Croatia Category C Theory study plan

Classify every Croatian road sign group (warning, priority, prohibition, mandatory, information, additional plates) and state the driver obligation each group creates

Distinguish priority signs and right-hand-rule situations, and explain who yields at unmarked intersections and at roundabouts

Decode lane markings, stop lines, edge lines and traffic-light sequences including flashing amber and green arrow rules

Define core speed limits for lorries and the conditions that lower them, such as built-up areas, rain and reduced visibility

Apply overtaking, following-distance and lane-discipline rules to lorry-specific scenarios, including prohibited overtaking zones

Explain parking, stopping and waiting restrictions and where a lorry may never stop

Describe behaviour at level crossings, motorway entry and exit, and in tunnels and underpasses

State the rules on lights, horn use, seat belts and mobile phone use while driving

Identify the main lorry crash causes (speed too high for conditions, close following, fatigue, distraction) and the countermeasure for each

Explain stopping distance as reaction distance plus braking distance and how load and wet road surface extend it

Recognise hazard cues in described scenarios: hidden junctions, pedestrians behind parked vehicles, cyclists at the right turn, animals

Describe safe behaviour in poor visibility, rain, ice, strong wind and at night

Name the main lorry systems (brakes, air pressure, ABS, EBS, retarder, exhaust brake) and state the warning sign of failure for each

Explain daily walk-around checks: tyres, tread depth, lights, mirrors, couplings, load, fluid levels, warning lamps

Interpret dashboard warning symbols and decide whether to stop, continue to a workshop or continue normally

Describe how load, tyre pressure and brake condition affect braking performance

Map lorry licence categories (C1, C, C1E, CE) to vehicle weights and trailer combinations, and state the minimum driver age and entitlement conditions

List the documents a professional lorry driver must carry and explain the validity periods of the driving licence and driver card

Explain the effects of alcohol, drugs and medicines on driving and state the Croatian alcohol limit for drivers and the zero-tolerance rule for novice and professional drivers

Describe medical fitness requirements, the medical certificate, and the duty to report a change in health

Apply load-securing principles: lashing, blocking, friction, centre of gravity and why the load must not shift

State the maximum authorised dimensions and weights for lorries and how excess load affects handling and braking

Explain the daily and weekly driving limits, required breaks, daily and weekly rest, and the 56-hour and 90-hour caps

Describe how to use the tachograph correctly and which manual entries and records are required

Sequence the correct actions at an accident scene: protect the site, warn traffic, call emergency services, give information

Explain how to assess a casualty, control bleeding, place an unconscious breathing casualty and perform CPR compressions

Describe how to use a warning triangle, high-visibility vest and fire extinguisher safely

Revisit the domain-1 rules most often missed in weeks 1 and 2 and correct the remaining gaps

Sit two full-length timed mock exams and record the score per domain

Review every missed question and rewrite each as a correct rule or fact statement

Drill the weakest two domains until each reaches 90% on a focused set

Rehearse the emergency action card and the pre-drive checklist once more without notes
