Croatia Category BE Theory study plan

Identify and name every road sign class that changes meaning when a trailer is attached (height, width, mass, length limits, no-trailer signs) from a self-made list of 40 signs

State the Croatian speed limits for a car with trailer on motorway, outside built-up area and inside built-up area, and write them from memory

Explain the ban on overtaking and the safe following-distance rule as they apply to combinations, in your own words

Calculate the permissible trailer mass for three example towing vehicles using their registration data (kerb mass, permissible mass, vertical load)

List the dimensions that trigger a permit or escort requirement for an over-sized combination

Solve 60 mixed traffic-regulation questions covering signs, markings, priority and combination-specific restrictions, logging every error with the reason

Apply the nose-weight and 7% / 4% vertical-load rules to five towing-vehicle/trailer pairings and decide which are legal

Draw a load plan for a 1,300 kg trailer carrying a heavy toolbox and light camping gear, showing axle and coupling load distribution

Recite the rules on projecting loads, rear marking boards and lighting of loads that overhang

Name the main coupling types (ball, eye, fifth wheel) and state the inspection points and wear limits for each

Explain how the overrun brake, breakaway cable and safety chain work together, and describe the correct attachment sequence

Trace the 7-pin and 13-pin socket pin assignments and diagnose three lighting faults from symptoms alone

Describe the checks in a pre-trip walkaround for a combination, in the correct order, from coupling to lights

State the tyre, tread-depth and pressure requirements for towing vehicle and trailer, including the twin-axle and tandem-axle cases

Explain why a trailer starts to snake, list five contributing causes and the correct corrective action (accelerate or brake, and why)

Describe the effect of a trailer on braking distance, and explain why engine braking and lower gears matter on long descents

Practise, in a safe empty area or with an instructor, coupling, uncoupling and a straight-line reverse, and record what went wrong

Explain how weight distribution behind the axle changes steering-axle grip and stability

State the correct procedure after a tyre blowout or brake failure on the trailer

Plan an overtaking manoeuvre with a trailer step by step, including the extra distance needed and when to abort

Describe the correct line and speed for a roundabout and a tight right turn with a trailer, including the swing-out of the trailer

State the safe following distance in seconds for a combination at 80 km/h in dry and wet conditions, with the reasoning

Explain how crosswind, downhill gradients and road camber affect a loaded trailer and what inputs the driver should make

List five situations where you must reduce speed specifically because of the trailer

List the documents that must be carried when driving a BE combination in Croatia and state what each one proves

Explain the BE licence entitlement: what masses it covers, how it differs from B96 and B, and the rules on towing after passing the BE test

Describe the steps after a breakdown on a motorway with a trailer: warning triangle, hi-vis vest, passenger placement, emergency call

State the first-aid priorities at a scene, including how to protect the scene and when not to move an injured person

Explain the procedure for a trailer tyre change on a narrow road and the legal requirements for warning other traffic

Explain how trailer aerodynamics and speed affect fuel consumption, and state the most fuel-efficient cruising speed range for a combination

Describe eco-driving techniques for a combination: smooth acceleration, anticipation, use of engine braking, correct tyre pressure

Identify noise sources on a trailer and state how load securing and driving style reduce noise

Plan a 200 km route choosing the most fuel-efficient option, weighing motorway versus secondary roads

List the checks that reduce fuel use before departure (pressure, load, unnecessary roof load, coupling)

Complete two full timed mock exams under test conditions and score at least 85% on each

Revisit every error from weeks 1-7 and rewrite the underlying rule correctly

Recite the combination speed limits, vertical-load rules and BE licence rules from memory without notes

Run a full pre-trip walkaround and coupling sequence from memory, timed, without the checklist

Write the emergency action sequence for a motorway breakdown from memory
