaining error and convert it into a corrected rule in your own words
Recite the sign categories, priority rules, speed limits, first-aid sequence and document list from memory
Simulate exam conditions: no notes, fixed time limit, one sitting per mock
Your checkpoint
Four completed mock exams at 90 percent or higher with a final consolidated error list of no more than 10 items, each with its corrected rule
Milestones
Week 2: Domain-1 mock test at 85 percent or higher; every wrong answer rewritten as a corrected rule
Week 4: Pre-ride checklist, stopping-distance estimates and 15-scene hazard worksheet completed; domain-2 and domain-5 self-test at 80 percent or higher
Week 6: First-aid action card and documentation and offences sheet reproduced from memory with no more than two omissions
Week 8: Four full mock exams at 90 percent or higher and a final error list of 10 items or fewer
