8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Közlekedési alapismeretek és KRESZ szabályok (Közúti Közlekedés Szabályai)

  • Recite the general right-of-way rules for uncontrolled intersections (jobbról jövő elsőbbség) and the exceptions that override them.

  • Explain the meaning of each road marking (záróvonal, terelővonal, osztóvonal, kerékpársáv) and state where overtaking or crossing is prohibited.

  • Describe the correct behaviour at zebra crossings, including pedestrian priority, approach speed, and the ban on overtaking a vehicle stopped at a crossing.

  • State the legal speed limits for built-up areas, outside built-up areas, expressways and motorways, plus the special limits for towing and for novice drivers.

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn or printed one-page 'priority cheat sheet' covering sign categories, right-hand rule and its exceptions, and all speed limits, self-tested to 90% accuracy on 30 mixed questions.

Week 2

Közlekedési alapismeretek és KRESZ szabályok (Közúti Közlekedés Szabályai)

  • List the documents and equipment legally required to drive a category B vehicle in Hungary and explain when each must be produced on request.

  • Explain the rules on safety belts, child restraint systems, helmets and the prohibition of handheld phone use, with the applicable penalties.

  • Describe the correct sequence of actions at a level crossing, including the meaning of the St Andrew's cross, light signals and barrier states.

  • Outline the rules on stopping and parking (distance from crossings, bus stops, junctions, railway crossings) and the meaning of the relevant signs.

  • Summarize the alcohol, drug and fatigue rules, including the zero-tolerance limit and the consequences of refusing a test.

Your checkpoint

A 25-item written self-quiz on documents, equipment, crossing and parking rules, scored and corrected, with every wrong answer rewritten as a correct rule statement.

Week 3

Közlekedési alapismeretek és KRESZ szabályok (Közúti Közlekedés Szabályai) & Forgalmi és üzemeltetési ismeretek, biztonságos közlekedés

  • Describe the priority rules for trams, buses leaving stops, emergency vehicles with sirens and vehicles on roundabouts.

  • Explain the required behaviour in a traffic jam (emergency corridor - mentősáv) and at accident scenes, including the duty to render assistance and to secure the scene.

  • Identify the main causes of accidents involving novice drivers and state three concrete countermeasures you will apply.

  • Interpret the sign combinations that change priority at junctions (e.g. first-priority road ending, yield sign with supplementary plate) and resolve five written junction scenarios correctly.

  • State the rules for pedestrian zones, residential areas (lakó-pihenő övezet) and 30 km/h zones.

Your checkpoint

Five written junction-priority scenarios solved in full, each with a one-sentence justification citing the governing rule, all correct.

Week 4

Járművezetés-elmélet és járműkezelés

  • Explain the function of the clutch, gearbox, differential and final drive in transmitting engine torque to the road wheels.

  • Describe the correct seating position, mirror adjustment and steering-wheel grip, and justify each adjustment in terms of control and visibility.

  • Explain the purpose and correct use of the clutch at pull-away and gear change, including the risk of riding the clutch.

  • Describe the observation sequence before moving off (mirrors, blind spot, indicator) and the correct procedure for pulling away uphill without rolling back.

  • Explain engine braking, the correct gear for a descent, and why coasting in neutral is unsafe.

Your checkpoint

A written cockpit drill checklist (seating, mirrors, belts, controls) plus a step-by-step pull-away and uphill-start procedure, rehearsed aloud to a study partner or recorded and reviewed.

Week 5

Járművezetés-elmélet és járműkezelés & Forgalmi és üzemeltetési ismeretek, biztonságos közlekedés

  • Explain the physics of braking: weight transfer, stopping distance as a function of speed, and the effect of wet or icy surfaces.

  • Describe the operation and limits of ABS, ESP and traction control, and state what the driver must still do when they intervene.

  • Outline the correct actions when aquaplaning, skidding or losing grip on a bend, and explain why sudden braking or steering worsens a skid.

  • Explain safe following distance in seconds and apply the two-second rule to three different speeds.

  • Describe the effects of alcohol, fatigue, medication and night driving on reaction time and perception.

Your checkpoint

A table of stopping distances and two-second gaps at 30, 50, 90 and 130 km/h with a short written explanation of how wet or icy conditions change each figure.

Week 6

Műszaki ismeretek és járműkarbantartás

  • Identify the main components of the braking system (disc, pads, fluid, master cylinder) and state the warning signs of wear or failure.

  • Explain the tyre markings (size, load index, speed rating, DOT date, tread depth) and the legal minimum tread depth in Hungary.

  • Describe the checks a driver must perform before a journey: tyres, lights, fluids, wipers, mirrors, and the meaning of dashboard warning lamps.

  • Explain the function of the battery, alternator, cooling system and engine oil, and the consequences of neglecting each.

  • State the correct procedure for changing a wheel safely at the roadside and the legal requirements for the warning triangle and reflective vest.

Your checkpoint

A completed pre-journey inspection checklist applied to a real or simulated vehicle, with photographs or notes of each check and a list of any defects found.

Week 7

Műszaki ismeretek és járműkarbantartás & Forgalmi és üzemeltetési ismeretek, biztonságos közlekedés

  • Describe the legal requirements for vehicle registration, compulsory insurance (kgfb) and the periodic technical inspection (műszaki vizsga).

  • Explain the environmental and operational rules for winter tyres, snow chains and seasonal vehicle preparation.

  • Outline the rules on load, towing and roof racks, including the effect on stability and braking.

  • Explain how to plan a long journey with rest breaks, and state the recommended break interval and duration.

  • Describe the correct actions after a breakdown on a motorway, including warning-triangle placement and where to wait.

Your checkpoint

A one-page owner's maintenance and legal-compliance calendar covering service intervals, tyre changes, insurance renewal and technical inspection dates.

Week 8
