Hungary KRESZ D study plan
Hungary KRESZ D · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Traffic regulations (KRESZ): general rules, road-user hierarchy, obligations of drivers
List the road-user hierarchy in KRESZ order and state one concrete obligation that each level imposes on a category D driver.
Recite the general driver obligations (documents carried, vehicle condition check before departure, duty to give way to the weaker road user) without notes.
Classify 20 short traffic situations as 'must stop', 'must give way' or 'may proceed' using only general KRESZ rules, not signs.
Explain how the general rules change for a bus carrying passengers compared with a solo vehicle (e.g. pulling out from a stop, door discipline).
Your checkpoint
A one-page handwritten summary of the road-user hierarchy plus a scored 30-question set on Domain 1 at 80% or better.
Road signs, road markings and traffic light signals & Priority rules, junctions, roundabouts and right-of-way situations
Identify every sign family (warning, priority, prohibition, obligation, information, service) and give two Hungarian examples of each from memory.
Read road markings (continuous and broken lines, stop line, bus lane, bus stop marking) and state the rule each one enforces.
Sequence traffic light and police signal combinations and state which one overrides the other.
Solve 15 junction and roundabout priority scenarios, writing the deciding rule next to each answer.
Your checkpoint
A sign-and-marking flashcard deck of at least 60 items plus a 40-question mock on Domains 2 and 3 at 85% or better.
Speed limits, safe following distance and stopping/safety distances for heavy vehicles & Bus-specific vehicle knowledge: dimensions, mass, braking systems, doors, passenger safety equipment
State the general speed limits for built-up areas, outside built-up areas, motorways and expressways, and the lower limits that apply to category D vehicles.
Calculate safe following distance at 50, 70 and 80 km/h and compare it with the stopping distance of a fully loaded bus.
Describe the components of a bus braking system (service brake, parking brake, retarder/auxiliary brake) and the checks a driver must make before departure.
List the mass and dimension limits relevant to category D and explain how load distribution affects braking and cornering.
Your checkpoint
A calculation sheet showing following and stopping distances for three speeds, plus a 25-question set on Domains 4 and 6 at 80% or better.
Vehicle categories, licence classes and category D specific driving rules & Passenger transport rules: boarding and alighting, standing passengers, seat belts, luggage
Map licence categories and their vehicle definitions, and state exactly what category D and D1 entitle the holder to drive.
Explain the medical, age and periodic-training conditions attached to category D.
Describe correct boarding and alighting procedure, including door control, mirror checks and the rule on standing passengers.
State the seat-belt and restraint rules for the driver, front-row passengers and passengers in coaches, and the luggage stowage rules.
Your checkpoint
A written procedure checklist for a full passenger stop (approach, stop, doors, boarding, alighting, departure) plus a 30-question set on Domains 5 and 7 at 85% or better.
Driving and rest periods, tachograph and road transport working-time rules & First aid, accident handling and emergency procedures
State the daily and weekly driving limits, the required breaks and the daily and weekly rest rules for road transport.
Explain what a tachograph records, which manual entries a driver must make and what to do when the card or device fails.
Apply the working-time rules for mobile workers to a sample two-week roster and flag every infringement.
Demonstrate the first-aid sequence for an unconscious casualty, severe bleeding and a suspected spinal injury after a bus incident.
Your checkpoint
A completed two-week sample roster with all infringements marked, plus a written accident-scene action plan covering warning, securing the scene, calling emergency services and casualty care.
Hazard perception and safe driving in traffic situations (video/scenario-based items) & Traffic regulations (KRESZ): general rules, road-user hierarchy, obligations of drivers
Watch or read 15 hazard scenarios and state, for each, the earliest cue, the correct speed or lane response and the escape route.
Name the main blind-spot zones around a bus and the mirror checks that cover each one.
Explain how weather, darkness and road surface change safe speed and following distance for a heavy vehicle.
Re-test the Domain 1 rules that appeared inside the hazard scenarios and correct every earlier mistake.
Your checkpoint
A hazard log of 15 scenarios, each with cue, response and escape route, plus a 20-question set on Domain 9 at 85% or better.
Priority rules, junctions, roundabouts and right-of-way situations & Passenger transport rules: boarding and alighting, standing passengers, seat belts, luggage & Bus-specific vehicle knowledge: dimensions, mass, braking systems, doors, passenger safety equipment
Solve 20 mixed junction, roundabout and priority scenarios under time pressure, including bus-specific cases such as leaving a stop and turning across a cycle lane.
Rehearse the passenger-safety sequence for an emergency: evacuation routes, emergency exits, fire extinguisher and first-aid kit location.
Recite the pre-departure walk-around check for a category D vehicle from memory.
Review every wrong answer from weeks 1 to 6 and write the corrected rule beside it.
Your checkpoint
A full-length timed mock exam across all 10 domains, scored and reviewed, with an error list of no more than 10 remaining weak points.
Traffic regulations (KRESZ): general rules, road-user hierarchy, obligations of drivers & Road signs, road markings and traffic light signals & Priority rules, junctions, roundabouts and right-of-way situations & Speed limits, safe following distance and stopping/safety distances for heavy vehicles & Vehicle categories, licence classes and category D specific driving rules & Bus-specific vehicle knowledge: dimensions, mass, braking systems, doors, passenger safety equipment & Passenger transport rules: boarding and alighting, standing passengers, seat belts, luggage & Driving and rest periods, tachograph and road transport working-time rules & Hazard perception and safe driving in traffic situations (video/scenario-based items) & First aid, accident handling and emergency procedures
Close every remaining weak point on the week 7 error list and re-test each one.
Complete two full timed mock exams and score at least 90% on both.
Recite the highest-risk rules (hierarchy, priority, speed limits for D, driving and rest limits) without notes.
Simulate the exam-day routine: document check, timing plan and review strategy.
Your checkpoint
Two completed mock exams at 90% or better with a signed-off error list showing zero unresolved items.
Milestones
Week 2: Score 80% or better on a 30-question set drawn from Domains 1, 2 and 3 combined, and explain any wrong answer aloud without notes.
Week 4: Score 85% or better on a 40-question set covering Domains 4, 5, 6 and 7, and produce the passenger-stop checklist unaided.
Week 6: Score 85% or better on a 30-question set from Domains 8, 9 and 10, and complete the two-week roster with every infringement correctly flagged.
Week 8: Score 90% or better on two full timed mock exams and show an error list with no unresolved items.
