Hungary KRESZ A1 flashcards
Hungary KRESZ A1 · Build recall with a focused review session.
32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- A1 licence limits
- Category A1 covers motorcycles up to 125 cm³ engine capacity and 11 kW power, with a power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.1 kW/kg. Minimum age is 16.
- Urban speed limit
- In built-up areas in Hungary the general speed limit is 50 km/h; outside built-up areas it is 90 km/h, and on motorways 130 km/h. Motorcycles follow the same limits.
- Right-hand priority rule
- At an unmarked equal junction, the vehicle approaching from the right has right of way. This is the default rule where no signs or markings give priority.
- Zero alcohol tolerance
- Hungary applies zero tolerance for drivers: any measurable blood-alcohol content is an offence. The same rule applies to motorcycle riders.
- Give-way sign
- An inverted red-bordered triangle means you must give way to traffic on the priority road. A red octagon marked STOP requires a complete stop at the line.
- Solid centre line
- A solid white centre line means no crossing. A broken line allows crossing if safe. Double solid lines prohibit crossing by either direction.
- Yellow zigzag line
- A yellow zigzag line along the kerb marks a bus stop or no-stopping zone. A yellow solid line means no parking.
- Traffic light sequence
- The sequence is red, then red plus amber, then green, then amber, then red. A flashing amber means proceed with caution and give way as required.
- Two-second rule
- Keep at least a 2-second following distance in dry conditions, 4 seconds in rain, and more in fog or at night. This gives time to react.
- Door zone hazard
- Parked cars can open doors suddenly. Keep at least 1 m clearance from parked cars in urban traffic to avoid being struck.
- Target fixation
- Looking at a hazard instead of the intended path causes the rider to steer toward it. Look through the bend to the exit, not at the kerb.
- First rain slipperiness
- In the first 10 to 15 minutes of rain, oil and rubber deposits float on the water film, making the road most slippery. Reduce speed and increase distance.
- Countersteering
- Above walking pace, push the right handlebar forward to lean and turn right; push left to turn left. This is the primary steering input.
- Front brake share
- The front brake provides roughly 70 to 80 percent of stopping power. Squeeze progressively rather than grabbing to avoid locking the front wheel.
- Pre-ride check
- Check tyres and pressures, oil, brakes, lights, chain tension and lubrication, controls, and fuel before riding. This routine catches faults early.
- Braking in a bend
- Brake before the corner, then maintain a steady throttle through it. Braking mid-corner reduces grip and can stand the motorcycle up.
- Helmet standard
- A helmet approved to ECE 22.05 or ECE 22.06 is mandatory for rider and passenger and must be fastened while riding.
- Pillion requirements
- Carrying a passenger requires a bike designed and registered for two persons, a proper pillion seat and footrests, and a helmet for the passenger.
- Conspicuity
- High-visibility clothing and reflective elements improve how easily drivers see you. A light-coloured helmet is more visible than a dark one.
- Fatigue on a motorcycle
- Fatigue is a major cause of motorcycle crashes. Take a break at least every 2 hours and do not ride after alcohol or impairing medication.
- Hungarian emergency numbers
- Call 112 for general emergencies, 104 for ambulance, 105 for fire, and 107 for police. Give location, number of casualties, and hazards.
- CPR ratio and rate
- Give 30 chest compressions at 100 to 120 per minute, 5 to 6 cm deep, followed by 2 rescue breaths. Repeat until help arrives or the casualty recovers.
- Helmet removal rule
- Do not remove a motorcyclist's helmet unless it is necessary to maintain the airway. If it must come off, two trained people should do it.
- Shock treatment
- Keep the casualty warm and lying down, and do not give food or drink. Monitor breathing until the ambulance arrives.
- Documents to carry
- Carry your A1 licence, vehicle registration, proof of compulsory insurance (kgfb), and a valid roadworthiness certificate where applicable.
- Compulsory insurance
- Third-party insurance (kgfb) is mandatory. Riding without it is an offence and can lead to a fine and loss of the plate.
- Penalty points
- Penalty points accumulate for traffic offences. Reaching the threshold can lead to licence suspension under the current penalty schedule.
- Duty at a crash
- In a crash involving injury you must stop, render assistance, and call the emergency services. Failing to do so is a criminal offence.
- Smooth riding efficiency
- Smooth throttle and brake use reduces fuel consumption and emissions. Avoid harsh acceleration and late braking to save fuel and ride safely.
- Tyre pressure and fuel
- Correct tyre pressure lowers rolling resistance and fuel use. Under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption and wear faster.
- Idling
- Avoid unnecessary idling: switch off the engine when stationary for more than a short stop, where it is safe to do so.
- Exhaust and noise
- A modified or faulty exhaust is an offence and disturbs residents. Keep the standard exhaust system to limit noise and emissions.
